Nothings new flagship headphones are for listening and taking to the studio

Nothing released its flagship audio product, the Nothing Headphone (1) Pro, on September 28, less than a year after its debut. This is the second over-ear headphone release from the brand this year, following the budget-friendly Nothing Headphone (a) introduced in March. The Nothing Headphone (1) Pro retails for $399, $100 more than the cost of the initial release.

It features a triple driver architecture with bass, precision, and xMEMS drivers, along with active noise cancellation powered by 10 microphones. These improvements are said to offer enhanced sound quality and noise reduction. The headphones weigh less and have softer ear cushions than the previous model, resulting in improved comfort for extended wear.

The Nothing Headphone (1) Pro also offers a range of customization options, including a custom equalizer, five dynamic spatial audio modes, and a Flat EQ mode for faithful audio reproduction. These features make the headphones suitable for audio editing and production tasks. The headphones will be available for purchase at Nothing's website, Amazon, and Best Buy starting September 29 at a price of $399.

Moving off EventON: its timestamps aren't what they look like

EventON is a popular WordPress events calendar, sold on CodeCanyon, with a free Lite version on wordpress.org. If you're moving off it, or just exporting your events, there's one thing to understand…
