A new headphone from Nothing has now been spotted on the UAE’s TDRA certification platform, and it could be the rumoured Nothing Headphone (a). While the brand has so far only confirmed the Nothing Phone (4a) series for March 5th, this fresh listing suggests there may be more in store.
Here is more to it.
Alleged Nothing Headphone (a) – TDRA Certification
The model number “B186” has surfaced on the UAE’s TDRA certification website under the organisation name Nothing Technology Limited. The marketing name listed in the certification simply mentions “Headphone”, and the product type is categorised as Bluetooth.
According to the listing, the device received certification on 18 February 2026 and carries the equipment registration number ER56857/26. At this stage, no additional specifications or branding details have been revealed in the documentation.
Earlier, Nothing shared two cryptic Pokémon teasers ahead of the March 5th announcement of the Nothing Phone (4a) series. The first teaser featured Bellsprout, which has the National Pokédex number #0069. This was linked to the Nothing Phone (4a) series, as the model numbers for the devices are A069 and A069P for the Phone (4a) Pro.
The second teaser featured Hoppip, which has the National Pokédex number #0187. It was initially believed that this could be connected to the upcoming Headphone (a). However, the model number “B187” is associated with the CMF Buds Pro 2, and Nothing did not share any Pokémon teaser specifically for those earbuds.
As of now, the only rumoured over-ear product from the brand is the Nothing Headphone (a). A publication named Dealabs previously claimed that Nothing could begin pre-orders for the Headphone (a) on March 5th, with sales expected to start from March 13 in the EU market. However, Nothing has not officially confirmed this information.
So far, the company has only announced the launch date for the Nothing Phone (4a) series. If this newly certified device does turn out to be the Headphone (a), Nothing may begin teasing it in the coming days. Until then, we will have to wait for official confirmation from the brand.
