Get This Deal

For just $79.99, down from its list price of $99, these earbuds bring active noise cancellation, dual-device connections and adjustable sound into the cheaper pick of this pair. The practical draw is switching between two devices while keeping bass, treble and vocals adjustable through the Nothing X app.

• Up to 45 dB of active noise cancellation, with Transparency Mode for hearing your surroundings without removing the earbuds.
• 12 mm drivers and Hi-Res Audio support, plus an advanced 8-band EQ in the Nothing X app.
• Bluetooth 6.0 and dual-device connections, with support for iOS and Android.
• Audio Snapshot records up to one minute of media, while call and meeting recording supports up to two hours.
• Call recording is available only in supported countries and regions due to local regulations.

Choose this pair if your work and listening move between devices and you want earbuds with sound controls. Recording adds another use for calls and meetings, but the regional restriction matters if that feature is central to your purchase. The black version keeps Nothing's transparent design.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphone (Black)

$80.63 (was $129) - Save $48.37 (37% off)

Get This Price

For just $80.63, down from its list price of $129, the HD 280 Pro offers a wired, closed-ear design with padded earcups and replaceable wear parts. Its appeal is straightforward: an around-ear fit, outside-sound attenuation and components you can replace as they wear.

• Dynamic, closed-ear headphones with up to 32 dB attenuation of outside sound.
• Wired connectivity with a coiled audio cord.
• Around-ear design with padded earcups and a lightweight, ergonomic construction.
• Replaceable earpads, headband padding and audio cord.
• Extended frequency response and warm, natural sound reproduction, according to the supplied product description.

This is the pick for listeners who prefer a wired connection and earcups over earbuds. Replaceable padding and cable also give it a practical maintenance advantage: those parts can be changed individually. The 32 dB figure describes outside-sound attenuation; Nothing's 45 dB specification describes active noise cancellation.

Quick Highlights

• Nothing Ear Noise Cancelling Earbuds (Black): Dual-device connections suit listening across two devices.
• Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Headphone (Black): Replaceable padding and cord support long-term upkeep.

Why These Deals Matter

Nothing's $79.99 price sits $7.70 below its $87.69 30-day average and $0.99 above its recorded $79 low. Sennheiser's $80.63 price is $6.53 below its $87.16 30-day average and $5.73 below its $86.36 90-day average. That recent pricing makes the Sennheiser saving more modest than the 37% list-price discount suggests, while still putting both picks below their recent averages.

Final Verdict

Choose Nothing for wireless listening, dual-device switching and adjustable sound, or Sennheiser for a wired over-ear setup with replaceable parts. Use the deal button above for the pair that fits your listening routine.
