Concept 1's design emphasises transparency, weightlessness, effortlessness, and timelessness.
Pei's blog post adds that Nothing, "peel off everything superficial, like unnecessary branding on the surface" despite the fact that one can see the brand's name prominently displayed on the stem of the earphones. Although we can't see a whole lot from this angle, it appears to be heavily 'influenced' by Apple Airpods' design. While the shorter stem might make it look classier, finding a pair of lost transparent earbuds will be somewhat of a daunting task. This could be on purpose, though, as weightlessness happens to be one of the linchpins of Nothing's design philosophy.
Furthermore, Concept 1 takes inspiration from "a grandmother's tobacco pipe." Pei said that Nothing draws inspiration from "everyday objects" for relatability. This is all we know about Nothing's future endeavours for now. There may be a Nothing-branded smartphone in the works as well, which was suggested after the brand's acquisition of Essential. One can only hope that the earbuds live up to the massive hype around them.
