Jones-Emberson 1 (PK 164+31.1) is a large but very faint planetary nebula in the constellation Lynx. Like the Medusa nebula this is probably a very old shell of gas. It was discovered in 1939. The 14th magnitude planetary nebula is also known as the Headphone Nebula, and lies at a distance of 1 600 light years. The 16.8-magnitude central star is a very blue white dwarf.
