The headphones lay flat in their case, which is pretty slim. Nothing's first pair of over-the-ear headphones has arrived, bearing the company's signature retro-transparent design that it introduced with the Phone 1. But until now, that design has mostly been in your pocket or peeking out of your ears. With the $299 Nothing Headphone 1, you have to commit to having that aesthetic wrapped...
