Nothing has opened Malaysian pre-orders for the Headphone (1) Pro at RM1,499, with orders available from 6 October 2026 through Nothing’s online and retail channels. The company says local open sales will begin later this month, although an exact date has not yet been announced.
The Malaysian release turns the earlier global announcement into a concrete buying option for local listeners. As covered in our initial Headphone (1) Pro launch report, this is Nothing’s most ambitious pair of over-ear headphones yet, built around a three-driver system rather than a single full-range driver in each earcup.
Three drivers split the work
The Headphone (1) Pro uses a 40mm dynamic driver for bass, a separate 13 × 8mm dynamic driver for vocals and an xMEMS solid-state driver for high frequencies. The idea is to let each driver focus on a narrower portion of the sound, giving Nothing more control over bass weight, vocal texture and treble detail.
Nothing developed the tuning with Metropolis Studios. A physical Flat EQ Switch provides quick access to a more neutral sound profile, while the Studio B mode uses Dynamic Spatial Audio to recreate the acoustic character of a professional mixing room.
Listeners can make further changes through the Nothing X app. Its Advanced EQ provides deeper control across the frequency range and individual drivers, while Personal Sound creates an EQ profile based on how each user hears. The app also includes presets and customisable controls.
Up to 68 hours without ANC
Nothing rates battery life at up to 68 hours with active noise cancellation switched off. That is a manufacturer figure, so actual endurance will depend on volume, connection and feature use. Fast charging is supported, but the Malaysian announcement does not state the charging time or playback gained from a short charge.
The transparent industrial design combines aluminium, titanium and 9H-rated Panda glass, which Nothing describes as resistant to shattering and scratches. Weight is listed at 327g, with redesigned ear cushions and a wider padded headband intended to improve comfort during longer listening sessions.
Malaysia price and where to pre-order
Nothing Headphone (1) Pro is priced at RM1,499 in Malaysia. Pre-orders are available through nothing.tech, Nothing Image Store, TMT, Urban Republic, other authorised retailers, Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop.
Nothing has not announced an exact open-sale date, pre-order gift or stock allocation, so buyers should confirm the final terms with their chosen retailer before ordering. The company has also replenished Malaysian stocks of the Ear (3a), Ear (3), Headphone (a) and Headphone (1), giving buyers more options across its current audio range.
