What to know before buying

The 135-hour battery figure is not the ANC-on figure. The manufacturer separately claims over 75 hours with ANC active, and neither figure is an independent measurement.
The listing identifies the product as Nothing Headphone (a), but its headline calls it “2026 New” without clarifying what that date refers to. Treat performance and feature statements as manufacturer claims.

Customer feedback highlights sound quality, especially stronger bass, as well as comfort, design, controls, noise cancellation and battery life. Those reported impressions align with the product's stated over-ear design, ANC and long mode-dependent battery claims, but do not verify those specifications. The overall rating distribution is largely five-star while still including lower ratings, so experiences are not uniform.

Positive themes

Customers praise sound quality and stronger bass.
Customers report comfort during extended wear and appreciate the design and controls.
Customers speak positively about noise cancellation and battery life.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the stated battery life?

The specifications list 135 hours. The manufacturer separately claims over 75 hours with ANC active, so these should not be treated as the same listening condition.

Can the headphones be used with a cable?

The listing specifies a 3.5 mm jack and lists USB Type-C among the hardware interfaces. It also describes wired listening through either USB-C or a 3.5 mm connection.

Does the package include a protective case?

The supplied manufacturer contents list names a cable, protective case and user manual. Check the selected listing to confirm its package contents.
