CMF by Nothing brings Buds Pro with 45dB ANC in a budget range

Alongside the latest Watch Pro and 65W gAN charger, CMF by Nothing has also introduced the Buds Pro as an entry-level and affordable TWS option. It boasts a 45dB ANC capability and supports fast pair through Google Fast Pair/Microsoft Swift Pair. In this article, we will be discussing about CMF Buds Pro; its features, specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal.

CMF Buds Pro Overview

Design

The CMF Buds Pro features a pill-shaped stalk, in-ear design with a touch-sensitive outer surface for control. They are equipped with two small vents at the top for speakers and two at the bottom for microphones. Notably, an optical sensor on the inner side detects earbud wear; it is a feature uncommon at this price. Unlike Nothing Ear (1), these earbuds do not bear a transparent look.

The casing of the earbuds is designed with a pebble-like structure. Both the case and earbuds are available in three colors: gray, white, and orange. Furthermore, the earbuds come with IP54 protection against dust and limited water splashes.

Audio

CMF Buds Pro offers hybrid ANC with a 45 dB noise cancellation capability. These earbuds feature drivers (10 mm) made from crystal polymer and polyurethane to deliver quality sound. Additionally, they incorporate clear call technology and a powerful bass boost option.

Talking of the app support, the buds connect to the Nothing X app via Bluetooth 5.3, supporting AAC and SBC codecs. And Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair make the pairing process quick for this TWS.

Controls

These earbuds offer intuitive touch controls. A double tap allows you to skip forward or answer/hang up calls, while a triple tap lets you skip back or reject calls. For control over surround noise, simply taping and holding can switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode.
