I Tested Nothing’s Headphone (1) Pro, and They’re Almost Everything I’d Hoped They’d Be
At $399, its new Headphone (1) Pro are its most expensive headphones to date, and not surprisingly, it’s most advanced. Not only do the over-ear headphones feature new transducers with a triple-driver configuration, but improved noise-canceling and a more premium design with upgraded machined metal, as well as shatter- and scratch-resistant Panda glass on both earcups instead of translucent plastic. If you can overlook their style-over-substance carrying case — it’s a hardshell riff on Apple’s controversial AirPods Max case — they are impressive headphones that compete favorably against other models in this price range.
