Nothing Delivers On Affordable Promise With Colorful New Options

Nothing Headphone (a) Leak Reveals Color Options and Launch Time, Further Solidifying Company’s Affordable Strategy

A recent leak from Dealabs has provided some insight into what consumers can expect from Nothing in the near future. The company is working on a new model called the Nothing Headphone (a), which is expected to be a more affordable alternative to its existing premium headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1.

The leaked details suggest that the Nothing Headphone (a) will be available in four color options: Black, Pink, White, and Yellow. This color range is likely intended to appeal to a wider audience and provide customers with more choices when selecting their new headphones. The pricing of the Nothing Headphone (a) is reportedly EUR 159 in Europe and GBP 149 in the UK, positioning it as a competitive alternative to established brands.

According to the leak, the headphones are tipped to be officially announced on March 12, with pre-orders opening a week earlier on March 5. The launch is expected to take place in Europe first, followed by other global markets, although there’s no word yet on an India launch timeline.

Nothing has shifted its focus towards more affordable options since its inception, and it seems that the company is committed to expanding this approach to other product categories. This strategy has been a key aspect of Nothing’s brand identity since its founding by Carl Pei, one of the co-founders of OnePlus.

The company was founded with the goal of creating products that are both stylish and affordable, and it has expanded its product range to include a variety of headphones, from budget-friendly options like the Ear (1) to more premium models like the Headphone 1. The focus on affordability has been evident in its pricing strategy, which often positions its products as competitive alternatives to established brands.

The reported pricing of EUR 159 for the Nothing Headphone (a) suggests that some compromises may have been made compared to more premium models. For context, the Nothing Headphone 1 launched at EUR 299 globally and arrived in India in July 2025 with a price tag of Rs. 21,990. The reduced pricing positions the Nothing Headphone (a) as a more affordable option.

Specifications for the Nothing Headphone (a) are not yet confirmed, but it’s likely that some features will be compromised or omitted altogether to hit the lower price point. The company may have made design compromises or chosen materials that are less expensive than those used in the Headphone 1. However, with its focus on innovation and style, Nothing is well-positioned to continue making waves in the consumer electronics market.

The launch of the Nothing Headphone (a) is expected to be a significant event for the company, and it will be interesting to see how it balances affordability with quality and performance. As Nothing continues to expand its product range, it’s essential to monitor its pricing strategy and how it affects customer perceptions of the brand.

Nothing has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation and style in its products, and the upcoming launch of the Headphone (a) is no exception. With its focus on affordability and expansion into new product categories, the company seems poised for continued growth and success in the consumer electronics market.
