Early reviews praise studio-leaning sound and design; ANC still trails Sony and Bose. Available now on Nothing’s Canadian store.

Nothing’s Headphone (1) Pro has landed in Canada as a CA$589.99 flagship over-ear set that leans harder on sound than on flashy noise-cancelling claims, according to early hands-on reviews and the company’s Canadian store listing.
Canadian Reviews and Gizmodo both highlight a triple-driver design — a 40 mm bass driver, a dedicated midrange unit and an xMEMS treble driver — plus a physical Flat EQ switch tuned with London’s Metropolis Studios that strips processing for mixing work. Reviewers praise clarity and stereo separation; Gizmodo calls the sound “S-tier,” while noting active noise cancellation still trails Sony’s WH-1000XM6 and Bose’s Ultra Headphones Gen 2 on busy streets and subway rides. Battery life is listed at up to about 30 hours with ANC on and about 68 hours with it off, with LDAC, Auracast and USB-C lossless up to 24-bit/192 kHz among the extras.
On Nothing’s Canadian product page, the Headphone (1) Pro is priced at CA$589.99 in white or black, with IP52 dust and water resistance, softer dual-layer cushions and the brand’s tactile roller/paddle controls. Canadian Reviewer separately flagged the same CA$589.99 launch price and said the set is available to buy now through Nothing’s site. Shoppers should weigh the strong audio and design against average ANC if isolation is the top priority.
