Rumors suggest Nothing is developing a "Headphone 1 Pro" model, launching as soon as September 29, 2026. The device could feature a more premium aesthetic with aluminum and glass, a $399 price tag, 60 hours of battery life, improved ANC, and a triple audio driver setup. White and black colorways are expected.

The Pro tag may bring improved bass, sharper audio precision, and improved treble. Whispers allege real-time "adaptive" ANC that could outshine the original's. Battery life is another highlight, though it's unclear if the 60 hours is with ANC active. The original model ran for 35 hours with ANC on and 80 hours with it off.

The original Headphone 1 launched at $299 in the U.S. and was arguably one of the best audio products of 2025. It featured real, physical buttons, rollers, and paddles, plus aluminum accents. The Pro version could take that up a bit, with more glass too. Android Central's Harish Jonnalagadda praised the custom 40mm driver with sound tuned by KEF as "amazing."

Nothing's first over-ear headphones made a splash. Now, rumors suggest the company wants to make even more noise with a "Pro" model. There's nothing official yet.
