The trajectory of the Nothing Headphone (1) It's been a rollercoaster ride for audiophiles. After a series of firmware updates that left part of the community outraged due to sound inconsistencies, Nothing has finally released version 1.0.1.81. Weighing in at just 2.14 MB, this patch is not a minor update; it's the fix that restores fidelity to the brand's flagship device.
Bass correction and elimination of phantom frequencies
The main problem with previous versions was a noticeable drop in pitch around the 90-100 Hz. This "hole" in the spectrum ruined the bass punch, making the music lose its body. According to initial tests with tone generators, this flaw has been eliminated.

Vocal clarity and the end of the "glass effect"«
Another critical issue this update has resolved is the clarity of the vocals. Many users reported a muffled sound, describing it as if the singer were projecting their voice through a tube or a plastic cup.
With version 1.0.1.81, that veil disappears. The mode Balanced (default) has been recalibrated in such a way that it now surpasses, in many cases, the custom equalizers that users had designed to compensate for previous errors.

The need for a new canvas
However, there is a small price to pay for this improvement: Your old equalization profiles no longer work. Having changed the base of the frequency response, previous settings may sound strange or unbalanced.
It's recommended to revert to the default mode and wait for the community to generate new technical measurements. In the meantime, the factory balanced profile is, for the first time in months, an excellent option for enjoying your music library.
