With its more affordable CMF brand, Nothing’s efforts are impressive. Rather than focusing solely on fun designs and budget pricing, the company offers features that are well above the devices’ budget pricing. For $200, the CMF Phone 1 features a gorgeous display and snappy performance, and for $70, the CMF Watch Pro 2 offers excellent battery life and fitness tracking.
The CMF Buds Pro 2 earbuds continue this trend by packing in many great features despite the low cost. Priced at just $60, these earbuds provide high-quality sound, long battery life, and useful wireless functionality.
One standout feature is the customizable dial case. The dial on the outside of the charging case lets you easily control the volume or change tracks with a turn. You can even customize what actions the dial does with single, double, or long presses. This makes the earbuds convenient to use without pulling out your phone.
The earbuds themselves deliver loud, bass-heavy sound thanks to their 11mm drivers. Several equalizer settings in the app let you tune the audio to different music genres. Active noise cancellation further isolates you from ambient sounds. Phone calls sound clear too thanks to the built-in microphones.
On a single charge, the earbuds can play audio for up to 11 hours with noise cancellation off. The case provides additional charges, allowing for over 40 hours of listening time in total. The case takes a standard USB-C for charging backup.
Other useful features include wireless Bluetooth 5.3 for easy pairing, controls on the actual earbuds, and an IP55 dust/water resistance rating. The accompanying app makes it simple to customize settings.
While comfort may vary by the individual, for the low cost, the Nothing CMF Buds Pro 2 pack has a lot of value with its great sound quality, long battery life, and convenient dial case functionality. If you’re looking for an affordable wireless option without compromising on features, these earbuds are worth considering.
