Why CMF Buds Pro 2 Won't Disappoint You
The CMF Buds Pro 2 (review) are part of Nothing's new range of budget ANC in-ear headphones. They were introduced last year, offering high-end features at a lighter price tag.
They have a typical hairdryer stem design, which comes in unique and striking finishes. They're also lightweight, with each bud weighing 4.9 grams, while the ear tips give a snug fit in the ears. The buds have touch-sensitive controls for playback, while volume adjustment is handled through the mobile app or the customizable smart dial on the case.
Like with the other CMF earbuds, the Buds Pro 2 offer a punchy and bass-heavy audio output, courtesy of the large 11 mm woofer and 6 mm tweeter. However, there's an option to adjust the equalizer or select a predefined profile from the multiple options. Apart from the basic AAC and SBC codecs, the CMF Buds Pro 2 support LDAC for high-res listening. You also get useful features like port detection and 360-degree audio.
A standout feature in the CMF Buds Pro 2 is the presence of ANC, which is a rare feature for this price range. It performs surprisingly well when blocking solid-born noises and modes for suppressing 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 Pro 2 get more than decent battery life. They lasted 11 hours of listening time with ANC disabled (6 hours with ANC turned on) and 43 hours in total combined with the case. While there's no wireless charging, the Buds Pro 2 charge fast, refilling 100% of the juice in just over an hour.
