"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"it sounds fucking amazing. ... I was blown away at Best Buy. I thought this was fake somehow like there is no way this thing is producing that bass and that level. ... The speaker is phenomenal. ... At first it was almost too bass heavy; but after an hour or two of playtime it broke in and the mids came alive, without loosing any bass. ... it still sounds fucking incredible."
"DIRAC which is like Dolby sound, so the soundstage is immersive and incredible. ... I could hear the orchestra turning the pages of their music. I could hear the hair of the bow as it glided across the bridge of a violin. It was like being in the middle of a concert hall. It was a little insane for this price range. ... The music had a broader soundstage back then in the studio...they took their time. Tweak your streaming service to lossless quality too, and then close your eyes and imagine the music happening TO YOU. Music should be a whole experience, not a time killer."
"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"

"If you care about call quality and noise cancelling during calls then Huawei is the the way and only way to go ... Best overall for calls ... nothing comes close to the Huawei free clips in terms of call quality! ... mic quality for calls is mileeeees ahead on the Huawei."
"I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. ... I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing"
"I can definitely tell that the mics have improved. The mics in general are more targeted. You can now have ambient sound amp voices in front of you. And I find that Bixby catches what I say better. ... Good. They really shined in times sqaure"

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"Love my CMF buds pro 2. ... The features to control them from the case means less phone pickups which is awesome."
"I love the case with the multi function dial. ... Love the dial because I default to using my phone to skip tracks and everything else because I loathe touch controls on earbuds."
"It has control knobs on it, easy to use, I have no site whatsoever. ... I love the model that I have with the control lamps ... this is why I chose the Cuisinart, cause somebody can’t always come running over if I need them. ... I live by myself I don’t always have sided help, this is why I chose the Cuisinart"

"the noise esp for shooter/online games are terrible"
"The only device I notice audio latency is with the quest 2, and 3. It's required to have wired there imo. I can't think straight in a fps if my audio isn't in sync with gun shots, it really fucks with me."
"If you are into FPS games and ms latencies, the AirPods are gonna irk you terribly."

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."
"they are not noise canceling"

"My right earbud stopped charging past 85% after about the 4th month of owning them. ... My right earbud, at the time that I'm writing this, charges only till 75% now, and die much quicker than the left one. ... They still do their job, and last *okay* amount of time (2.5 hrs). ... I've contacted Nothing for a replacement earbud, even said I'll pay, but nope. You need to buy a whole new one. ... I'm hesitant about buying them again because the battery of one earbud fucking up seems to be not just a one-off thing. ... Some come with faulty right earbuds that stop charging past a certain point. ... It's still dogshit, lasts barely an hr like yours. ... Nope. I don't even remember where I got it from bc it was online so thats fucked me over."
"Yea mine goes to 65 to 5 in less than 45mins now. The right bud! ... The whole series of CMF buds pro 2 has got this worst Battery! ... Best TWS with Worst Battery BackUp ever!"
"The battery life of the Nothing buds themselves is poor compared to the Senns. ... The left earbud charges only up to 85% and will drain down to 15% with just 2 hour use. ... I've already ran out of battery several times for the left bud and had to put them back in the case to recharge each time which is a bummer. ... I've searched online and found this was a common problem with the left earbud."

"I don't feel any difference in bass"
"However, the sub-bass isn ’t particularly strong and can feel a bit sluggish when stacked against higher-end models, as the layering and separation in the low-end just aren ’t there, which can lead to a muddled presentation when a lot of instrument is going on in the mix."
"Unusable without hefty EQ (-10dB @ 185Hz). ... That spike at ~180Hz is real and ruins low-mid end completely. ... Any sound in (or passing trough) ~180Hz region has some strange tin can high pitched hollowness/echo. ... Bass guitars sound strange, drums sound strange, low vocals sound strange... Any background hum in music/movies/games sounds strange. ... It is also very hard to EQ out - spike is very high and in very narrow range. So you need good EQ software to apply a lot of negative EQ in very narrow range (used EQ APO+PEACE). ... Once EQ is applied these sound quite nice. Good low end, clean mids and nice highs. Without EQ they just sound wrong."
The nothing ear has absolutely terrible ANC. As a bonus, it amplifies high frequencies such as cutlery and keys clattering, and for some reasons also amplifies cars passing by. All of this in high mode. On a busy street, you're probably better off turning of ANC and just relying in the passive isolation. Transparency mode is also worse than talking with them on with ANC off. Also of it's windy where you live you might as well turn ANC off as it has zero wind detection. Everything else from app to controls iäand sound quality is excellent though. Weirdest past is, cmf buds pro 2/plus both have vastly improved ANC.
r/galaxybuds • Nothing ear (2024) vs Galaxy Buds 3 pro ->This^ I just went down this rabbit hole and everyone's opinions online varied wildly from my own in person experiences. I ended up keeping Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (pixel phone). I tried Pixel Buds Pro 2, JBL Tour Pro 3, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and Nothing Pro (2024).
r/Earbuds • Best wireless earbuds? ->CMF Buds Pro 2 has insane bass. Feels like you have powerful low end monster subwoofers playing into your head. Really feels like your head is vibrating.
r/Earbuds • Budget Bass Earbud Recommendations ->CMF Buds Pro 2 are hard to beat in their price range and hard if not impossible to beat in the bass department. If you want bass that feels like it's turning your brain into mush, they're the ones.
r/Earbuds • Alternatives for CMF Buds Pro 2, Is It Worth It? (Budget $80) ->Hi! This is my first ever post, but I wanted to give a quick and honest review of CMF Buds Pro 2 as an average earphones user. I'm not very knowledgeable in the audio tech bit, so I'm as clueless as can be when asked about specifics. This is MY experience with the earbuds for the while I've had it. **Doesn't mean yours will be the same.** Going onto the review itself: **Sound Quality:** These earbuds have AMAZING sound quality. Bass is amazing for me, you can adjust it to your liking as well in the app - a great perk. I'm a heavy alt/punk listener so this is perfect for me. The sound comes clear, and the instrumentals come out clean and solid. I'd genuinely give it a 10/10 in terms of sound quality when listening. **ANC & Transparency:** PEAK sound cancellation. I use them nonstop when studying, especially at uni or other packed/noisy places and it works amazingly. A bit of sound leaks through, but that's with no music playing. Otherwise, it's amazing. The transparency mode is good! Not as good as the latest apple earbuds, but still solid. Sound comes SLIGHTLY muffled when talking, but you can still hear others fine. I sometimes forget I'm wearing them if I'm not in active conversation, but they are a hindrance if you're talking to someone. **Battery:** This is where it goes downhill. My right earbud stopped charging past 85% after about the 4th month of owning them. This is apparently a (reasonably) common issue to have with these earbuds. I reset the case, placed it back in its case to charge, dusted the charging pins and the actual earbuds - nothing worked. And no, I don't even have LDAC on in the first place. I just accepted my fate at that point. My right earbud, at the time that I'm writing this, charges only till 75% now, and die much quicker than the left one. They still do their job, and last *okay* amount of time (2.5 hrs). I've contacted Nothing for a replacement earbud, even said I'll pay, but nope. You need to buy a whole new one. The playtime for the earphones with nonstop use tends to be 4-6 hrs on full charge (if your earbuds are healthy). **Appearance/Dial:** The case has been confused for a go-pro multiple times. It's actually kind of funny. I find the overall appearance of it very appealing, and lowkey sick. The dial is really nice, but not practical for pocket placement if you have the "long-press" or even just "press" to be any specific command e.g pause/play song. It also makes a much louder noise when you change the volume, than the actual volume of the song playing (could be just a me thing), so I just avoid using it all together. Good fidget tho, I'll give it that!! All in all, for the price point, which is reasonably high in the country I'm in for a broke uni student ($170), they're amazing sound quality, ANC, and bass. The battery life (without the case present on you) is a bit of a disappointment, especially with the faulty right earbud. I'm hesitant about buying them again because the battery of one earbud fucking up seems to be not just a one-off thing. Overall like 7.5/10 because of that. **TL;DR:** Amazing sound quality; clear vocals, good sound, and hard bass. Solid ANC, and good transparency mode. Falls a bit flat when it comes to battery with **earbuds only** (using it till the last drop of charge). Dial is cool, but didn't find it practical. Some come with faulty right earbuds that stop charging past a certain point. (If anyone knows how to fix this, please. That's the only fault I found). Hesitant purchase, but leaning more on would buy again. EDIT: Forgot to say, but the mic is also solid. Hasn't failed me so far, and I've gotten multiple times a comment abt how clear I sound despite it being wireless earphones! It picks up when you talk normal volume, or even lower decently.
r/CMFTech • CMF Buds Pro 2: Honest review after approx. 8 months usage ->personally using them 70% of the AirPods Pro second gen experience, good fit 6h+ of battery life, dual connectivity really good app, as for the sound there are very bass heavy https://preview.redd.it/mxemnovk1klf1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=31616653212c82d3cde6bb7a863d70e9f21e670d
r/PakistaniTech • Best ANC earphones/earbuds in Pakistan ->I personally I think cmf 2pro have better sound than plus
r/PakistaniTech • Wireless earbuds under 16k ->I’ve used a few pair but mainly rock Tozo G1, CMF buds Pro and SoundPEATS clear. Mainly I make sure anything I pick up has a gaming mode.
r/SteamDeck • What Earbuds do you use ->https://a.co/d/7DgXOUu CMF Buds Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds, Earbuds 60$ and will probably be 45 on prime day. I strongly recommend looking into these. Every high end tech youtuber loved them and for 50$ you are getting $200 airpod quality device. Great ANC and even better sound pass-through. Get this model. The revision in my opinion isnt as premium.
r/LegionGo • What headphones are you guys using? Preferably wireless. Legion go S. ->CMF buds pro - $60 USD no contest
r/GooglePixel • What earbuds are you guys using with your Pixel? ->Get the CMF buds pro if you don't have lhdc support in your phone. I had realme air 7 and my phone doesn't support lhdc so I forced it by audiocular codec changer to lhdc and 32bit96khz
r/headphonesindia • Please help me find the best earbuds under 6k ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
