For its new flagship headphones, Nothing teamed up with Metropolis Studios, the London studio behind decades of film scores and pop records. Together they built five EQ profiles, each tied to an iconic British music genre: Neo-Jazz, Rock, UK Rap + Grime, Electronica, and Bass. Flip to the Flat EQ option for a neutral version of the track, with none of the bass boost or spatial effects layered on top, or go the other direction with Dynamic Spatial Audio mode, a wider soundstage designed for concentrated listening. The earcups are solid aluminum, the headband arms are now titanium, and the whole thing weighs nearly half what the previous design did. Battery runs 30 hours with noise cancelling on, 68 hours with it off. I burn through headphones on travel weeks, so the 68-hour figure is the one I’d actually notice. At $399, it undercuts Sony’s $650 1000X Collextion by a clean $250.
