Nothing has announced BTS member V as its new Global Brand Ambassador, alongside the launch of its latest audio product, the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro.
The new campaign, shot in Seoul by Dorothea Sing Zhang, puts V’s creative experimentation and Nothing’s design-focused approach at the center. The partnership follows Charli xcx joining Nothing as a Global Brand Ambassador and shareholder earlier in 2026, while the company also recently launched Club Nothing (R), a music fund supporting emerging nightlife curators.
“I’m excited to be part of this bold new chapter with Nothing,” V said. “Headphone (1) Pro is a design grounded in creative expression, and I look forward to our journey together.”
A triple-driver setup for creators and audio enthusiasts
Positioned as Nothing’s most advanced audio product to date, the Headphone (1) Pro features a triple-driver architecture consisting of a 40mm bass dynamic driver, precision dynamic driver, and treble xMEMS driver.
It supports an ultra-wide 20Hz–40kHz frequency response and was tuned in partnership with Metropolis Studios.
The headphones include a dedicated Flat EQ designed to deliver a neutral sound profile for producers and creators. There is also a Studio B Dynamic Spatial Audio mode that recreates the acoustic character of one of Metropolis Studios’ flagship rooms, along with five custom EQ profiles inspired by British music.
Nothing says the Headphone (1) Pro is designed to bridge studio and everyday listening, giving users flexibility whether they are creating content or simply listening to music.
Improved ANC and transparent design
The Headphone (1) Pro features Nothing’s most advanced real-time Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation, powered by a 10-mic system designed to better filter surrounding noise, including wind and traffic.
The redesigned ear cushions feature an 8mm silicone baffle wall to improve the seal and noise isolation.
As expected from Nothing, design remains a major part of the product. The triple-driver architecture can be seen through 9H Panda glass on the ear cups, while aluminum and titanium are used for the overall construction.
The redesigned internal architecture also replaces steel arms with titanium, helping bring the weight down to 327g. A wider, more heavily padded headband and softer ear cushions are designed to improve comfort during longer listening sessions.
Battery life is rated at up to 68 hours with ANC turned off, with fast charging and an IP52 rating.

The Nothing Headphone (1) Pro is priced at ₱25,490 in the Philippines.

With V now representing the brand globally, Nothing is continuing to position its audio lineup at the intersection of design, technology, music, and contemporary culture.
Thoughts
The Headphone (1) Pro looks like a significant step up for Nothing, especially with the upgrades audiophiles may be looking for, from its triple-driver setup and xMEMS treble driver to Metropolis Studios tuning, Flat EQ, and customizable sound profiles. I haven’t tried the headphones myself yet, but based on the features and specifications, its audio performance looks promising, particularly for listeners who want a more detailed and customizable listening experience.
