Nothing Headphone 1 review: attention-seeking design for your head

Bluetooth noise cancellers have good sound, physical buttons and buck trend of boring black cans with distinctive transparent aesthetic

London-based Nothing's latest gadget is a set of over-ear headphones that throws out the dull design norms of noise-cancelling cans for an attention-attracting look that is a cross between a 1980s Walkman and Doctor Who's Cybermen.

The large, semi-transparent cans are certainly a statement piece on your head, with an outer design covered in details, dot-matrix print and physical buttons, but sadly stopping short of the flashing LEDs of the company's phones.
