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 cannot believe the sound quality to price ratio you get with these. My Bose QuietComforts, though better at ANC, are a close match in regards to sound quality. I also have the Nothing Buds (a), and they do not match the sound quality that these particular CMFs provide. These CMFs have dual drivers, while many others utilize single drivers. I find this dual driver design superior for louder listening, especially for high frequencies or spatial effects as those beloved deep bass notes don't drown out the highs as they are emitted from a dedicated driver. Build quality, being honest, is a B-, while the Nothing Buds get an A- from me. They're all plastic at the end of the day, I just feel the CMFs could of used a bit higher quality material, yet it does keep the bud weight down, so maybe it wasn't by accident. Battery life is not an issue and a full charge of the case will easily carry you through the day. With ANC off, it will last you several days of moderate to heavy use. Noise canceling is pretty good, but I'm comparing that to a much more expensive set designed specifically for ANC, so they do the job well. So for the price, build, sound and features, you sincerely can't go wrong with a set of these. I'm big into music, and especially the quality side of things as true high fidelity music hits different. With LDAC support on these with a new enough device, you can aquire some high quality music on your phone using applications such as Tidal or QoBoz. If you really want to enjoy the full sound quality, start there. As a bonus, the case and its ability to deactivate its control features by a double press is a huge plus if you're worried about mistakenly triggering commands. The Nothing Brand is not playing around as they have a plethora of devices out, and they are not stopping as far as improvements..Firmware updates which take a few minutes will be needed out of the box, so plan on that on your first use. 5☆

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.

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

Out of the box, these sound shockingly good. Like stuff you get from $100-$180 pairs good. Pair that with a really nice feature set, a good app and EQ control, then you have one great value set of buds right here. It's light and have a really good seal that didn't fall out of my ears even while sprinting on a treadmill. Speaking of the app and EQ, it is heavily recommended you use their app. Not only to have access to many of the features, but to also tame theses buds a bit. While the vocals and separation are quite well tunned, they are also tuned heavily towards bass and its treble is a bit high for my taste. Sadly, the app only lets you control Bass, Mids, Treble, so attempting to tame that bass also affects the sub-bass. Still, my issue with it is mostly due to the genre of music I listen to causing me to constantly reach for my phone to tune that EQ to keep it from being fatiguing. But if you listen to genres that love that type of sound signature, like EDM or Hip-Hop, then these would sound perfect as that extra bass does help those genres sound extra punchy.

1. It fitted to my ear well. Smooth and not irritating size at all. 2. Phone call quality with earbuds was great. not the best out of all but def best contender for its class. 3. Download app, open the case, and that was it. Setup was really easy and cant be mistaken. Connection was great. There is a delay/lag/latency from bluetooth connection but great quality of sound made up for it and connection itself was great and never disconnect. 4. Beautiful design. I would say best of all I ever owned. 5. Sound is where it excel. IT is a bass monster but you can choose not to. True to sound and powerful. tuning works well. Customizing is diverse and they all make sense. Sounds crisp and clear. Definitely recommeneded.

I've used these for a year now, and now I'm ready for a review now. Single greatest pair of earbuds I've ever owned. They're cheaper than more expensive brands, like Sony or Bose, but sound just as good. Their battery also appears to last just as long. I can sometimes go almost four or five days without charging the case, and a full day without charging the earbuds. The case's dial button thing is an excellent quality feature I wish other brands had. The shape and size of the case are nice. Feels nicer to carry than an AirPod case. As a little bonus, these things are built like a freaking brick. I've dropped them and run them through the washer by accident (don't do this on purpose, though), and they still worked marvelously. These earbuds are probably the best you can get for this price. I cannot recommend these enough if you're looking for a new pair of earbuds.

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'm too much of a cheapskate and music isn't important enough to me to justify buying a high-end model of earbuds. But when my last pair went belly up and the replacement model I ordered were basically unusable, I decided to look for a nicer model. I researched a bit and heard that these punch above their weight. Came here to check them out and found they were on a great spring sale deal. So I went ahead and got them, and I'm really glad I did. The sound quality and noise cancelling are both the best I've ever used in earbuds. They connect instantly to every device I've used them with, and they switch between active devices seamlessly. Battery life seems really good too. The case is actually the weakest point of this item. It's got sharpish-square edges compared to most, so it's not as easy to get in or out of pockets. Also, it's awkward to open one-handed. But that's not too bad because it's not even obvious which direction it opens. I inevitably end up trying to open it some direction other than where the hinges are. I assume I'll get used to it eventually, but for now it's kind of annoying. The wheel roller/button on the case is kind of cool, but not exactly needed since I usually find the device controls easier to handle. I ended up disabling the button in the app settings so as to not accidentally bump it in my pocket. Overall that's a small downside compared to the quality and sound of the earbuds themselves. I'm glad I bought them, I only hope future versions of the product have a case that's easier to handle.
