Nothing x KEF - Headphone (1)

Very much agree. At first I was put off, especially in the vocals. But then I compared them to quiet comfort and a few others, and really say with the Eq and these are lovely. Not too of the line, but not trying to be. Really dig them. How would you compare them to momentum 4? Thinking about those as well

So you don't want something too expensive as they could easily get damaged but something with good quality audio behind it, id have to recommend the Nothing Headphones 1, dust protected which is helpful for workspace and have great quality for the price

Yeah, I picked up a pair for super cheap mostly just for traveling and planes. The ANC is great, the sound quality is meh, extremely bass heavy. I was able to make it sound a lot better with the Sony EQ app. They are decent when you can get them on sale.

EQ feels more like a buyer justification. They’re objectively bad headphones for RRP and passable on sale. I got them on Black Friday for £179 and I’m selling them. They’re just underbaked compared to competition. They’re also suffering from a bad soundstage and tight clamping, noise cancellation isn’t great either.

Yeah spotify over Bluetooth is a little quiet. Plugged in these things can blast, though. For daily use I dont mind the volume not going very high, but when I'm listening to a song for the first time sometimes I wanna lock in and really hear all of it.

Nothing ear. Best ones by a mile

After I saw they work with KEF I was so excited because I have KEF SPEAKERS and I love them but after listening to them I got so disappointed

For my ears to plain nothing special to me

I use Soundcore Q20i. Dirt cheap, comfy, and do the trick. My wife has the Q30 simply because it had nicer colors and it's also great. When I want to be discreet I use Soundcore Liberty 5 in ears with foam plugs (or just plain old loops for passive NC). Honestly I'm happy with my setup as is, but I also kind of fell in love with the Nothing over ears, so... 👀

I use Apple Earpods when I’m lazy and away from my desk with my PO-33, KOII and OP-1 Field. Beyerdynamic 770 when I’m at my desk and Nothing Headphone (1) when I’m in the mood for great design.

FYI Just got the Nothing Headphones for the same reasons, but as much as I wanted them to work for me, the headband and clamping force is too tight for some people, including me. Having constant pain where the headband meets the top of my head. I’m returning them today.
