New Earphones from Nothing Provide Battery Life of One Week
Nothing’s new Headphone (a) claims to offer five days of battery life for a price of $199.
Essential information
- Nothing introduces the Headphone (a), boasting up to 135 hours of playback with ANC disabled—approximately five days of uninterrupted listening on a single charge.
- Rapid charging enhances ease of use, as a five-minute charge can provide around five hours of playback.
- Prices start at $199 (£149 / €159), with pre-orders starting March 5 and general availability beginning March 13.

The firm has just revealed the Headphone (a), which merges Nothing’s distinctive design with impressive battery longevity and some intelligent controls for everyday usage.
If you’ve encountered a Nothing product previously, you’re familiar with the aesthetic: industrial design with a playful flair. The Headphone (a) retains this style but introduces a more vibrant character.
Available in four colors: pink, yellow, white, and black. They weigh 310g and come with breathable memory foam ear cushions for prolonged comfort during listening sessions.
They hold an IP52 rating, ensuring protection against dust and light splashes. This means that sweaty workouts or a little rain won’t pose any problems.
Five days of battery life (indeed)
The standout feature is the battery life. Nothing claims that the Headphone (a) can endure up to 135 hours with ANC switched off, which equates to about five days of continuous listening on

Industry Group Supports Apple by Voicing Worries to Pentagon About Anthropic Prohibition
The Information Technology Industry Council, which comprises prominent tech firms such as Apple, has voiced apprehensions about the Pentagon’s recent categorization of Anthropic as a “supply chain risk.” This classification, revealed by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, signifies a notable change in the treatment of domestic companies concerning national security.
In a message on X, Hegseth remarked that he had instructed the Pentagon to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk due to a procurement disagreement related to a $200 million contract. This contract contained terms that Anthropic declined to accept, especially those involving the utilization of its technology for domestic surveillance and autonomous weaponry. Consequently, no contractor or partner collaborating with the US military is permitted to engage in commercial dealings with Anthropic.
This unprecedented action has triggered a ripple effect across the tech sector, instilling trepidation among firms that they might be next if they fail to adhere to governmental mandates. Since the outset of President Trump’s second term, tech executives have approached their interactions with the administration cautiously, often fearing repercussions in the form of tariffs and regulatory threats.
In reaction to the Pentagon’s measures, the Information Technology Industry Council dispatched a letter to Hegseth articulating their worries regarding the ramifications of such a classification. While the letter did not specifically mention Anthropic, it concentrated on the possible fallout of designating a domestic enterprise as a supply chain risk. The council cautioned that this could jeopardize the government’s access to premium products and services from American companies.
Jason Oxman, the council’s CEO, underscored that designations like the Supply-Chain Risk to National Security should be reserved for true emergencies and typically pertain to foreign adversaries. He contended that disputes of this kind ought to be settled through conventional procurement mechanisms or by choosing alternative providers.
The Department of Defense has indicated that it will address the concerns articulated in the letter directly. This scenario underscores the escalating friction between the tech industry and government regulations, as companies maneuver through the intricacies of compliance and national security.
