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, Dark Grey

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.

CMF Buds Pro 2 by Nothing, and I am genuinely impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, with deep, punchy bass, clear vocals, and crisp highs that make every song sound incredible. Whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, or taking phone calls, the audio is consistently rich and detailed. The active noise cancellation works surprisingly well, blocking out background noise and helping me stay focused. Battery life has also been excellent, lasting all day with plenty of charge left. The design is sleek and modern, and the charging case feels premium and compact. Pairing was quick and easy, and the connection has been stable with no dropouts. For the price, these earbuds deliver features and sound quality that compete with much more expensive brands. If you’re looking for excellent audio, strong noise cancellation, and a stylish design, I highly recommend the CMF Buds Pro 2.

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.

I love these. I got these as a cheaper replacement for the nothing ear headphones. These have amazing bass and sound quality. the ANC is pretty decent. They are also pretty durable. Although after around 2 years of having them the right earbud started to loose sound. Battery life is pretty decent on them and so is the comfort/fit of them. I like the smart dial so i dont have to constantly pull out my phone to turn down music or skip songs. So these are pretty decent if you're looking for affordable headphones but after about a year ywar and a half they begin to just be crappy. but i say its worth it.

Taken with a grain of salt, since I've been using them for a total of 30 minutes. Update - I've now worn them through 2 calls and all was well. No complaints from the other end, and my side was crystal clear. Comfort is good, and my longest session was 3 hours. No ear pain, and they stayed in my ears. Still have not used the case dial function. Oh yeah, after 3 hours of music play I put the buds back in the case and both buds were still at 83% battery. A couple minor weaknesses, but again, I keep in mind that they are sub $60 buds. The noise cancellation is wonky with loud noises (in my case Chainsaw and Circular saw). The pass through audio is not great, but I was able to have conversations with a few people at Lowes. This could be improved, but the price would go up. Music was still great. Original review: First song though them is All Night by Def Leppard from Euphoria. It has a lot of quasi variable sounds, a hint of soft rock rap, rock, acapella vocals, and vocals isolated with nothing but bass, good harmonies, both high and low tones. Normally I drive a new set of buds to max volume, but these approached uncomfortable at 3/4 volume, which is also where the "Ear Damage" warning pops up. I got to *80% volume and backed off (very impressive). They only have 3 tip options, SML, and are factory fitted with M. I switched to the Large and get good isolation. For this sub $60 purchase price I did not expect a hearing test from the app, and one does not exist, but it does have a fit test under the Device Settings. Also under the Device Settings is the Dual Connection option, which by default is set to off. If you switch to dual connection, the buds have to reboot, so don't do this if you're in the middle of listening to a song or on a phone call. Surprisingly, the app and buds have a Find My Earbuds option - unheard of for this price. The buds sound fantastic with Spacial Audio off, but there is a noticable enhancement when you enable Spacial Audio. I like both outputs equally, and thing for those who come from or are in the sound production world, my guess is they will prefer the perception of a pre and post mixed feel. Spacial off tends to be a lot more of a natural recording, and Spacial sounds like a producer got a low impact opportunity to add some effects, but not over powering. Another effect of Spacial is a slight volume boost. I've not yet tried the case dial, and while cool, I don't see a personal application, but still cool as a remote control for your buds, without the need to touch the buds or use the phone app. The case is a little larger than my Soundcore Space A40's, but I like the square shape. I also bought a matching TPU case so I'd not scratch up the case while in my pocket. There are only two things I poke at. There is no USB-C cable included (not a big deal - by now everyone has a dozen or more). The second is a personal preference, and that is earbud charge % display, and that it only shows charge drop in 5% increments, i.e. 100%, 95%, 90% etc. I am not yet able to speak to call quality, but that will happen soon I hope. So far I'm sticking with the Euphoria album, but I can't wait to hear Drive by The Cars, both for vocal and instrumental clarity.

I don't write many reviews, but for the price and sound quality, these are an excellent value for me, and I wanted to share my experience. First off, this is a review from an iPhone user. While I like all the extra features Apple's proprietary chips offer, I'm not a huge fan of the way that AirPod Pros fit (or the price). My favorite pair of Bluetooth buds of all time was a pair of Beats Fit Pro. I'm a pretty active person, and I enjoyed the wings that fit well in my ears, and the sound was pretty lively and fun. Those lasted a couple of years, but once they went kaput, I thought I’d try some other brands (as an Apple subsidiary, Beats are pretty expensive as well). I have had three pairs of Nathing Ear buds over the past year—not because they broke, but rather because I regularly lose buds in parking lots and next to gym machines. They sounded great, but I didn’t feel like the noise cancellation was the best, and there is sometimes a lag in connecting to my phone. They also have a strange ‘watery’ streaming sound with certain types of music, especially music with distorted guitars. After losing my third earbud in a row, I needed a new pair of buds, and I ended up reading some reviews of these CMFs. As someone who is already partially in the Nothing ecosystem, I liked what I read about the features and really liked the price. I am not disappointed at all by these buds. The sound quality and isolation are excellent, and they connect to my phone right away. Noise cancellation seems much better than my Nothing Ears. I listen to a lot of rock, EDM, jazz, and podcasts, and they sound great with all genres, whereas the Nothings seemed to struggle with rock. Many buds have harsh treble, but these are clear without having a piercing top end. The bass is pretty pronounced, so I don’t even turn on the extra bass settings. I do miss the custom sound profiles of the Nothings, but the tuning out of the case is really enjoyable to my ears. I’ve put these through a lot of scenarios over the past couple of weeks, including biking, jogging, mowing the lawn, going on walks, taking short calls and doing chores around the house. They’ve been great in every situation. The only issue I've run into is that they seem to have a shorter range than earbuds with Apple chips, as they cut out when I was playing basketball and got a little far away from my iPhone. For most people and scenarios, I really don't think this will be a problem. Also, the fit is secure—not as good as my Beats Fit Pros, but they don’t slip unless I get incredibly sweaty. For the price, I can’t really complain. A few years ago, I think most $40 earbuds sounded quite flat with crummy battery life and connectivity issues, so it’s amazing how far we’ve come. Plus, the Nothing app is really easy to use. The case has cool functionality that I haven’t really explored, but it’s nice to have the options. The case is a smudge magnet, but for 40 bucks, that’s not really a big deal, either. I bought the blue ones, but the orange color looks really nice to me as well. I would recommend these for people in almost any scenario, from work to exercise to just enjoying music or podcasts at home.

Great earbuds. A massive upgrade to my previous pair which were Skull Candy Dime 2’s. It has active noise cancellation which works great on my train commute but also a transparency mode so I can hear my surroundings if I want to. There’s also a much longer battery life. They fit nicely in my ears out of the box and the case has added functionality that you can program as a hard button. The dial on the case also allows for volume controls. Their app also has equalizer settings and bass adjustments allowing you to tinker a bit to get things just right. I managed to grab a pair on sale and they were also cheaper than my previous headphones (under $40 USD)! Great value for the functionality and quality. I would recommend these if you are in need of an upgrade to earbuds that may be 5 years or older.

After losing my sennheiser earbuds, I got these as a quick replacement since music is a super important part of my day. These earbuds are pretty crazy for the price they are at. The battery lasts very long in day to day use, and I only really charge the case once a week. The smart dial on the case is a very nice addition, and other than helping me not lose my case as much anymore, I've put down my phone more since its not as needed anymore in terms of listening to music. It works well with my pixel 6 pro, and sure the anc isn't the most ground breaking but it gets the job done pretty well and blocks out a lot of other background music and noise. One thing about it though is that the tuning out of box is pretty garbage in my opinion, and sounds pretty empty. I would recommend downloading the nothing x app (the app used to configure these earbuds), and set the eq to rock, which makes it sound so much better. Related to sound quality, it is also very very punchy, and the bass is pretty nice. 4.8/5 very good if you get the nothing x app :D

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

Llevo unas horas usando los **CMF Buds Pro 2 de Nothing, y debo decir que me han impresionado gratamente. Desde el primer momento, destacan por unos bajos marcados, incluso con la función "Ultra Bass" desactivada, lo cual es excelente, ya que no opacan los tonos medios y agudos. A través de la app Nothing X, es posible ecualizar a tu gusto, aunque solo permite ajustar medios, agudos y graves. Sin embargo, la mejor opción que encontré es “DIRAC Opteo”, que optimiza el sonido de una manera espectacular, ofreciendo un equilibrio sonoro muy preciso. Una de las características más prácticas es el dial del estuche de carga. Puedes configurarlo para varias funciones como cambiar de pista, ajustar el volumen, pausar/reproducir, sin tener que tocar los audífonos, lo cual es más cómodo en comparación con los controles táctiles de los auriculares . A través de la app, también puedes personalizar las funciones táctiles de los auriculares para el lado izquierdo y derecho por separado, lo que da mayor flexibilidad. Además, los CMF Buds Pro 2 cuentan con cancelación activa de ruido (ANC) que, aunque no es la mejor del mercado, es bastante efectiva para el precio que tienen. El ANC es ajustable en varios niveles y hace un buen trabajo reduciendo ruidos de fondo, aunque en situaciones muy ruidosas, otros modelos más caros como los AirPods Pro 2 o Bose QuietComfort pueden ofrecer una mejor experiencia. Sin embargo, la relación calidad-precio de estos auriculares es difícil de superar, especialmente si consideras las 11 horas de duración de la batería (43 horas con el estuche), la conectividad Bluetooth 5.3, y su diseño IP55 resistente al agua. En cuanto a la calidad de construcción, el estuche de carga y los audífonos están muy bien construidos, especialmente considerando su precio asequible. El estuche tiene un diseño compacto y está disponible en varios colores interesantes, como el gris oscuro, gris claro, azul marino y un llamativo naranja. Los auriculares son livianos (solo 4.9g cada uno), lo que los hace cómodos para usar durante largos períodos. En resumen, estos audífonos ofrecen un sonido sorprendentemente bueno para su rango de precio, con graves potentes, una buena personalización del sonido, y características innovadoras como el dial del estuche. Si buscas unos auriculares asequibles y con buen rendimiento, definitivamente los CMF Buds Pro 2 son una excelente opción.
