TL;DR: Nothing's upcoming Headphones 1, launching July 1 alongside the Phone 3, feature a unique see-through cassette tape-inspired design with physical buttons and wired connectivity. Priced around $309, they aim to disrupt the premium headphone market, challenging brands like Apple and Sennheiser with innovative style and affordability.

Nothing's upcoming Headphones 1 have been teased ahead of their official launch on July 1, with a look at the interesting (and awesome) design aesthetic the UK-based company is going with. Check them out:

The upcoming Nothing Headphones 1 have a sweet see-through design that makes them look like a cassette tape, and they truly don't look like anything else on the market. The new Headphones 1 like a cassette tape on a slab of smooth metal, available in black and grey or silver and white options.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the company's new Headphones 1 will be launched on July 1 alongside its new flagship Phone 3 smartphone at its live appearance during SXSW in London earlier this month.

Personally, I totally dig the design of the Nothing Headphones 1 as an Apple AirPods Max owner, and the new Headphones 1 will be much cheaper according to rumors with a price of around $309 in the US. We don't know what sound quality to expect from the new Headphones 1, but we can see there are physical buttons on the right cup of the headphones, as well as a spot to plug in your audio cable to connect your PC, console, smartphone, etc into the Headphones 1.

We can expect the headphone wars to take off in a couple of weeks when Nothing launches its new Headphones 1, and it won't just be against Apple either. Sennheiser has already been making fun of the new Nothing Headphones 1, where the company teased: "the only way we'd make a design like that is if we were bought out again and had the best salespeople, even then...". Firing shots already, I see.
