CMF(By Nothing) Buds Pro

CMF earbuds last four more than five hours nonstop use they fit snug and comfortably.Sound quality is great has bass and crystal clear.In the menu u can choose what u want each button to do on both ear buds.I love the bright orange and the compact size of the carrying case/charger. Also, I love that it uses android phone charger to charge. The Bluetooth connectivity connects seamlessly.Very hip but sleek design! Only downside is I wish I could have chosen to have the pause button on the right side .

Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the CMF (by Nothing) Buds Pro, which I find appropriately priced at €49.

Before diving into the details about the headphones themselves, let me touch on the packaging, which pleasantly surprised me. The packaging is a slim and sturdy paper casing with a molded design. It gives off an environmentally conscious vibe, although this aspect needs further confirmation.

The casing, with its cylindrical shape (58mm in diameter, 23mm in height), boasts good quality but is slightly larger compared to competitors in the same price range. The aesthetics match the headphones themselves, sporting a delightful matte finish that I particularly enjoyed.

Regarding the buds, the pairing process is incredibly easy with the companion app, and switching between phones was the quickest experience I've encountered. You simply open the case, launch the app, click on "reconnect," and you're all set. This feature is fantastic for those who share the buds across different devices but don't own multi-link capable headsets.

Speaking of the app and software, both Android and iOS versions exhibit similar aesthetics and functionality. However, Android seems to provide slightly more accurate battery reporting for each Bud and the case.

At less than 5 grams each, the buds feel light and comfortable in the ears.

Audio quality from the Buds Pro aligns well with what you'd expect in this price range; decent but not exceptional volume and equalization. The microphones…

**INTRO**

Thanks HeyUpNow for sending me this unit, it’s a great opportunity as always to try new tech and express my opinion to an audience that really cares about new tech and what it can do for your life.

This is the review of the CMF (by nothing) Buds Pro, a cheap pair of headphones produced by the creators of the nothing brand.

**UNBOXING EXPERIENCE**

The unboxing experience, considering also the low price of these pair of earbuds, is very good. The packaging is slim, eye-catching, and very well refined, and contains all the essentials for the product. If you want to delve more into this, here’s my unboxing video:

In the box, other than the earbuds and their case, you can find a usb-a to usb-c cable, braided and very high quality, although very short, and some replacement ear tips, together with some paperwork. Pretty good.

**DESIGN, BUILD QUALITY AND USER EXPERIENCE (APP)**

Let’s start with the case: i like it. Maybe too big, but the case is very nice to hold in your hands, has a nice matte finish and looks great. Also the orange color, despite a bit too eccentric for someone, looks real cool, and if you need someone less vivid, there’s also black and white, that looks great as well. The case, according to my tests, can charge the headphones 4-5 times, depending on the use of noise canceling or not.

The buds, however, in my opinion are a bit ugly. They look like airpods pro ripoffs, but a bit bulkier and finished in this glossy…

As you may already know, CMF is the new budget-friendly company connected to Nothing and the idea here is to provide affordable tech but without the quality compromise.

The CMF Buds Pro are the ones that I have rocked for the past few weeks and at first glance I was very happy with the minimalistic and eco-friendly packaging.

In the box you will find the case with buds, a USB cable, a user’s manual, and some different size ear tips – That’s pretty much it.

The Buds Pro’s case is made entirely of plastic, but it differs from other more budget-friendly brands as the one that we see here is made of high-quality materials and feels nice in the hand.

The weight is not big, nor is the size of the case and it’s easy to carry in the pocket, so that’s a big plus for me.

The earbuds are also made from plastic but with two different textures. The part that goes into your ear is glossy and easy to clean, as the stem features the same matte finish as the case. The stem is also the control part of the earbuds as here you rely on a touch-sensitive surface. Last but not least – you have an IP54 rating for the earbuds only (not the case), so you can work out with them.

In case you wish to use the touch controls, you can double-tap to skip to the next track or to answer/hang up calls, triple-tap for skipping backward, tap and hold for noise control, and double-tap and hold for volume up/down, depending on your preference. All of these controls can be adjusted in the Nothing X app,…

Appearance and Packaging:

The CMF Buds Pro packaging strikes a balance between a premium look and eco-conscious design. It's straightforward and minimalistic, feeling high-end without excess. Using minimal cardboard cutouts for the case and cable, the packaging aligns with sustainability values, making it an eco-friendly choice. This blend of a sleek appearance and eco-conscious materials enhances the unboxing experience while appealing to those who appreciate both style and environmental responsibility.

The case, resembling a hockey puck, has a matte finish and a sleek design. It kind of reminds me of a hockey puck.

Comfortable Design:

The earbuds' pill-shaped stalk and touch-sensitive outer surface offer a comfortable and unobtrusive fit. The IP54 dust and water resistance add durability without compromising comfort.

It is similar to the Nothing Ear (1). For the Nothing Ear (1), I had issues where it would stop music halfway through runs because it thought I had touched the stalk. I'm glad that I can turn this feature off via the app, although I have not tried that with the Nothing Ear (1) because I misplaced them awhile ago.

Nothing X App Integration:

The Nothing X app provides seamless software control, allowing users to adjust EQ settings, customize touch gestures, and manage ANC modes. While the three-band EQ could be more versatile, the app is well-designed and user-friendly.

There is also a feature to play a…
