All the glitter isn't gold. Personally speaking CMF BUDS PRO2 I am using it go and check the reviews then select
Just yesterday I bought CMF Buds Pro 2 (Nothing). I was going back forth between Soundcore space a40 and this one, and to be honest I still want to try a40, but didn't want to wait for the cargo and just bought CMF from the nearest tech store. Where I live it costs around 50$. My previous Redmi Buds 4 Active gave me so much @#$% and when I first tried the ANC on CMF I was mind blown (never had buds with ANC before). I spend around 2 hours in metro every day and trains here are loud af. So I understand your pain. The only thing I don't like about all new earbuds is the squircle shape of the silicone. It's borderline impossible to replace them with something else because then they don't fit into their case (looking at you Redmi Buds). Soundcore Space a40 has circular silicone, which means you can replace them with whatever you like. CMF sadly also has squircle silicone, but ANC is pretty good that I don't feel the need to replace them (yet). My 2¢.
I have CMF pro2 and they're excellent
Honestly but nothing CMF pro 2 are a good option just because they have pretty much all the features to get ever ask for. They're probably in competition with something like the life p30i. Baseaus, earfu , soundpeats... If you're willing to get something older you might be able to save money on a more flagshio. I saw the Liberty 3 pro for $55 brand new the other day which would be a great deal although I do worry a little bit about the age of the battery.
I would probably recommend the space a40 just because it's almost as cheap as the CMF by nothing butts pro 2 but has like twice the battery life and has a better EQ. So if you don't like the sound out of the box you can still get a sound you like out of it.
CMF by Nothing Buds Pro 2. Reasonably inexpensive, good sound, good transparency mode.
These have been great for me so far! CMF Buds Pro 2 https://nothing.tech/products/cmf-buds-pro-2?srsltid=AfmBOood9dZ5XXgVw_pcUqs6fVyVyXFgCswqgSZ4eyjJ5QFEeyMqasEm&variant=42587052343435
Great sound, got a pair in orange.
I have the CMF Earbuds Pro 2 by Nothing and couldn't recommend them enough. Bought them from Aliexpress for $60 as I just wanted something cheap for the gym. Super comfy and great sound quality
