Leaked details outline a move from single-driver cans to a three-driver setup, studio tuning with Metropolis Studios, expanded connectivity, refined transparent design and adaptive noise control powered by 10 microphones.
Triple-driver architecture per ear with dedicated bass, mid and high drivers plus an XMems unit for high-frequency clarity.
Adaptive ANC using 10 microphones and a Transparency mode for situational awareness.
Refined transparent design with aluminum and scratch-resistant glass, IP52 rating, physical controls and a rumored neutral 'flat' switch.
# What leaked specs tell us
Nothing's rumored Headphone (1) Pro shifts the product toward a more studio-focused, premium over-ear. The most structural change is the move to a triple-driver layout in each ear cup: separate drivers for bass, mid-range and highs, with an additional XMems driver aimed at improving high-frequency detail. The combination is meant to deliver a more balanced and resolved soundstage than a single-driver design.
# Noise control and microphones
Noise cancellation gets a technical upgrade. The Pro is described as having 10 adaptive microphones feeding an ANC system that adjusts to the environment in real time. A dedicated Transparency mode is included so users can bring ambient sound in when they need situational awareness.
# Design and materials
The headphones keep Nothing's transparent aesthetic but with refined finishes. Frosted and tinted transparent panels combine with aluminum and scratch-resistant glass for a more premium feel. The leak lists an IP52 dust and water resistance rating.
On the controls side, physical buttons live on the right ear cup. The left ear cup is said to include a newly introduced "flat" switch that reportedly activates a neutral sound profile. Ear cushions and the headband were hinted to be softer and wider for longer-wear comfort.
# Connectivity and codecs
The leaked information expands compatibility: Bluetooth 6.1 and LDAC support are mentioned for higher-resolution wireless audio. The headphones also reportedly include a 3.5mm headphone jack plus USB-C for wired connections and charging.
# Battery and availability
Battery life in the leak tops out at around 60 hours of playback when ANC and LDAC are disabled. A launch date near the end of September 2026 was reported, with European pricing around €349 and a U.S. MSRP near $399.
# What this means for buyers
Buyers deciding between mid-range competitors and premium models will want to compare measured ANC performance, real-world battery figures with ANC on, and how the triple-driver tuning translates across different music genres once hands-on reviews arrive.
