Introducing the all-new CMF Buds and Neckband Pro: cutting-edge technology at bargain prices, complete with Active Noise Cancellation and top-notch connectivity features.

Adding to its lineup, CMF, the sub-brand of Nothing, introduces two new pairs of headphones – a more affordable version of its TWS buds and an upgraded neckband design.

Available for ₹2,500, the CMF Buds are priced ₹1,000 less than the Pro models (for more details on the original model, check out our CMF Buds Pro review). Despite the lower price, they still offer Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) at 42dB (compared to 45dB on the Pros) and include a transparency mode.

The buds connect via Bluetooth 5.3 with Fast Pair support, offer multi-point connectivity and a Low Lag gaming mode. They are equipped with 12.4mm divers featuring a bio-fibre and custom TPU diaphragm, tuned by Dirac. These buds come with 4 microphones instead of 6.

The Buds provide a battery life of 35.5 hours (buds + case) and support fast charging. Although slightly less than the 39 hours of the Pro models, they have faster charging – a 10-minute charge yields 6.5 hours of listening (compared to 5 hours on the Pros). Both models are IP54 rated for dust and water resistance.

The CMF Neckband Pro represents a fresh take in a format that has become less popular with the rise of TWS headphones. CMF claims that these are the best neckband-style headphones to date, offering great value for their price.

Priced at just ₹2,000, the Neckband Pro is more affordable than even the basic CMF Buds Pro but offers superior ANC – 50dB with 5 microphones. With a battery life of up to 37 hours of continuous listening (23 hours with ANC enabled), a quick 10-minute charge provides 18 hours of listening time (with ANC off).

These headphones also feature Bluetooth 5.3 with Fast Pair, multi-point connectivity, and a 360° Spatial Audio Effect.

The Neckband Pro boasts better water resistance with an IP55 rating and includes magnets in the buds for secure neck placement. This feature triggers play/pause automatically, but users can also utilize the Smart Dial for volume control, music playback, track skipping, and ANC adjustments. Customizable actions can be set up in the Nothing X app.

In the Indian market, the CMF Buds will be available through Flipkart, Myntra, Croma, and Vijay Sales starting March 8. The Neckband Pro will follow on March 11 with a ₹200 discount at launch.

Both the CMF Buds and Neckband Pro are expected to launch in various regions worldwide later this month. In the UK, they will be available at the Nothing Store Soho starting March 9, while in other European regions, pre-orders begin on the 12th and open sales start on the 18th.
