Music and technology continue to influence how people express themselves, and London-based tech brand Nothing is bringing the two worlds together with its latest global campaign. Following its spring collaboration with Charli xcx, Nothing has officially named BTS member and solo artist V as its new Global Brand Ambassador. Launched on September 29, 2026, the partnership comes alongside the introduction of the Headphone (1) Pro, Nothing’s most advanced over-ear audio offering to date.
Shot in Seoul by photographer Dorothea Sing Zhang, the campaign focuses on authentic expression and creative individuality, reflecting V’s work across different musical styles while highlighting Nothing’s approach to design and engineering. The partnership positions the Headphone (1) Pro not only as an audio device but also as part of a lifestyle centered around music, creativity, and personal expression.
At the center of the Headphone (1) Pro is a triple-driver acoustic system designed to bring together the convenience of everyday headphones with the precision expected from professional monitoring equipment. Developed and tuned with audio engineers at London’s Metropolis Studios, the system combines a 40mm bass dynamic driver, a precision dynamic driver, and a treble xMEMS driver. Together, the three drivers support a frequency response range of 20Hz to 40kHz.
For music creators and listeners who prefer a more neutral sound profile, the headphones feature a dedicated Flat EQ Switch that provides an uncolored acoustic profile. The Headphone (1) Pro also introduces a custom Studio B spatial audio mode designed to replicate the acoustic response of Metropolis Studios’ flagship mixing space, giving users another way to experience their music.
While the headphones are built with audio enthusiasts and creators in mind, Nothing has also designed them for everyday urban use. An adaptive active noise cancellation system powered by a 10-microphone array continuously works to reduce surrounding sounds, including outside chatter, wind, and city traffic. An 8mm silicone baffle wall built into the ear cushions further helps isolate external noise.
Despite its audio hardware, the Headphone (1) Pro weighs 327 grams. Its structural components use lightweight titanium arms instead of traditional steel, while a wider padded headband and soft memory foam cushions are designed to distribute weight more comfortably during extended listening sessions. The headphones offer up to 68 hours of battery life with noise cancellation turned off.
Nothing’s transparent design language also remains central to the Headphone (1) Pro. The outer ear cups feature shatter-resistant 9H Panda glass panels, offering subtle views of the internal triple-driver system. Brushed aluminum and titanium accents complete the design, while an IP52 rating provides dust and water resistance for everyday use.
The Nothing Headphone (1) Pro is priced at PHP 25,490. Pre-orders began on October 1, 2026, through Digital Walker, open_source by Beyond the Box, Nothing PH Shopee Mall, the Digital Walker Website, and Digital Walker Shopee Mall. It will also become available at a later date through select Beyond the Box retail stores, Nothing PH Lazada Mall, Digital Walker Lazada Mall, and Digital Walker TikTok Shop.
By bringing BTS V into its global campaign alongside a headphone designed around both studio-inspired performance and everyday listening, Nothing continues to explore the connection between sound, design, technology, and contemporary culture.
