  "account": "Nothing's newest and most expensive headphones, the Headphones (1) Pro, have just been released, and our comprehensive review verdict is in. Designed to replace both on-the-go headphones and high-end music listening or production headphones, the Headphones (1) Pro boast an impressive array of features.\n\nFeaturing three tuned drivers and ten ANC microphones, these headphones deliver hi-res wired and wireless audio through LDAC, with USB-C supporting lossless audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. Priced at $399 / £349 (approximately AU$657), they're available in black or white starting today, September 29th.\n\nBecky Scarrott gave the headphones a glowing review, praising their excellent sound quality, superior active noise cancellation (ANC), advanced spatial audio, and a particularly robust transparency mode. However, they come with a hefty price tag and a somewhat bulky, heavy design.\n\nA standout feature is Nothing's unique triple-driver setup, which includes a dynamic bass driver, a mid-range dynamic driver, and an xMEMS driver for high frequencies. These drivers, tuned by the experts at Metropolis Studios, can be adjusted via a dedicated Flat EQ switch for a neutral sound profile, perfect for music production.\n\nThe headphones also boast a sophisticated transparency mode, enhanced by 10 microphones, and a redesigned ear cushion for a stronger seal. The headband is wider with improved padding for superior long-term comfort, and the cups are finished in scratch-resistant 9H Panda Glass.",
