Nothing Headphone (a) appears to be on the way to market soon. Ahead of the company's next launch event which is scheduled to take place in a few days, the wireless headphones have been spotted on the database of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), a regulatory body in Singapore. The listing suggests the official moniker and model number of the device. The Nothing Headphone (a) could be a more affordable version of the Nothing Headphone 1, which was launched in India in July last year with active noise cancellation (ANC) support and 40mm dynamic drivers.
The upcoming Nothing Headphone (a) is now listed (via Xpertpick.com) on Singapore's IMDA certification site under the model number B186, suggesting that the global launch is imminent. The entry doesn't reveal any specifications of the device, but it is listed as a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones, indicating a global launch is likely around the corner.
It is worth noting that Nothing has yet to make an official announcement regarding the launch of the Nothing Headphones (a), but the company is all set to host a launch event on March 5 to announce the Phone 4a series. We can expect details about the new headphones to be revealed at the same launch event.
Previous leaks claimed that Nothing Headphones (a) would be launched in Europe and other global markets on March 12. It is likely to be released in black, pink, white and yellow colours.
Nothing Headphone (a) is tipped to cost EUR 159 (roughly Rs. 17,300) in Europe and GBP 149 (roughly Rs. 18,700) in the UK.
For comparison, the company introduced the Nothing Headphone 1 with a price tag of EUR 299 (roughly Rs. 32,500). In India, it was announced for Rs. 21,990 in July last year. It features 40mm dynamic drivers and supports up to 42dB ANC.
