- CMF Buds Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds with Smart Dial, 50dB Hybrid Noise Cancelling Earbuds Wireless Bluetooth 5.3, 11mm Bass with LDAC, 6 Hi-Res Audio Mics, 43H Playtime, Fast Charging Case, Orange

Fantastic quality for the price. Good battery life, very stable connection from a long distance, and I can connect them to 2 devices. They fit my ears perfectly. Noise cancellation is decent and functions well enough, though there are better options if that's the primary feature you're looking for. Transparency mode works great. I'm very impressed overall with these earbuds!

I’ve been a big supporter of CMF by Nothing for a while now. My first purchase was back in late 2023 when I bought the original CMF Buds. I had just switched from AirPods, and I was honestly blown away by how good they were for the price. They sounded great, were comfortable, and became my daily earbuds for almost two years. Eventually I lost one of them, so I decided it was time for an upgrade and picked up the CMF Buds 2a. Once again, Nothing delivered. The sound quality was excellent, and they held up incredibly well. I even accidentally jumped into a pool with one earbud still in my pocket, and it continued working perfectly afterward. As someone who works in lawn care and landscaping, my earbuds get used hard every day, so durability is important to me. My only real complaints with the 2a were the battery life and the noise cancellation occasionally cutting in and out. This week I upgraded to the CMF Buds Pro 2, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. They updated within minutes of taking them out of the box, they’re extremely comfortable, lightweight, and almost disappear once they’re in my ears. I chose the blue color because it had the fastest shipping, but it’s also a nice change after only owning white and black earbuds. The Nothing X app is excellent, and the Pro 2 have noticeably more features than the previous models. Adaptive noise cancellation has been especially useful while I’m working, and the Bluetooth connection has been very reliable even at longer distances. Over the past few years, CMF by Nothing has consistently impressed me with the value they offer. I’ve had a great experience across multiple generations of their earbuds, and I plan to keep using their products in the future.

These earbuds are great! I love the dial, especially; I didn't realise you could also press it to pause or whatever you program it to do. They really fit great right out of the box. They were super easy to connect with my phone, watch, and PC, and the app is super sleek and clean, and easy to use. I really feel like "nothing" is in my ear! The case is small enough to fit in any pocket, and since the case is square, you can sit it standing up, which I don't see in a lot of earbuds. Choose these if you want budget, high-quality earbuds!

I have about 50hrs of use at time of review. Pros: The case isn't gimmicky. It's has solid, programmable controls that feel good. It's also magnetic so even when the case is open your earbuds will not just fall out. In fact, you can open the case and try your hardest to shake them out and they'll stay perfectly in place. The earbuds have great battery life. At about 2/3rds volume with ANC on HIGH they use about 10% every hour with the case recharging them about 30% in about 10-15min. The App for the earbuds is actually really nice. It's not invasive (only requiring nearby device location to work) and isn't sluggish to bothersome to use with a fairly solid Equalizer. Easily one of the best earbud apps I've downloaded Sound quality with MUSIC is great and feels immersive especially with the customizable equalizer. Potential Cons: They do fit a bit snug in your ear and the case only came with 2 different size adjustments that didn't work too well for my ears. As a result it took a couple days (12ish hrs of use) for my ears to become comfortable with the additional snugness. BOOKS: if you listen to audio books they can sound a bit hollow. I tried playing around with the equalizer a bit and couldn't quiet get dialed in enough. As a result books sounded like they were being played down a short hallway or like someone was speaking through a toilet paper roll. ANC isn't great but isn't terrible. It's perfectly middle of the road. They claim a "50db Hybrid Noise canceling" but I'd argue heavily that it's much much closer to 25-30 as I have another set of earbuds that claim 42db and are noticeably better at blocking noises out. But you can turn ANC on and go shopping in a busy Walmart midday with nothing playing and the earbuds do act like decent earplugs. However, you try to do anything with any sort of consistent noise slightly above average and the passthrough kicks on and basically makes the ANC useless. It's because of this feature specifically that I do not give the earbuds a 5* review. Overall they're a VERY solid earbud for the average person. They have nice features, solid battery life, and don't cost a ridiculous amount of money. And as long as you're not NEEDING the ANC for your job or hobby these earbuds will probably work great.

I used to reach for my AirPods without thinking about it. They were just the default. Then I tried these and the default changed. The sound is the first thing. Bass-forward in a way that AirPods aren't, which took maybe a day to adjust to and then felt like the right call. The 11mm driver pushes real low-end depth without muddying the mids, and vocals sit clearly in the mix. Apple's tuning is more neutral and polished out of the box, but with the Nothing X app's EQ and the five Ultra Bass levels, these get dialed in fast. Once they are, I prefer them. The noise cancellation runs at 50dB and handles the situations I actually care about — commuting, working with background noise, blocking out a loud room. It's not going to out-perform AirPods Pro on sudden sharp sounds, but for steady low-frequency noise like traffic and HVAC it's every bit as effective in real use. I stopped noticing the gap pretty quickly. The Smart Dial on the case is the feature I bring up when people ask about these. It's a physical metal ring on the charging case that lets you adjust volume, skip tracks, and toggle ANC modes without touching the earbuds or pulling out your phone. Keeping the earbud seal intact while changing volume is one of those things you don't realize matters until you start doing it. AirPods have no equivalent. Battery life gets me through a full day without thinking about it. When I do need to top up, 10 minutes in the case gives back about 3 hours of playback. The total runtime with the case is 43 hours, which in practice means charging the case once or twice a week rather than managing daily. The one area where AirPods still have an edge is the Apple ecosystem integration — the automatic device switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac is seamless in a way these don't match. Multipoint connection works across two devices but the handoff isn't as frictionless. If you live entirely in the Apple ecosystem that gap is real. If you don't, it largely disappears. For the price difference these aren't a compromise. They're a preference.

I ordered these CMF Buds Pro 2 as well as the original CMF Buds so I could compare them and decide if the moderately higher price of the Buds Pro 2 was worth it. TLDR: The Buds Pro 2 provide a noticeably superior experience and are easily worth the extra money if you have a discerning ear. I am an audiophile who worked in the home theater industry for several years, including installing and calibrating home audio systems for authentic and dynamic music reproduction. I care about accurate sound reproduction and clarity, but I also enjoy dynamic sound that I can feel. I always want to experience the full range of sounds present in a recording. So that's my baseline as I evaluate the ear buds. The original CMF Buds sound good, with punchy bass and no distortion, but it was difficult to get the right balance of mids and highs that provide crystal clear sound without it getting too tinny. In contrast, the Buds Pro 2 provide great bass while also providing clear mids and highs without being harsh or tinny. Bass is good in both products, but again, the Buds Pro 2 come out on top because they can provide bass without getting muddy. The bass is there, but it does not overpower the mids or highs. Spatial Audio on the Buds Pro 2 does a good job of creating a better sound stage. It really does put you in the middle of the music and it enhances the space between the left and right audio tracks. It also enhances the clarity of the audio. Listening to "Take 5" by the Dave Brubeck quartet is a joy on the Buds Pro 2 and hearing the difference with spatial audio on vs off highlights the virtues of Spatial Audio. The original Buds do not support Spatial Audio, so this is a clear advantage of the Buds Pro 2. Noise Cancelling is good on both, with the Buds Pro 2 providing a higher level of noise cancellation. I am not often in noisy environments, so I can't comment on the differences between these two products. The one thing I can comment on is the clarity of the Transparency mode. With the original buds I tried turning on clarity mode while at work and having a conversation with coworkers. My coworkers sounded muffled and my voice sounded to me like I was wearing earplugs. It was not a good experience. However, with the Buds Pro 2 the transparency mode works really well. I can still tell I have my ear buds in, but I can easily hear others and my own voice is only slightly annoying coming through the ear buds. :) Call clarity is good on both. I could hear the other person very well, and they said I sounded good. I don't take many calls with the ear buds, but so far I have not noticed any differences in any aspect of the call quality. The case click-wheel on the Buds Pro 2 is really enjoyable to use. As I wear the ear buds at my desk in my office job, I often use the click-wheel to adjust the volume, play/pause my music, and switch between noise cancelling and transparency mode. Each of these functions work well and the tactile feel of the wheel is really satisfying. Bottom Line The Buds Pro 2 and the original Buds are both good products. If you want a solid pair of earbuds and you are a casual user, the original Buds should work well for you. If you are picky about music quality and want to ensure an audio experience that you really enjoy, the Buds Pro 2 are easily worth the extra money.

There are many robust reviews here, so I will not comment extensively on the technology or all the merits of these buds. For the benefit of the reader, I will only remark on why I will either be offering these to my partner or returning them. For me, there are two issues that are both dealbreakers. 1) When you change the volume either by double-tap holding the buds or by using the case button (you can set such options in the app), you will hear a succession of beeps as the volume changes, louder to softer or vice versa. At best, this is disruptive to the listening experience. At worst, if the media you're listening to has lower than optimal volume, you'll have to endure excessively loud beeps in your ear as you increase the volume which is painful, jarring, and unhealthy. Note that you will not hear the beeps if you change the volume using the player device. But this is not always convenient; one of the perks of ear buds is being able to change the volume from your person, even if you're away from the connected device. 2) This is my first pair of buds with noise cancellation. When I first put them in my ears, I was astonished at how effective this technology is - I actually wondered if my AC had suddenly shut off, but no, the AC sound just vanished. However, after wearing the buds for a while, I am developing a headache. There is a feeling of pressure in the head while wearing with noise cancellation on. This is due to personal sensitivity, so this is an issue that may not affect all users. However, it is a known issue and not completely uncommon. Other non-deal-breaking issue is that I feel transparency mode is useless. Transparency mode is like the extreme opposite of noise cancellation; it amplifies ambient noise and projects it into your ear. I suppose this is useful if you want to listen to music and are concerned about missing some kind of alerting sound in your environment. But for the average user, I don't know why you'd use transparency over simply turning off noise cancellation. Back to my perceived deal-breakers. I did not come across comments about these two issues when reading review for this item (such comments may exist, but I didn't see them). It would not have occurred to me to specifically research whether there's an indicator noise when changing volume or potential side effects of noise cancellation. So, I'm writing this review as a PSA. To all, be well and stay blessed. Update: I added an additional star for Nothing's proactive and effective customer service (original review was 2 stars). Nothing reached out to me and offered me a refund for this product (without having to return) to compensate any inconvenience. They acted with graciousness, apologized along with their generous gesture, and said in part, "We have been committed to providing you with high-quality products and considerate services. Every idea you have is very important to us." Indeed, I hope they will consider the idea of either eliminating or providing the option to turn off the volume changing indicator sounds. Thanks, Nothing & best wishes.

I'm a big tech nerd and it takes a LOT to impress me and get me to spend some time and write a review like this. All I can say is these are the best bang for your buck hands down. I don't leave reviews hardly ever unless the product is complete garbage or absolutely stellar. These will 190% blow you away at this price point. The sound is crisp, clear, bassy and coupled with the Nothing app, these are on par with some of the more spendy buds in the $120-$150 range and even then the options within those apps still doesn't give you the controls of the nothing app. So lets get into the some of the details and my experience so far. First thing, I love the color options. Myself, I got the orange pair and love it so much I actually have the newest Nothing watch 3 Pro on the way, and yes with the orange band. The first thing I noticed is the comfy fit. Most ear buds simply just don't fit right and the gummies are either way to hard and stiff or sizes are off. Generally just not comfortable and don't seal the ear properly. Not the case with these CMF Nothing 2 Pro's. The gummies are surprisingly comfortable, especially at this proce point. The buds themselves, plastic (like everything else but these are a little more premium), Noise canceling is really good. I ended up with the 2 pros because my dig decided to chew up my CMF Buds 2 case when everyone was SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING! So i decided to make the upgrade to the 2 pros since they were just a couple bucks more. Now the case from the Buds 2 and the Buds 2 Pro, if you have the couple extra $$, get the 2 pro, case has an actual dial that has functions in comparison to the Buds 2 which is just a fidget toy or connection for a lanyard. But the case in my opinion is worth the extra $10-$15 in my opinion. One thing to note though is don't set anything for the single press option on the case if you plan on carrying in pocket because one accidental press and you might need a new pair of undies. Overall, simply the best set of earbuds by far at this price point and with such a good impression with their sub brand, I'm going to be purchasing a lot of Nothing Brand and the CMF line up. So if this is the "budget Buds", I'm curious on what the higher end products will deliver also

قطعة جميلة جدا مختلفة

Me gustó su audio se escucha genial los bajos y todavía no activo su ultra bass. Yo vengo de unos redmi buds 3 pro y tengo unos sony xm3 para referencia de escuchan a la par Puntos negativos que no me gustan - No venía el cable usb, en los comentarios parece que ha varios les ha pasado. No afecta en funcionamiento. - La rueda para controlar el volumen, cada que subes o bajas el nivel se escucha un sonido. No me gusta y no puedo desactivarlo en la app. Espero y lo mejoren

Received as advertised. Quality is good and the color stands out

Not usable after 5mons

Case texture is rubbery and not the plastic type one. You will also need an app on phone to connect with this earbuds. The app is mentioned in the manual. You will not only receive the case, you will also get earphones/earbuds plus earbuds tips too, you will get pagal ka bachcha.
