Entry-level CMF Buds Neo

The CMF Buds Neo boasts a lightweight stem design that's perfect for comfortable, all-day wear. The charging case continues CMF's signature minimalist aesthetic, featuring a tactile dial for easy adjustments and a built-in lanyard loop that allows you to conveniently attach it to your backpack or keys. With an IP54 rating, the earbuds are resistant to sweat, making them ideal for workouts and light rain during outdoor runs.

The charging case includes a physical dial for quick access and convenience, along with a lanyard hole for effortless portability. Each earbud is equipped with dual high-definition microphones that work with advanced background noise reduction algorithms to help isolate your voice during phone calls and when you're in noisy environments.

At the core of the CMF Buds Neo is a 12.4mm dynamic driver featuring a titanium-coated PET dome and a flexible PEEK + PU surround. The 4-microphone system (two per bud) works in tandem with Clear Voice environmental noise reduction technology, supporting up to 35 dB of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). It offers three manual intensity levels and an Adaptive Mode for varied listening experiences. Additionally, the earbuds include Static Spatial Audio, Ultra Bass Technology/Bass Enhancement, and six preset EQ profiles available through the Nothing X app.

You can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for dual-device multipoint connections for added convenience.

The earbuds offer up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge, and with the charging case, you can enjoy a total of 52 hours. Just 10 minutes of charging via USB-C will give you approximately 5.5 hours of audio playback, ensuring you're always ready to go.

The iconic see-through design of Nothing returns to the forefront. The ear cups are covered with scratch-resistant Panda glass, providing a clear view of the inner speaker layout. Instead of traditional heavy steel arms, Nothing has incorporated lightweight titanium and aluminum frame components, reducing the total weight of the headset to just 327 grams. The wider headband distributes weight evenly across your head, while soft cushion pads and built-in silicone walls create a tight sound barrier around your ears. The headphones are available in Black or White and are rated IP52 for dust and water resistance.

Unlike typical single-speaker headphones, the Headphone (1) Pro features three separate sound drivers in each ear cup. A 40mm dynamic driver is dedicated to deep bass, a secondary dynamic driver manages mid-range vocals, and a micro-speaker unit delivers sharp high notes. Additionally, ten microphones surround the ear cups to handle voice calls and effectively block out background noise, such as wind or street traffic.

Nothing claims these headphones are designed for audio engineers, creators, and everyday music lovers. They offer a wide sound range, from deep lows at 20Hz to crisp highs at 40,000 Hz. The real-time noise cancellation technology reduces outside distractions by up to 46dB, and users can enjoy up to 68 hours of continuous music playback.

The brand has also partnered with Metropolis Studios to fine-tune the audio profile. A Physical Flat EQ Switch allows users to instantly flatten the audio signature for mixing tracks, while spatial audio with head tracking creates an immersive sound experience that mimics high-end studio environments. Through the Nothing X Mobile app, you can fine-tune individual speaker levels, set up personal sound profiles, or adjust equalizers to match your music style.

The headphones are powered by a 1,060mAh battery, which provides up to 68 hours of playback without active noise cancellation (ANC) and up to 32 hours with ANC enabled. Just five minutes of charging via USB-C offers up to four hours of playback time.
