Nothing Headphone (1) Pro adds three drivers and a physical Flat EQ switch. Its battery and latency claims depend on specific test conditions. South African buyers should separate music features from the microphone and connection needs of PC gaming.
A long battery claim can make Nothing Headphone (1) Pro look like an easy choice for a desk, commute and evening game. Those are three different audio jobs, though. Before committing to a premium pair, decide which connection you will actually use and whether voice chat matters as much as music. The most impressive number on the box may not describe your PC setup.
Nothing lists a USD399 price, three drivers and a physical Flat EQ switch, but that is not a South African retail quote. For local gaming context, Evetech listed the Logitech G PRO X wired headset at R2,149 in stock on 29 September 2026. Compare the headphone's music features against your need for a working microphone and a suitable PC connection before choosing between them.
The new model supports Bluetooth and wired USB-C audio. Nothing also describes lossless USB-C playback, which gives a music listener a different route from wireless listening. That does not settle every practical question about a Windows desk: the application, selected input and microphone behaviour still need to match your intended use.
Write a short list of your actual devices. A phone and a home PC can demand different controls and connections, even if both can play music through the same headphones. If you regularly join a game while speaking to friends, look for evidence of that exact arrangement rather than assuming a music demonstration proves the voice-chat experience.
The Bluetooth headset range is useful for comparing wireless options by purpose. Do not treat Bluetooth support by itself as proof of low latency on every source device. Nothing's particular latency claim uses its own phone with Game Mode enabled, so it cannot be transferred directly to an unrelated Windows laptop.
The headline battery figure is up to 68 hours with active noise cancellation switched off. Nothing describes a test using AAC and 50 percent volume. Changing the listening mode changes the conditions, so a buyer who wants cancellation throughout a workday should not plan around the largest figure alone.
This matters most when you cannot conveniently charge between sessions. Consider where the cable will reach, whether wired listening suits your desk, and how often you move between rooms. Those ordinary details can affect satisfaction more than the difference between two impressive battery claims.
Comfort deserves its own trial too. A headband that feels fine for a short demonstration may feel different after a long session with glasses. If you are choosing remotely, read the local seller's actual return and support terms before paying. A manufacturer marketing page cannot establish the terms attached to an unrelated South African purchase.
Flat EQ is a listening profile developed with Metropolis Studios, selected through a physical switch. It may interest someone who wants to move between a neutral presentation and a preferred personal sound. It is not evidence that the microphone becomes clearer or that the headset will make every game easier to play.
The local Logitech reference serves another purpose: it shows what a wired gaming setup with a boom microphone and USB sound card can cost today. Its R2,149 price is a dated comparison, not a claim that it matches the Nothing model's sound or cancellation. Decide which features would actually earn their place in your budget.
Explore gaming headsets if team communication is the main job. Keep your existing pair until a specific limitation is clear: poor fit, a broken connection or missing functionality is a better purchase reason than a new launch alone.
It identifies the international price tier, but it does not include a verified local selling price or delivery arrangement. Wait for a real South African offer before setting a final budget.
Only if the new headphones solve a listening or comfort problem you can describe. Driver count does not demonstrate a better result in your games.
Ask how the microphone behaves over your intended connection and platform. Confirm the answer for the exact model, rather than borrowing it from a related headphone.
Build your audio choice around your desk. Compare Evetech's headset options by connection, microphone needs and comfort, then spend on the features you will use every day.
Nothing lists USD399. This is an overseas price, not a South African quote or confirmation of local availability.
No. The stated test uses ANC off, AAC and 50 percent volume. Your listening settings can produce a different result.
No. The stated low-latency condition uses a Nothing phone with Game Mode enabled, not every Windows Bluetooth connection.
It selects the neutral listening profile developed with Metropolis Studios. That is an audio tuning option, not a microphone upgrade.
Nothing lists wired USB-C lossless playback. Check the exact microphone and platform behaviour needed for your setup separately.
The Logitech G PRO X wired headset was R2,149 and listed in stock on 29 September 2026. It serves a different gaming-focused brief.
Check four things before ordering a 9Nm base. What it will bolt to, how much floor space the rig needs, where the warranty is handled, and whether your machine is ready. The R14,999 bundle answers the hardware question; the room and the frame are yours.

Pressure braking is the whole idea: a load cell measures the force of your leg instead of the distance the pedal moves. The P700 set in the R14,999 bundle reads to 150kg and carries 35 adjustment points, so the sensor, the resistance and the position can all be shaped.
Checking a used OLED for burn-in means running a full grey or white fill pattern and looking closely for faint ghosted HUD shapes or taskbar outlines at the edges. Evetech recommends this test before any used purchase, since usage hours alone don't tell the full story.
Every adjustment on a pedal set falls into three jobs. They set where the pedal sits, how hard it pushes back, and how the sensor reads you, and the 35 settings on the P700 cover all three once you know which job you are fixing.
A smartwatch is a sidekick for emulation and retro gaming, not the device that makes the games run. It can help with fitness tracking, rugged use and long battery life between sessions, while Kospet Tank options run from ORB R450 and Pulse R450 to M4 R1,550.
