Introduction
It started with some smartphones a few years ago. Now, nothing is a wide range of products, including headphones. In fact, the airbodes lineup of anything has gained impressive popularity, and its office is also fans.
And after some TWS airbids, the company is going to the Premium Over Air Air area with no headphones (1). The company wants to challenge Titans with the choice of Bose, Sony, Apple and Senaizer, among others.
Headphone (1) Premium features are being brought with an aggressive price tag, which should force you to think twice before defaulting the more established brands. The design is very polarizing, but it cannot be denied that it is discussed.
Inboxing
Nothing headphones (1) come in a huge white box, which contains a very good soft shell case, USB-C cable, and 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm audio cable that you can use when the battery is finished.
The matter is a good touch and is made very well, but it easily collects dust and hair from your pet.
Design and relief
One of the main features of the headphones (1) is the retro design. Why Retro? Because the cups of the ear copy the old cassette tapes. And the standout is even a major part of the DNA of anything if not like the global design.
Available colors are white and black and we have the first number for this review.
The quality of construction is excellent. It uses a mixture of metal, plastic and wrong leather material for ear pads. In any case, they feel strong and sleek. Probably even a little tight.
One of our major complaints weighs headphones (1). This couple indicates a scale of 329 grams, which is 80 grams higher than the competitive solution of Bose and Sony. Also, the Bose QC Ultra is slightly taller and wider, but quite thin. The weight difference is not so important at first, but in the end it can be felt after wearing a headphone.
In addition, the head band on the headphones (1) feels a bit tight with my taste. Even if I completely loose the headband, it clamps my head with a little enthusiastically, which increases the feeling of heavy pinning after an hour of music.
Another minor problem we had with the headphone is portability. Competitors such as Sony Wh-1000xm6 and Bose Quettafort Ultra combined to fit their mines to fit into a small case, so they do not take much space in your bag at the airport for example. Despite being thinner, the headphone (1) case almost fills my bag itself.
Control
Nothing is a great thing about the headphone. The company is going against the current with this approach as most brands prefer to use touch controls on ear cups, which, especially in some activities, builds Mistachchwich.
With headphones (1), you get the original physical buttons. They are all located on the right. In the back section, you have a volume scroller, which does not provide any small feedback and feels like a free scroll on the mouse, and also works as a game/pause button. Below the scroller, you get a physical pedal used to go on the next track or play a previous game. It is also used to respond and reject the incoming calls. The pedal resurns the right or left fast forwards or the track.
You will find the USB-C port and 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom/off switch below.
And then there is a virtual assistant button dedicated to the ear cup. Headphones offer integration with Google Assistant and Sri.
Overall, the controls are very good, but a superstar opinion on the roller is improved. For example, when I returned to scratch my neck, I mistakenly turned the volume. The roller is just very sensitive. I also think that it would be easier to put them in front.
Software and features
Headphone (1) works with the X -fellow app on Android and iOS to give you more customization options. The app itself is quite straightforward and de -disorder with the user -friendly interface.
You have received noise cancellation control over the top with low, middle, high and adaptive methods. We recommend the best possible experience. You can also use the transparency mode, which increases the acne sound, and it can be useful when traveling through heavy traffic on a motorcycle or scooter. Of course, you can completely close the NC.
Nothing x apps
Since the headphone also supports local audio, you can set it on the fix or follow the movement of your head through a head tracking mode.
And then there are settings of the boss rise and equality. The first is a beautiful self -descriptive, while equally offers you control over sound tuning. The simple tab offers a group of presentants, and you can also set a customs yourself. On the other hand, the advanced tab will be greatly appreciated by power users and audio files as it provides you with more precise tuning for each frequency, and you can save different sound profiles.
Easy and advanced equality
The control subcumu gives you access to some controls. For example, the dedicated digital assistant button can be re -programmed according to your choice.
Customize controls
Other notable features and settings include Low League mode, which is useful at the time of gaming, the ability to switch between AAC and LDAC audio codecs, over -air detection (stopped audio while removing the headphones) and dual connection, which allows you to connect with two devices simultaneously. Let’s say your laptop and your smartphone.
Additional features
Efficiency
Audio Quality
Nothing headphones (1) rely on two large 40 mm dynamic sound drivers, which are fine in partnership with the British Audio Company F.
Now, I need to say that voice tuning is largely a source. Some people find boss heavy sound charming, especially if they are listening to hip -hop or electronic music more often. However, I know the more balanced sound. That is why I find it difficult to give these phones a great score because the boss can sometimes give more power to sound and mids.
The default tuning of headphones (1) is a bit heavy for my taste. Even despite the sound tuning options provided, you can feel the powerful boss. Increasing the tuggling, lowering the boss with a mark, and adding a slight to the middle frequency to the equivalent menu helps to extract sounds and mids.
This is being said, the overall sound quality is still very good. In addition, I think this bose can easily move beyond the head with the Bose QC Ultra, Sony WH -1000 XM6 and Apple’s Air Pods Max. People who like soft, warm sound tuning will definitely enjoy any headphones.
However, watching movies and videos, I recommend to reduce the boss substantially, otherwise the sounds are very loud.
Microphone and call quality
Headphone (1) is equipped with a total of 6 microphone, 3. However, only 4 of them use Mics for headphone calls.
Microphones
Unfortunately, this headphone couple is the biggest downward side. The quality of the call is not invasive. Even in a calm environment, I have received permanent complaints about the quality of the call at the other end. So if you are planning to use them often for calls, you would like to see somewhere else.
Noise cancellation
Contrary to our audio quality experience, the noise cancellation performance is probably the best I have tried. Nothing advertises the depth of 42 db and the frequency of 2000 Hz. But it doesn’t matter how good your active noise is canceled, if the inactive NC is not good, the performance is bad.
Thankfully, neither of these two was found. The passive isolation is very good, you will not need to cancel the maximum noise in a light noise environment. The most noise of the ANC blocks. They are perfect for traveling in the city or traveling by plane.
In terms of ANC, the headphones (1) are certainly present with the best.
Battery life
There is no one of the manufacturers who openly reveals the capacity of his headphone’s battery. The headphone (1) offers an impressive 1,040 MAh cell that takes two hours to completely charge. However, the capabilities of sharp charging are not bad. You get about 2.4 hours with audio playback with ANC for only 5 minutes on the charger.
According to nothing, headphones (1) can last up to 35 hours with ANC and 80 hours without ANC. But this is with the AAC audio codec. Switching in the LDAC reduces the run time by 30 and 54 hours respectively.
My experience shows that these numbers are less and more accurate. In AAC mode, the pair comfortably reached a 35 -hour mark with the ANC, while the LDAC reduced the run time for a few hours.
It doesn’t matter if the ANC is on or off, the headphone (1) offers a solid battery life. Boy and Apple’s competitive solution is even better.
Conclusion
Nothing headphones (1) is a talented kid of the sports team that has just started, but it is as good as everyone. Nothing in the first attempt. Low air headphones are successful before the company.
Certainly, they are rather heavy, not the most portable pair, and voice call quality subper, but they easily match the best in the industry in terms of sound quality, noise cancellation and quality construction. The polarizing design grew over me, and I liked the control of the hardware, which is very unique to the headphones (1). No need to mention, the solution to anything is not cheaper than the rest. They cost € 300 in Europe and $ 300 in the United States, with large -scale headphones reduced to headphones like Bose QC Ultra and Air Pod Max.
So do I recommend anything headphone (1)? Yes, they are easy to recommend, especially for those who want to buy more and more priced aircraft with premium features and hot, stale sounds.
