A current Amazon promotion pairs the Nothing Headphone A with the CD edition of Charli XCX’s Music, Fashion, Film, cutting 33 percent off the bundle. The total comes to $97.52, below the headphones’ usual $199 price, though other colors cost more. The Verge previously praised the Headphone A for its physical controls, IP52 rating, and long battery life.

Expanded Detail

Amazon’s promotion requires adding the black or white Nothing Headphone A and the CD edition of Charli XCX’s Music, Fashion, Film to the same cart. The 33 percent reduction brings the bundle to $97.52, compared with the headphones’ $199 list price. Other color options are eligible but begin at higher prices, so their bundled totals rise accordingly.

The Headphone A are Nothing’s second over-ear model. Unlike the costlier Nothing Headphone 1, they omit some features, yet offer tactile buttons, solid audio, and more than five days of use per charge. Their solid casing is less flashy than Nothing’s see-through designs. A 2026 review also noted their IP52 dust and water resistance.

Context

This bundle may appeal to music fans and bargain hunters, potentially lowering the cost of entering Nothing’s audio ecosystem. It could also nudge some shoppers toward buying a physical CD alongside hardware, benefiting artists and retailers if similar promotions spread. Amazon and Nothing may gain attention from the overlap between gadget buyers and Charli XCX listeners. The broader effect is likely modest, mostly affecting niche audiences rather than reshaping how most people buy headphones or music.
