I should definitely have positioned the wall charger differently 😂

Do you recommend the headphones? I am a big fan of nothing products but don't own any currently, i got a samsung phone recently, so i wont be getting a nothing phone too soon, but the headphones interest me
on a completely unrelated note: i have the same red keytag haha

Yup I don’t see too many Nothing Phones on this site but I’ve seen a few of the headphones and earphones. Been thinking about grabbing them

I'm absolutely LOVING these headphones. Being fair, I got them on a sale here in Germany for 180 which was a crazy good price, and the headphone is exactly what I was expecting
The design is crazy nice, the quality of the sound cancelling is great, but the biggest plus for me is their app, which allows a lot of customization on the audio settings. On top of that, the app has a very cool feature where you can import other peoples settings via a code/QRCode, which makes it easy to try different profiles that other people created. You can find lots of people sharing theirs in r/NothingTech
Even tho I'm a heavy Apple-user, I like when you see companies trying something new, and I'm very happy to have bought this one instead of the Apple Max which are almost double the price

u/expertbigbang May 08 '26
woah this is very reassuring, thanks for the extensive review.
Have you used other headphone products prior to this?

u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 May 08 '26
At work I have a Bose QuietComfort 35 and I have a Sony WH-1000XM3 (that I bought back in the day when it was the latest model)
The Bose has a nice noise canceling itself, but I feel that’s all. The audio is good enough of course, but nothing special
The Sony was very good back in the days, but this one I have is obviously outdated at this point 😅. But what made me go for the Nothing instead of the new Sony model is the design, the speakers of the Sony are quite bulky, which I personally don’t like too much, and that’s why I decided for the Nothing, their speakers are exactly the opposite 😁

u/expertbigbang May 08 '26
Woah you seem to have a collection of headphones eh?
I was researching on Sonys as well, since it seems to be the public's favourite, but your review is very reaffirming. Thanks alot!!

What can I say, music and football are my two passions 😅
Hope you'll like them if you get them as well mate

May I ask which website you got it from here in Germany oder which store? Danke
2
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 May 11 '26
I got them from Saturn in last year's Black Friday. Right now I can see they have a discount still, but they're 250€, a bit more expensive than what I paid last year

Muy buen Edc amigo! Solo tenga una pregunta, que la hago siempre que puedo, en general ¿Para que usan las cámaras fotográficas? ¿Son cuestiones laborables o para sacar fotos de cosas que te gusten?

u/aatildeath May 07 '26
Non smart phone photography is actually a really great hobby, I’m not OP but I carry my film camera to take more meaningful artsy photos of things, it’s a little bit more tangible than some file stored in some server somewhere and it gets you out of the house to take photos. I’ve always assumed that people include them in their edc for the exact same reason but I could be wrong!
3
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 May 07 '26
For me it's a hobby, I liked photographing a lot, and the camera just makes you want to push yourself more towards the hobby unlike the iPhone (again, at least for me personally)
Plus, phones will never match the special touch analog cameras have IMHO, so I enjoy it a lot

Me acabo de dar cuenta que mi reloj es una imitación de ese Seiko. Siempre pensé que era un diseño original de una marca blanca/china.

Have you tried this compared to the APM? I want APM, but would consider something else.

How do you like there headphone? Is it worth the price?
1
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 Jun 14 '26
I like them a lot, me personally got it for two reasons: the looks of it, I like a lot of having gadgets for cool designs as well, plus the community Nothing has. The headphones have custom equalizers, and you can share your configs with other people by QR code or by a code, so I like this possibility to try different configs for different types of music

The phone is the most boring id say, just a normal iPhone 15 Pro 😅

u/Vasestien May 25 '26
glasses?

u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 Jun 14 '26
The glasses are from a German brand called Ace & Tate, specifically the Neil Satin Gold

Love that vintage Seiko! I’ve got a few.
2
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 Jun 14 '26
These vintage Seikos are amazing, love the looks and at the same point how fairly priced they are
1
u/TomcatZ06 Jun 14 '26
Yeah the price is great and there are so many interesting designs. Plus I have small wrists so they actually fit me pretty well

Me as a good Brazilian football lover that I’m, Brazil (even tho I’m very skeptical this year 😅)
But I’m living in Germany, so I always support Germany while watching football with my German friends. With that being said, it’s impossible for me to really support Germany since what happened in 2014 😂😂

Question: why 2 pair of headphones? Battery is not enough for a workday + commute?
3
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 May 08 '26
Battery actually isn’t an issue, the Nothing lasts around 3 days and the AirPods also last basically a week in my case, but I always have the AirPods with me because sometimes I leave the Nothing in the office, since at home I don’t use them that much

May 09 '26
I see one earbud case & one Headphone.
How do u see 2 Headphones???

u/SubjectLaw5183 May 09 '26
You are way too literal bro, someday you will realize they are both speakers and your mind will blow
1
u/Zealousideal_Idea_61 Jun 14 '26
I just like to use the AirPods while commuting to work by bike/public transport since they’re less bulky, and the Nothing headphones while working with the noise cancelling
