Nothing Headphone (1) Pro review: a strange case, but sonically not without merit
TechRadar Verdict Nothing has worked extremely hard on this, its most premium set of over-ear noise-cancelling headphones to date. The Headphone (1) Pro are also the company's third effort under its main Nothing name (not counting the firm's excellent budget CMF arm, and its fun Headphone Pro option) so you'd be forgiven for thinking it's plain sailing now. Two hits under its belt, so add a few spatial audio presets with the option of head-tracking, up the comfort levels, tweak the audio architecture and EQ tab accordingly, eke a little more efficacy from the ANC software and boom?
