What do critics say about the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro?
WIRED90
After about a month, the reviewer finds outstanding sound, comfort and customisable EQ that rival Sony and Bose.
CNET86
A real premium contender with rich sound, good ANC and comfort, though the impractical case, weight and price dampen enthusiasm.
TechRadar80
Sonically talented, neutral-leaning headphones with strong features and ANC, held back by a heavy case, middling stamina and a cheaper sibling that does much the same.
Tom's Guide80
Their best headphones yet: distinctive looks, comfort, warm wide sound and big battery.
