Nothing - Buds Pro Series

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).

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.

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.

I'm no earbud genius but I've been doing a deep dive into this recently because I needed a new pair. I ended up buying soundpeats capsule 3 pro and really like the sound quality. I think I might have to get larger silicone's though. The ones I have seemed to drop connection randomly when I first got them, the issue has stopped though so I'm not sure exactly what happened. I have an old pair of nothing 1's and they work great as well. Ultimately the only reason I went with the soundpeats was because they were on sale and 60 bucks cheaper than the nothing 2a. I really want the nothing 2024 version but I'll be waiting until I have a birthday or something because I'm too cheap to buy $200 earbuds just because I want to lol.

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.

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

Cmf Buds pro 2 is good

huawei freebuds pro 4, imho is the best. next is oppo enco x3i or oneplus buds 3

i have enco x3i. anc is amazing. i ride train every weekend. no complain from my wife. we usually on call for 6 hours while i was on train. my voices are clear but huawei freebuds pro 4 is better. trains noise factor is higher than busy street noise. oppo enco x3i = oneplus buds 3 (same product just different name) i bought huawei for 127usd and oppo for 67usd. i have also use others such as buds fe, liberty 4 nc. not good, voices are not clear. buds fe received very high rating for phone calls in rtings.com, but imho avoid, its bad. i bought 2, believing online review are dependable. on my search for clear call, now i owns, 2x buds fe, enco x3i, liberty 4 nc, buds pro, fiio utws5, 2x huawei freebuds pro 4. (so far huawei 0 complain) 🤣

I have the nothing buds i enjoy them comfort is 10/10 sound 10/10 they don’t fall out when working out. The only caveat I have is that they randomly pause not too sure why sometimes it happens once ever 45 seconds sometimes it doesn’t happen at all I noticed someone in the reviews saying the same thing but I also have a kind of old phone so.

CMF buds pro - $60 USD no contest

just received mine today. color blue cheap alternative but the audio quality is great!

I have the CMF Buds Pro 2 with my Pixel 9 Pro. Works really well!

I have CMF buds pro 2 for about 3 months now and I have had no charging or battery issues, I think the battery problem is an problem in your buds because mine work perfecrly

Would recommend cmf buds pro 2, lower price similar performance, nothing sub brand

Currently using CMF Buds Pro 2 with my 6a, they're quite comfortable and sound quality is good. Its noise cancelling does well at blocking lower frequencies, but leaves higher frequency noises like cars and rain quite isolated - lowkey feel like I should've gone for the Liberty 4 Nc's instead lol

I'm not sure about ear fun but One plus Is the first choice and even i used cmf buds pro 2 it was good but the only problem is that drivers are plastic that can affect your ears after a long time of usage ! In one plus nord 3 pro it's not plastic they use titanium drivers

Previously owned AirPods 1 and Soundpeats Air3 and am looking for an upgrade. I tried out the CMF Buds Pro 2 and personally did not like the fit feel, the audio was very air-ey, equalizer options were kinda bad, the case was bulky and I didn’t like the little audio wheel on it. It seems like most earbuds have the inner ear connecting part, which I feel easily fall out of my ears. What options are out there for me? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Adding to the CMF Buds Pro 2 chorus. They are fantastic for the price.

I'd get Marshalls earphones... I had buds pro and Marshalls are way better and cheaper...

Anc on buds pro is pretty good. Anc on buds pro 2 is amazing. Don't think many earphones will touch it

I got fairly small ears aswell. APP2 is pretty small Also CMF buds pro 2 are small also

I mean, if you want to stick with wired you could, you’d only need a headphone jack to USB-C adapter. That being said, Powerbeats Pro 2 is generally safe to recommend for those like you that have a hard time with them staying in. They are pricier, but they’re more of a no compromise product. Anker with their Soundcore brand make the Sport X lineup that I’ve heard some good things about. When it comes down to it, it may be a little bit of trial and error. For me, I find most earbuds to be fine if you wear proper ear tips. For example, AirPods Pro 2 and CMF Buds Pro 2 fit me very well with the right tips.

Oy 3.5 hours with noise canceling? I feel like my Nothing Ear and Ear (a) get almost 8

Not sure where the 0 for transparency comes from. I can hear everything like they aren't in but most of the rest I agree with. The CMF Buds Pro 2 (Nothing's budget brand) are incredibly good, too. If I didn't have Nothing Ear and Ear (a) I'd have gotten several pairs of those.

Cmf buds pro 2 hands down.

Can you clear my confusion on which should i pick? Price is not a problem but i want a good sounding tws with heavy bass and clarity currently I'm using cmf buds pro 2 they are amazing for their price but lack clarity i think. I have a few options nothing ear A/one plus buds 3/samsung galaxy buds 3/or nothing ear 2024.

Hey mate, I've just picked these up recently and have been messing around with things for only a little while, so take it with a grain of salt. Vocals are clear but the bass can be overpowering. I feel the bass can sound muddy, but don't feel they make the tunes sound worse than phone speakers at all. Might just need to mess around a bit with the EQ settings a bit more to get it closer to desirable preference. These aren't for the audiophiles (anything orchestral sounds pretty bad imo, so maybe skip it if you really love your strings) but I reckon they're a really good all rounder for the general price point. Call quality is great too. I've not been told that I sound underwater yet. For something that is a quarter of the price of my Sony xm4 headphones (which I love) I believe it's really good value. I picked up the orange ones to hide any dirtying and so I can spot it easy if I drop them anywhere, but this is purely a lifestyle choice for me lol.

Not before buying them, but I have to say they are way better than anything in this price point (that I had chance to try). From what I heard, it really helps when u turn of the ANC for calls.

Yes.

Try CMF Buds 2 Pro. I gotta be honest. I just spent $120 USD on a pair of Nothing Ear 2 and my $40 Simgot EW200 sound better. I'm thinking about returning the TWS earbuds. I wanted something that sound as good as my IEMs but with the convenience of wireless... But it's not even close. Much more detail with the $40 IEMs.

I had CMF buds pro 2 before I switched to momentum True Wireless 4’s. honestly can’t complain about the sound, the bass and ANC is very good you also get LDAC (if youre a apple music user this is a game changer) and you get Dirac Opteo preset too, I still have mine and honestly i still use them more than my sennheiser’s. So in my opinion you should go for the CMF’s but there might be better options too.

I just bought them and I'm very satisfied. You need to equalize it, it's a must. I have -6 in Bass, it's true there are bloody bassy. Fine decent in calls, I prove them in a crowded boulevard like Time Square. With music and people talking. They heard my voice in that hard scenario, wasn't crystal clear but pretty decent.

nope, my first impression was a muddy sound but you can equalize it, also nothing just launched a firmware upgrade. you won't regret

Nothing CMF Buds Pro 2 trust me It's worth it

Definitely in ear. On ear and over ear are gonna contribute to head sweat and stink up quickly. Airpods or Beats fit pro are the go to if you’re on iPhone. If you’re on Android then you have many, many options. Nothing Ear(a) and cmf buds pro 2 are great budget options. Galaxy Buds pro 3 (or 2 if you wanna save a buck) are good also. It really does come down to ear canal size and shape. You just need something with a good fit. Sound quality doesn’t matter too much to me when I’m working out. Buy using Amazon prime and take advantage of their lenient return policy. Just try them in your ears really quick, then box them back up if they aren’t immediately comfortable. Hope some of that helped ✌️🤘

Recently ordered the Nothing, Galaxy Buds, and Liberty 4 Pro together to compare. Kept the Galaxy Buds, returned the others. Was a tough choice to return the Nothing Buds - I actually preferred the sound on them to the others - but Samsungs were better for call quality and NC. Liberty was my least favorite for sound quality, but great for calls and 2nd best NC. I liked the screen on the case, but didn't actually use it much. In the end the Galaxy Buds won in part because they have the most compact case. Super portable.

CMF buds pro 2 are bass head earbuds with some good rumble to them, won’t get to that Skullcandy crusher level but close enough and better ANC, plus more convenient.

Out of these? The nothing buds are pretty good! If you can spend a bit more look at the AZ-100s. Absolutely insane how good they are

Currently experiencing this now. This month, I’ve tried - EAH-AZ100, Sony XM5, Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2, Jabra Elite 8 Gen 2, Pixel Buds Pro 2, OnePlus Buds Pro 3, Nothing Buds. I could not agree more. I’m currently testing the EAH-AZ100s against the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and Nothing Buds, and was going to make a post about it myself. I’m not sure what to think. The hype and price almost ‘ruin’ the AZ100’s. They’re just nowhere near as mind blowing as people make out, especially when you compare them to buds 1/2 or 1/3 of the price. As you said, If you put a gun to my head and asked me to pick, yes, I’d probably say the EAH-AZ100s are probably ‘best’ for the average person, but do I think they’re always the most enjoyable or best, absolutely not. I’d honestly say if I listened to 10 songs, maybe 4 of them sound best on the EAZ-AZ100s, 4 on the OnePlus Buds Pro 3, and 2 on the Nothings, and the difference between the Nothing Buds having 2 points and 4, is as you said, literally, literally like 5%. I found it very hard to decide between buds, it was one of the reasons I ended up testing so many. Similarly, I thought the XM5’s were literally the worst of all the ones I mentioned above, despite being near the top in their perceived premium’ness’. I genuinely would pick the Nothing Buds 10/10 times over them. That said, I am hoping to learn how to get more out of these EAZ-AZ100’s with the EQ, I’ve tried playing around with them but not really hearing this ‘mind blowing’ ‘blow your head off’ ‘rip your head in half’ quality tbh.

I wanted the buds pro 2,but it was too expensive for me rn, so I go with CMF buds pro 2 It's a bliss

Have the same pods & same colour Love Nothing buds.

Not anymore. I had 2 sets of Nothings. The newest ones and the opens. Both sets were disappointing, I gave them away awhile ago.

I Got this Buds at 2500 Rs only: Will Update the Sound quality and all after receiving. Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/x93la668bnsd1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b25266b9375f28432c0993f45a120edbe175fcaa

Thanks for the review man. Ordered mine not so long ago and been waiting very impatiently lol. I never had any buds and wasn't really up to spend 250+ on flagship ones. I hope these do blow them away like you say haha. I only need the ~BASS and ANC to make me happy.

I did. Bass is great. If you do get it you wont be dissapointed. The only problem i'm having is they don't fit my ear correctly, like none of the tips sizes. Some people recommended me to order OMNI tips which might help, so im waiting on those.

They don't fit my ears properly either man. Omni tips don't really help. I kinda gave up on them and don't use them anymore. I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but you could still try the tips. Maybe it would be different for you.

Melobuds Pro or CMF buds pro 2 for basshead.

I bought these recently on recommendation from a lad in store. WOW……for the price they are great. I have a more expensive set of Sony Soundsport buds but the CMF are as good for my uses and the USB-c charge case is great. They automatically switch On when placed in the ear and off again when taken out. They just work and pair and have good comfort, sound, and battery life. I would buy again.

[CMF Buds Pro 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/deals/comments/1hrd39y/cmf_buds_pro_2_earbuds_50db_anc_at_59_50_off/) is best in every aspect, calling ANC, sound 10/10 specially with in this price its 100% recommended

Just bought a CMF Buds 2 Pro and I am very happy with the choice. I listen to electronic music for training and the heavy bass really please me.

Was thinking getting a momentum 4. Isn’t that good at all? I got one CMF buds 2 pro because of the bass and liking it so far. Excellent for gym.

We have all 3 in the house. For me, it's the CMF Buds Pro 2 that is the overall winner. The Buds FE are my 'go-to' buds for the gym and the track - because of their 'wings' they stay in pretty much no matter what I get up to in any sweaty state. And the Melobuds Pro were a great buy that I use for general casual listening, and are a great secondary pair. Fabulous buds for the price!!

Can't comment about the OPB3, but we have the other 2 in the house. My preference between these other 2 are the CMF Buds Pro 2, but I reckon most people will be happy with either one. Both are really good value for their sound and features set.

I had 2 pairs of 3s. After the second warranty repair, they sent me 4s which I'm now on my second pair which need to send back. I've just bought a pair of the nothing buds because I'm in no rush to get a new set of momentum's now

Devices: RP4 Pro, PSP 3000 Game: Persona 3 portable Wallet: PS2 Wallet (found on Ali) I found that a good pair of wireless earbuds (cmf buds pro 2) coupled with some on ear clip ons (Audio-Technica ATH-EM7X) works best for me. Bought the Audio-Technica's as a big fan of persona, although not the exact same model used in game, they tunred out to have some decent audio quality and a lightweight feel on the ear for everyday use. ♫♪I WILL BURN MY DREAD♫♪

Cmf buds pro 2. The case has a smart Dial for music/Audio control functions (play, pause skip tracks, volume up & down)

I use the CMF Buds pro 2, I can use the dial that's on the case to control the volume, play/pause and skip tracks all while having my Go in my pocket with the screen off.

i got the CMF buds 2 Pro. They are quite descent tbh. Amazing bass but the clarity is a bit meh... If you absolutely love bass like I do, Those are ht best choice for like 50 bucks

The Earfun AP4 are a good option, but I actually prefer the CMF Buds 2 Pro. They were only $47.

I second this. I got my CMF Buds 2 Pro for $47 and they work pretty great with my iPhone. I am honestly shocked how good wireless earbuds can sound at this price. The ANC isn’t amazing, but still good enough to hear them while mowing the lawn or other loud environments.

Cmf buds pro 2 ended up on them after losing both a 2 pro and buds fe

I recently discovered CMF buds pro 2, I'm blown away with the quality and features of this model!

Love my CMF buds pro 2. The features to control them from the case means less phone pickups which is awesome. Reminds me of the days when pocket mp3 players were the rage.

Hey all i just brought it today itself , i felt like these are great but kinda smol in my ear voids yk it doesn’t arganomicly fit properly So should I change the ear tips instead If am right please do tell me …

CMF Buds Pro. Sold my Airpods 3 after this.

Better siya kasi daily ko ginagamit sa Facetime sa iPhone, then Zoom sa Windows laptop. Sa Digital Walker ko binili sa BGC Highstreet yung Buds Pro 2 po. Yung Buds Pro, sa Podium Mall.

The Buds Pro 2 are $60 on Amazon and IMO, well worth it. They were on sale last week for $47. Wait a minute, and they'll go on sale again

Frr Increase it to 12.5k an get CMF BUDS PRO 2 Cause that rotating dial is 🔥

Pixel7 and cmf buds pro 2 here: the best earbuds at a reasonable price that i ever had

CMF Buds Pro 2 are the best, just make sure you're getting the original one

13k ke box pack hein, mere pass black mein hein waise with box and all the accessories, even seal is on them still. if you can arrange, i can sell for around 11500. Totally new hein, lagta bhi nhi hein used hon

Using Cmf buds pro 2 for about a year maybe, I bought them twice! They are so damn good.

Bro i am personally using the CMF buds pro 2, i would definitely recommend buying them. (just make sure they are original)

I picked up the Sony c 510 for $50 on Jan 1. It has a well tuned bass. App has a pretty good hearing test. I have had good luck with Earfun :Earfun Air Pro 4 or Earfun Air 2 are both good. CMF Buds Pro 2 has a ton of bass, but picky audio on youtube had some good EQ tips. If you order it but cannot find the right video. Hit me up and I'll give you the basics.

I think the bass is extra strong. I did get a tip from the YouTuber Picky Audio. He said the CMF buds have a funky EQ that looks like a clock. If you put your finger at 12 and reduce it to 50% the tuning is very good. I don't like extra strong bass, but this tip made the CMF buds sound like they are worth a try.

These are way better than cmf I got both

bro please increase to 11000 and buy cmf buds pro

yes bro i have tried and they best earbuds in that price range in my opinion

bro in priceoye they are 11k

CMF Buds Pro 2. Decent quality, battery lasts a while and ANC for just $60.

Cmf buds pro 2 have the case which will do all of it, along with controles on each earbud.

Mine just arrived today I’d say the sound called this really really really great. However, the only problem I’m facing right now it is about the microphone. How do you connect it manually?

Been using it for a month. Mic is superb. Worth the price

Same!! Just received my pair today. They're the best imo, especially considering their price.

Be sure to have reliable exchange or return options. I recently had to return CMF buds twice and many are having issues with Moondrop tws products. Quality control is an industry wide problem.

I think cmf has the sound qualify better than the liberty

Bro please remove the protection peel

Because it is made to be removed? Great buds tho, been using them for 2 weeks and I'm blown away

This is what I use and love them. I have the Buds pros and and buds 2, but they always fall out of my ear. I haven't had that issue with these.

Right now the Earfun Air Pro 4 and CMF Buds Pro 2/2 Plus (I have the Pro 2). I use these more than my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, my Technics AZ80, and my Soundcore Liberty 4NC have been unused on my shelf for months since I got these. I've had a lot of them. Airpods, Beats, Jabra, Sennheiser, Samsung, etc. The Earfun and CMF take the cake for me. The Oneplus Buds 3 were great too but they hurt my ears after a while.

Any mass produced product will have issues. The question is which ones. This is the reason I firmly refuse to spend over $150 for a pair of earbuds. Right now, my main 3 are the Earfun Air Pro 4, The CMF Buds Pro 2, and the Technics AZ80 (I did not pay full price for these). The Earfun are my favorite, but I do have intermittent connection issues, but the CMF buds have been a great surprise for the $47 I paid for them. If I were you, I'd get some of the cheaper, well-regarded buds and try your luck. At least if you spend less than $100, you won't feel so bad if they crap out one day. I've had good luck with Soundcore in the past as well, and still like them as a company, but their current offerings don't seem to be moving anything forward. Not sure what features other than connectivity are important to you, but these sub-$100 have gotten really, REALLY good.

The skull candy Rail anc might work but if u really want Bass even though you want skull candy, you might want to try the CMF buds pro 1 and 2 have better bass than the Skull candy Rail Anc in my opinion

CMF Buds Pro 2. For a given definition of high quality, but if you're comparing to 4 year old airpods it'll probably be an upgrade in quality for a third of your budget.

Yea mine goes to 65 to 5 in less than 45mins now. The right bud! I didn't believe the people first, thinking it might have been their product issue but the whole series of CMF buds pro 2 has got this worst Battery! Best TWS with Worst Battery BackUp ever!

I'm getting ready to head out of the country in a few weeks. I really like BASS, LOUDNESS, and NOISE CANCELLATION (in that order) and would like to find a decent set of wireless bluetooth earbuds that would drown out some of the plane engine sounds and perhaps be OK to wear just mowing the lawn. My truck has a JL Audio 1000w stereo in it and I currently use a nice set of Astro A50a's when gaming on my PC, PS5 and listening to podcasts on my iPhone--so that should tell you that I like loud "thumpy" bass the most. My budget would be around $100 max. I ordered the CMF Buds Pro 2 & Tozo NC9 Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds from Amazon last night and they have already shown up at my house. I am hesitant on opening them because quite a few reviews I've seen online say that the Tozo's are cheap and the noise cancelling isn't really very good at all. The CMF Buds Pro 2 look like it might be a hassle just to carry around and keep out in the open all the time just to use the controls. So, the question goes like this: "If you had $100 right now to throw at ANY earbud that gets LOUD, has great BASS and helps reduce the noises of normal day to day activities--what would be your TOP 3 CHOICES (in order)?" If you would like to give a few reasons why you think this way or another--I would be interested to hear YOUR opinions as well. My motto goes something like this--"Turn that shit UP & as long as the wife, kids, and neighbors don't have to hear it, then it's within bounds". UPDATE: JULY 4, 2025-- I got bored & opened up both the TOZO 9NC & the CMF BUDS PRO 2 this afternoon. First, the CMS: These things get just loud enough for me. As a former artilleryman, I have been tested for hearings loss and let's just say I don't hear like a youthful 19-year old anymore. The bass sounded great, the noise cancelling was pretty darn good as well. Although I could turn them up all the way with the bass setting on 5 (its max), I could tell that these things were probably very close to what I'm looking for. I got them to pair with my iPhone & PC quite easily, but my PC only recognizes them as a MIC. Maybe I messed something up when I first booted them up while I was charging them with the cable connected to my PC, but now I'm sad that they don't output sound into the earbuds at all (no sound) like they did the very first time I turned them on. Does anyone know how to rectify this? If so, I'd like to hear how. As far as the CMF BUDS PRO 2 go, I like everything about them except I really have no use for the control box & I can't get sound from my PC wirelessly with bluetooth like I did with the charging cable. Next, I opened the TOZO 9NC and immediately noticed that they were very small. I couldn't figure out the right way to insert them into my ears. The TOZO app is not very good and it wasn't laid out nearly as nicely or intuitive as the one from that NOTHING offers. The sound coming from the TOZOs sounded "anemic as fuck" and I couldn't get them to sound anywhere as loud and powerful as the others. When it came time to put them back in the charging case, it took much longer than I expected because even though I thought they were in correctly I couldn't close the lid because they were actually turned around. *HERE IS MY DILEMNA:* *Although I liked the sound from the CMF BUDS PRO 2s, I am contemplating taking the next step further and just "upgrading" to either the Nothing Ear (a)s or the Soundcore Liberty NC earbuds instead.* I pretty much know that I'll like the Nothing Ears, (as long as they sound similar to the Buds Pro 2s), but I'm also willing to consider the Soundcores as well, since they have been recommended here on this thread the most. This is an especially "tricky" decision to make since both of the higher-tier buds cost exactly the same amount of money ($89.99 USD) and can be here sometime before this long holiday weekend is over. *Maybe I'll buy them both and just return the ones that I don't want come Monday morning.* *Of course, Amazon is going to hate me by then.* https://preview.redd.it/fbnjijknmyaf1.jpg?width=1473&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b80c9269d949300c7eabf728e4d3da7d90f9de91

CMF pro buds 2 are great. they have a low latency mode and are great for other stuff too

You can change eq to balanced, nothing buds are bland and dull sounding. No bass or trebal either

I also got them couple of days ago they're quit good

Doing the same research here but the budget is below 15k and thinking of getting cmf buds pro 2 for 13k

Already ordered cmf buds pro 2

Idk man so many recommendations get thrown around on this sub it’s so hard to keep track of stuff. I just yolo’d a pair of nothing buds because of a comment on how comfy they were so we’ll see how they work out I guess 🤷‍♂️

Cmf buds pro 2 are the best in that budget.

Recently used Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro and CMF Buds Pro 2 and more impressed with the quality of the latter

If they have the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC for $70 I think they are every bit as good as the Earfun, if not a little better because I really like the Soundcore app and I believe they have the HearID feature which tunes the EQ to your hearing and works pretty damn well (I have had several Soundcore buds so can't remember for sure if these have HearID). Also CMF Buds 2 Pro are good buds and I love the case with the multi function dial. Last I checked they were on sale for $47 on Amazon. The bass is quite heavy but you can mostly EQ it out. I've heard the newer CMF Buds 2 Plus sound better out of the box BUT they do not come with the multi function dial on the case and they cost about $20 more so I would prefer the 2 Pro and just EQing the bass down.

I have them nice headphones for price but the battery life sucks and the noise cancellation isn’t the best

I have it its pretty good for the price but the battery life kind of sucks I am using it for like 3 and a half and it’s at 40% and I am not even using noise cancellation.and the noise cancellation isn’t good it’s not terrible but it’s not good but they have good sound and bass. And the software only works when the case is open or the headphones are out of the case and connected by Bluetooth so if you lost them the only way to find them is by using the find my headphones and all it does is playing some sound and if you forget them somewhere your a f*cked

I have had Ear a's for a few months replacing my Sennheisers CX True Wireless Buds after a bad experience with them (left bud suddenly died / ticking sound after 3 or so years). 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've never had this problem with the Senns, listening for extended periods without having to put them back in the case. Nothing's sound quality is good though. Would I get my next buds from Nothing? No. Senns? No. Meanwhile, I have my wired Audio Technicas for 11 years now. They're a bit dilapidated but they still work and sound great. I guess I can't expect the same longevity from any wireless buds. Let me know if there are buds that have lasted you guys in the long haul. 3 years to me, like I had with my CX True Wireless, is too short for me.

I've been using the cmf buds pro 2 to talk to my friends and they work fine, they're inexpensive too

Ah I see, you're working in a different currency. I still stand by them for what I paid

Obviously way too many Apple fanboys/girls. CMF (Nothing) Buds Pro 2 are amazing value under £100 and with a unique control wheel on the case. The app is also super clean with Dirac and Spatial audio, they would easily be in the top 10 for me at any price. Sony XM are great but have premature battery failure issues. Jabra Elites are excellent if spending over £50. Samsung Buds Pro 3 are excellent under £100 with cashback offers. OnePlus and Huawei also severely underrated.

I have the cmf buds pro 2, they are absolute beasts, i had airpods pro 2 usb c in the past and the sound quality is on par, they are also bassy out of the box but you can deactivate the ultra bass which is set on level 3 out of the box, the anc is perfect and you also have LDAC and Dirac Opteo which is a complex audio correction engine, battery is also pretty good, very stable in ears since the design is identical to airpods pro 2, i personally recommend them and also personally love them, exceptional sound separation, not to say dual speakers(1 woofer, 1 tweeter) so crisp lows, mids and highs, you also have spatial audio option and many customization options and even the wheel on the case which can pause music, skip, reverse and rotate to slide the volume up/down, buy them!

Dont get these, sound quality is bad, anc sounds like temu earbuds and the battery only lasts max 2.5 hours and then they need to charge for an hour before you can use it again. Case also sucks doesnt really ahow you when its charging nor does it react quickly

The cheapest ones are as good as $150+ buds. The Pro's even better.

CMF buds pro 2 are really good, especially if you like bass

i went for the cmf buds pro 2

CMF Buds Pro 2 OnePlus Buds 3 Earfun Air Pro 4 Anker Soundcore Liberty 4NC Nothing Ear (a) These are best more affordable options. CMF Buds Pro 2 are the best value for money at £50
