What Buyers Say
Nothing Headphone (1) B170
85 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
Users are overwhelmingly positive about the Nothing Ear (stick) headphones, praising their unique retro cassette design, comfortable fit, and excellent physical button controls. Sound quality is generally rated highly, with some noting adjustable bass via the app, though a few found the out-of-box sound a bit bright. The carrying case's felt material collects lint and a Turkish user felt the price was too high for the sound quality.
Pros

- Comfortable fit with adjustable band
- Intuitive physical button controls
- Excellent sound quality
- Good noise cancellation
Cons
- Sound can be bass-heavy or bright out of box
