You know what would go great with that cheaper-than-ever Nothing Phone (3) you absolutely must buy before Amazon's $300 discount goes away? That's right, the Nothing Headphone (a) at a record low price of their own.

Of course, Nothing's latest over-ear headphones should work flawlessly with any Android handset or iPhone ever released, thus rivaling everything from Apple's arguably overpriced AirPods Max 2 to Sony's universally beloved WH-1000XM6. As the "a" branding suggests, these cannot make our list of the top high-end Bluetooth wireless headphones options on the market today, lacking a few cutting-edge technologies and not exactly playing in the same league as the two aforementioned state-of-the-art products in terms of audio performance.

The Beats Studio Pro are another excellent budget-friendly over-ear headphones option for both Android and iPhone users at this latest hefty discount.

$90 off (45%)

Released earlier this year at a reasonable $199 list price, the over-ear Nothing Headphone (a) are incredibly marked down by $90 in one color option and $80 in three other paint jobs with active noise cancellation, an unconventional transparent design, Spatial Audio technology, and absolutely breathtaking battery endurance numbers.

But the Nothing Headphone (a) incredibly manage to run circles around the Sony WH-1000XM6 and second-gen Apple AirPods Max as far as battery life is concerned, promising to keep your favorite tunes going for up to 135 hours (!!!) between charges. That's without active noise cancellation, but even if you keep that feature enabled at all times (which you probably should if you like to fully immerse yourself into your music), the number only goes down to around 75 hours.

And if that number doesn't impress you much (which it absolutely should when you consider that the AirPods Max 2 can barely deliver 20 hours of uninterrupted listening time), I have another figure guaranteed to make you lose your mind. $199.

That's the regular price of the March 2026-released Nothing Headphone (a), which can be reduced by $90 in a black colorway right now and by 80 bucks in pink, white, and yellow hues. These are totally unprecedented Amazon discounts for this particular product, which is why you shouldn't be surprised to hear that they're set to expire at the end of the day.

In case you're wondering, our in-depth Nothing Headphone (a) review a few months back found the... unconventional-looking cans surprisingly competent at isolating users from their surroundings while also praising the epic battery life (duh!) and extensive sound customization options and criticizing the not-very-refined transparency mode, not-great carry pouch, and a few little software details that could prove to be absolute dealbreakers... at an entirely different price point.

As things stand, this is a total must-buy for Nothing fans on tight budgets and affordable headphones users in general who aren't afraid of trying something new and imaginative with seemingly endless battery endurance.
