Over-ear headphones have basically split into two camps: ultra-premium pairs that cost a fortune, and budget models that cut corners where you’ll notice it most (comfort, noise canceling, or battery). The Nothing Headphone (1) lands in the middle in a way that makes sense, especially with today’s price drop. It’s $239.00 for a limited time, down from $299.00 (20% off). If you want an everyday pair for commuting, work focus, and travel without paying top-shelf pricing, this deal is worth a look.
These are wireless over-ear headphones with hybrid active noise canceling, six microphones, and a claimed 80 hours of playtime. That battery figure is the headline because it changes how you use them. You can treat them like a daily staple instead of something you’re constantly charging.
You’re also getting Hi-Res audio, KEF-tuned sound, and spatial sound support. Those aren’t just spec-sheet flexes. The tuning matters for how balanced the headphones feel across genres, while spatial features are there for people who like a wider, more “around you” presentation in supported content.
This deal makes the most sense for people who wear headphones for long stretches. The combination of ANC and comfort fit is what determines whether over-ears become your default or end up in a drawer. Six mics is also a good sign for call quality, which matters if you’re taking meetings, chatting in Discord, or making quick calls on the go.
The other practical win is fast charging. You don’t need perfect habits when a quick top-up can rescue you before a commute or a flight.
At $239 for a limited time, the Nothing Headphone (1) is a smart pick if you want modern features (ANC, long battery life, solid mics, and audio tuning) in a comfortable daily-wear package. If you only need occasional listening, cheaper options will do. But if you live in headphones for work, travel, and downtime, this discount is a good reason to jump in.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
