Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
Nothing offers affordable wireless earbuds through its CMF brand. Right now, its latest CMF Buds 2a, which are also some of the cheapest ANC-enabled earbuds, are on sale at Amazon. The pair has dropped to just $28, a 43% off the usual price of $49.
This is the best recorded price for the budget earbuds, plus the retailer has three colorways available with this deal: Orange, Dark Grey (or Black), and Light Grey (or White).
The CMF Buds 2a are part of Nothing’s new range of budget ANC in-ear headphones. They were introduced in April, offering high-end features at a more affordable price tag.
For the CMF Buds 2a, they are the cheapest in the range, but that doesn’t mean Nothing skimped on the specs and sound. They have the same stem design, which comes in unique and striking finishes. They’re also built-to-last and lightweight, with each bud weighing 4.28 grams, while the ear tips give a snug fit in the ears. The buds have touch controls for playback, while volume adjustment is handled through the mobile app.
Like with the other CMF earbuds, the Buds 2a offer a punchy and bass-heavy audio output, courtesy of the large 12.4 mm drivers. However, there’s an option to adjust the equalizer or select a predefined profile from the multiple options. You won’t expect high-res codecs at this price, but the AAC and SBC should be sufficient for most.
A standout feature in the CMF Buds 2a is the presence of ANC, which is a rare feature for this price range. It should be modest in blocking traffic noise during your commute or conversations from other people in a cafe. There’s also a transparency mode if you’d prefer to let some noise in.
The CMF Buds 2a get more than decent battery life, with 8 hours of listening time with ANC disabled and 35.5 hours in total combined with the case.
