CMF Buds Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds with Smart Dial, 50dB Hybrid Noise Cancelling Earbuds Wireless Bluetooth 5.4, 11mm Bass with LDAC, 6 Hi-Res Audio Mics, 43H Playtime, Fast Charging Case, Dark Grey

I lost an old pair of buds 2 pros and bought the buds 2 plus to replace them! So now...I have these and the Buds 2 plus. (Just got the pros again)I'll be honest, these are cheaper, stay in my ears better, have a case with really useful features, and are much cheaper than the plus. The plus buds fall out of my ear, probably due to weight differences with a larger battery...but the pros stay all day long no issue.I'll say that the buds plus sound a little more crisp and full compared to the super deep bass in the pros.I love the dial on the case, it's super relaxing to spin and useful to control audio.The battery life is very good.

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.

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 LineThe 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 bought these for $59 and they are still 100% worth it (they're going for $39 now). I use them at work and at home mainly. The reason I bought these was because my old linkbuds S suddenly started draining battery in an hour- turns out it's a known issue and sony refuses to fix it. So I bought these and gave them a tryThe noise cancelling is not the best BUT they are $39 and it is respectable. You just might have to increase the volume a bit more if people are talking loudly, etc. For my use case, it's perfectly fine since I don't really use them in transit and I haven't really tested them that much on public transit, on a plane, etc. I mainly drive around now, and if I were to fly somewhere I think I would use my sony xm4 over ear headphones anyways.The sound quality is good, I wanna say not as good as my old linkbuds S but still good. I was worried when buying them that people said they would be too bassy, but with a completely reasonable EQ, they are great and I'm not a huge bass person but I do appreciate a bit of bass. It would be nice if we could change the EQ with more than just 3 controls, but it's good enough I guess.They are pretty comfortable, but they do slip out a little from movement sometimes. When this happens, you might notice slightly worse audio quality and you have to readjust them. Also if you accidentally fold the tip, it will sound terrible and you just have to put it back to normal (sorry don't know how else to describe this). It's a completely normal thing, not an issue.One plus side is that I have literally never had these die. I've been using them for 6 months and not once has an earbud reached 0% in my use case. I just charge the case around once a week without really thinking about it and have never had to worry about battery.

These are actually pretty great. The sound is quite good, especially for the price. Crisp, clear and balanced. None of the fuzziness that often comes with cheaper earbuds. They sound way better than earbuds I've owned that cost twice as much. The noise canceling is solid, and also superior to some higher priced earbuds I've tried. Not the most comfortable earbuds I've ever felt, but not really a problem in that respect either. Battery life seems decent.Thank you to cmf for making this product in the bright orange color. I have a vision impairment and I'm not terribly organized in general, so I chronically lose my earbuds. The bright color on these make them much easier for me to find.

TL;DR - Low cost, high quality, great sound, trick charging case is both a gift and a curse.Background:I usually keep two sets of wireless ear buds on hand all the time: one "good" set which are my daily drivers, and one cheap set for use when I travel (thereby sparing my good set any potential loss-related peril). After four years of faithful service, my cheapies (JLab GO Air Pop; usually $20-$25, but on sale at Walmart a couple times per year for around $10) finally gave up the ghost. It just so happened that it was around the time of the Prime Day sale, and the CMF Buds Pro 2 were going for below $40. Would these end up being the ultimate beater buds, or did I instead overpay for all flash and no substance? Let's find out...The Good:At first glance, one could be forgiven for thinking these were near $100 buds. The charging case is well crafted, with a substantial heft and build quality that belies the product's bargain price tag. The matte, slightly rubberized plastic finish provides a sense of luxury. The lid opens and closes purposefully, without any untoward flimsiness or rattling. The smart dial (as it's called) rotates with a satisfying click, and the same can be said when it is pressed as a button. Inside, the buds themselves continue the upscale appeal brought on by the case. The design is simple, yet elegant, even if not entirely unique. The magnetic attachment points on the "legs" of the buds snap forcefully into place when put into the case, and the hold is tighter than a toddler's grip on a lock of hair.Using the buds is a mostly pleasant experience. The included cushion tips come in the standard small, medium, and large sizes, so the vast majority of people should be able to find a comfortable fit. While I have not used these for working out or running, I can say that they tend to stay in place quite well when moving about, normally. By contrast, I have had other ear buds (wired and wireless) that would fall out if I so much as yawned with them in. Despite the touch controls being on the slender legs of the buds, inputting commands is easy and responsive. Using the smart dial on the case takes some getting used to, but works like a charm once you do. I can't speak to battery life just yet, as I only use them for an hour or less at a time, well below their advertised run time. I also have not tested the Bluetooth range, but I am happy to report that there have been no issues with stuttering or skipping as far as connectivity is concerned."Yeah, that's great, but what about the sound?" Chill, people, I'm getting there! There is no earthly reason for something this inexpensive to sound this good! Punchy bass, crisp highs, and well-defined mids have these buds punching well above their weight. It is such a pleasure to maintain the same clarity of sound whether the volume is low, medium, or rupture-your-eardrums high. With the Nothing X companion app, the sound profile can be further enhanced with things like spatial audio, a 5-level bass boost ("Ultra bass"), and an equalizer with six presets, as well as a custom mode. Lastly, the active noise canceling (to include transparency/awareness mode), while not world-beating, is far better than I could have hoped for on something below triple digits. I realize I heaped a hearty amount of praise on these for their sound, but please note that this is relative to the price point. Do these truly outperform the best and brightest buds from Apple, Samsung, Sony, or Bose? Nah. But the JLabs, Skullcandys, Ankers, and Baseus' of the world should be deeply concerned.Sounds like the bees' knees, right? What faults could they possibly have? Well, since you asked...The Bad:Remember that super-cool charging case with the smart dial? Yeah, it's not all puppies and sunshine. While I absolutely appreciate that the case (if properly configured in the Nothing X app) gives me a way to change the volume without having to reach for my phone (or remember which action on which bud I have mapped for volume), it can get a little annoying in situations where I'm walking and my hand accidentally brushes the pocket, turning the dial. It's bad enough that the music has gotten louder or quieter unexpectedly, but the stupid thing beeps in your ear as if to confirm that yes, the volume did change. Turn it up three notches? Beep-beep-beep. Every. Single. Time. Not only that, but it also temporarily lowers the volume of the music, similar to when a notification comes in. Just today I was reaching into a kitchen cabinet to put something away, and the counter top pressed the smart dial button causing the music to stop. I have the button function of the smart dial mapped to play/pause, which leads to another gripe: the touch control mapping isn't great for my particular use case. Let me explain: on each ear bud, you have four mappable actions: double tap, triple tap, tap and hold, and double tap and hold. Each of those can be mapped to different things on each bud. However, only the double tap has the option to be mapped to play/pause. Personally, I prefer to have the same controls on both buds because I don't like the idea of having to reach across to the other ear to do something if the hand on the same side is unavailable for whatever reason (or accidently tapping the wrong side in a moment of confusion and getting an unexpected result). That said, my configuration for both buds is:Double tap: skip forwardTriple tap: skip backwardTap and hold: ANC/transparency modeDouble tap and hold: Left - volume down, Right - volume upBecause of that configuration, I had to map play/pause to the button press action on the smart dial. I realize that this is a self-inflicted woe due to my unwillingness to map different functions to different buds, but would it really kill CMF to implement a single tap action and allow that to be mapped to play/pause? Finally, I realize that the smart dial can be locked to prevent accidental activation (like I experienced), but I feel like that kinda hinders the convenience of having such a feature in the first place. When I started writing this review, I intended to rate the product at four stars because of the issues I had with mapping the various actions. But the more I wrote, the more I realized that my "problems" had more to do with my individual preferences and less to do with actual shortcomings in the product. For that reason, there won't be any stars deducted.Conclusion:In a world of barebones budget buds and bank-breaking baller buds, it's comforting to know that, somewhere in the middle, there is an option that deftly marries the amenities of one to the agreeable cost of the other. Feature rich, solid construction, and upmarket look and feel are but a few fitting descriptors for these awesome buds. They may not be exactly perfect for me due to my personal preferences, but they're so much closer than anything at this price point has the right to be. All in all, I have failed in my quest to find a replacement set of "throwaway" buds, because these have earned a spot as the backups to my daily drivers. Now to find another set of actual cheapies...

Now I'd like to start this with the fact that I've never had the current air pods or Samsung buds so I can't say whether they are better but what I can tell you is these are AMAZING! Between the incredible rich sound quality and the CRYSTAL CLEAR phone call audio these are hands down my best earbuds/headphones to date. Also the amount of features these have built in is quite impressive but certainly not the selling point.First off, the music quality. When I say I've never had a better sounding pair of buds I promise you I'm not exaggerating. Deep, rich, punchy bass and crystal clear detailed mids and trebles. And all well balanced even without messing with the eq. Look at the end for my config to get the most out of these for quality. My new fav past time is just sitting and listening to music thru these because it's such a beautiful experience.Second, the audio quality and mics. My biggest problem with ear buds has always been the phone call quality especially since I work in the field so it's never quiet. Doesn't matter with these. Heck, I can have the windows down and still have phone calls. It's not as clear as before but still, first pair I've ever had that that's possible. Most other pairs I've had wouldn't even work in a quiet room. 10/10.Third and honestly the only part that doesn't make these the most perfect headphones of all time. The features are great and very useful especially the fact that you can map out what your controls and touches do but also that they thought of eliminating single tap actions so you don't accidentally pause your music when you readjust them. Huge plus for me. And the case is cool too although not as useful as it is neat. It's nice if you don't have the phone in your hand but easily gets pressed when in your pocket. And yes, I'm referring to the smart dial on the case.Reason it doesn't get 10/10 stars across the board is the smart wheel likes to turn itself back on randomly. I'll turn it off and usually after a little bit of time it's back on and pausing my music. And the audio controls will sometimes set themselves by themselves. Not a huge issue but still annoying.But all I'm all I can't recommend these buds enough especially if you can get them on sale. Incredible all around. I promise you you won't regret em. Treat yourself.P.s. to get the best audio quality out of these, turn on HD audio and turn off the bass booster. Bass booster just makes it sound muddled.P.s.s. the battery life is good but not incredible. Lasts me a out 2-3 days of average use. Maybe 4. Certainly good enough for what they give you but not impressive.P.s.s.s for nothing: can you dial in the trebles a hair more? They are the weakest point of the sound scale and would appreciate an update. Also, thanks for these amazing buds.

First and foremost, QUALITY, these CMF Buds Pro 2 have by far the clearest bass and treble I've ever heard in earbuds. On top of that, features like Ultra Bass and pausing music when taking out one of the earbuds were things I never thought would make a much better experience. Most things are controlled thru the app (currently called Nothing X).I only have two complaints that are easy to fix with an update:1. The treble on these earbuds get very loud, even at 70% I still feel like my ears are ringing. Through the app, I was not able to turn the treble low enough where I did not have this issue AND where it did not affect the volume and quality of the mids (vocals and certain sounds like symbols) to where it was hard to hear lyrics and some melodies.2. Volume adjustment is OK but still difficult getting it at the percent you want. If either I turn up/down the volume from either my earbuds or the case, it would change it by a strange amount like it would go up 7% and down another random amount.Don't let my 4 stars be a negative sign, and like I said, these small issues are just quirks that are easily fixable with an update. The packaging and the earbuds, the case too all feel very premium. It was very easy to set up and they just worked with my phone. Battery life is fantastic, I have not run into the issue where I needed to charge them at all and the case keeps them charged. The default ear tips work great and it comes with more in case it doesn't fit you good.

It’s good doesn’t fall from my ears like all my other wireless earbuds it handles heavy winds like a beast, right now it’s 100% worth it, only problem is can’t connect it to a ps5 which might be a deal breaker for me because i only wanter it for the ps5

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.
