Time’s Running Out to Bag the Nothing Headphone (1) for a Record-Low Price of $254

These headphones look and sound great, and that extends to the price if you act soon.

If you’ve ever shopped for high-end noise-canceling headphones, you’ll know just how expensive some of them can be. Choosing brands like Apple, Sony or Beats is a great way to watch the dollar figure rise surprisingly quickly, but it doesn’t always have to be that way. This pair of Nothing Headphones (1) offers all of the must-have features of a premium pair of headphones at a price that we’ve yet to see beaten.

Amazon’s current deal slashes these headphones down to a new low of $254, but you’ll need to be quick. This is a limited-time deal, and there appears to be a limited number of headphones available at this price to boot.

Nothing equipped these headphones with intelligent ANC, a setting that uses the Headphone (1)’s internal mics to adjust your sound depending on the situation. You can also use Transparent mode for situations that require you to be more alert to your surroundings. ANC is also customizable and requires a few clicks of the headphone’s buttons. These headphones also have processors that deliver clear bass and treble for crisp, immersive sound.

The battery life on these headphones lasts up to 80 hours. This is great news for travelers who don’t want to fight for an electric plug to recharge their gear on the go. The earcups on the Nothing Headphone (1) are made for comfort so you can use them for long periods.

If you enjoy new technology, you can connect the Nothing Headphone (1) to the Nothing X app and use ChatGPT to explore new music, podcasts and audiobooks.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

A representative for Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
