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.

What you’re getting

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.

Why it’s worth it

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.

The bottom line

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.

Bloomberg reports that preorders open July 16, with shipping scheduled to begin in October. The ring can collect readings during the day and overnight, then display the results through an iOS or Android app.

HTC’s VIVE Eagle smart glasses could finally be heading to the US. Apparently, Amazon got the memo before HTC was ready to share it.

Notebookcheck spotted six versions available for preorder at $499, each carrying a September 1 release date. Amazon has since pulled the pages, so new orders are closed and anyone who already placed one is left wondering whether it still counts.

Don’t expect smartwatches and fitness bands with replaceable batteries anytime soon
Turns out even the EU thinks your smartwatch is too small for a battery swap.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The EU has a habit of pushing tech companies to adopt meaningful changes in their product. It's the reason your iPhone finally has a USB-C port, and it's also why companies now have to offer spare parts and repair support for electronics for several years after launch. So naturally, many of us assumed wearables were next in line for mandatory swappable batteries. Turns out, the EU just went the other way.

So what did the EU announce?
