What Buyers Say
Nothing Headphone (a) B186
88 out of 100 medium confidence 12 reviews
Users are overwhelmingly positive about these Nothing headphones, praising the exceptional battery life, comfortable fit, and intuitive controls like the scroll wheel. The sound quality is generally considered great for the price, though one audiophile friend rated it 5/10 and some note the noise cancellation isn't the strongest. The app's customization options and sleek design are also highlights, with minor complaints about glossy plastic showing smudges and snugness over long periods.
