Nothing Headphone (1) review: Unlike anything else I've ever seen

Reece takes a look at some of the most talked-about headphones he's ever used - the Nothing Headphone (1). Is it all style over substance?

There are options for enhancing elements such as bass separately, plus you'll finda low-latency gaming mode for mobile use, too.The spatial audio is based on head tracking, although it felt a little forced and synthetic with the music I listened to. If you want a little more oomph, you can also dial up the Bass Enhancement a couple of levels in the Nothing X app, which I did when listening to Daryl Hall & John Oates' One on One, which added a tad more presence where required, but it didn't fel too overbearing. I felt the mid-range to be pleasantly smooth and given enough room to breathe above the punchy low end, with a good feel to September Grass from James Taylor with his lovely vocal and warm acoustic guitar work.
