Riding high on huge global hype, Nothing‘s premium flagship headphones have officially touched down in the Philippines.

Fresh off the announcement of BTS member V as its global brand ambassador, the London-based technology brand has dropped the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro locally through distributor Digital Walker. Priced at ₱25,490 (around $405), the premium cans are already up for preorder. Early birds will score a free Nothing reversible tote bag, with unit claiming scheduled to begin on Nov. 9.

Preorder details

Visually, the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro retains the base model’s distinctive retro-rectangular aesthetic, but with clear premium upgrades. The transparent ear cups now feature shatter- and scratch-resistant glass, while a new titanium and aluminum frame makes for a significantly lighter build.

We tested both models back-to-back, and the Pro is immediately the more comfortable option. That’s a welcome upgrade for audiophiles who found the original Headphone (1) a bit fatiguing during extended listening sessions.

Nothing also bumped up the active noise cancellation by up to 40%, powered by a new 10-microphone hybrid system. The 46dB ANC kicks in instantly — putting you in an airplane-cabin-level quiet zone the moment you flip it on. All microphones are now optimally positioned inward on the ear cups, drastically cutting down on wind and airflow interference.

Beyond the robust drivers, the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro introduces five dynamic spatial audio modes tuned for different music genres. Fans of tactile controls will also be glad to know the excellent on-ear physical buttons and dials remain intact from the previous generation.

Today’s consumer tech is about more than just incremental spec bumps; it’s about how devices seamlessly integrate into our personal style. Nothing’s collaboration with BTS’ V perfectly highlights this exciting intersection of pop culture and technology. By teaming up with global icons, tech brands are elevating premium devices from everyday tools into genuine fashion statements that fans can proudly wear and experience.
