Nothing - Buds Pro Series

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.

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

I personally I think cmf 2pro have better sound than plus

Cmf Buds pro 2 is good

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.

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) 🤣

CMF buds pro - $60 USD no contest

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

For anyone who might see this, I ended up going with the CMF Buds Pro 2’s. I use them for work and they function perfectly. After the initial manual connection, they pair automatically every time. And all of the physical functions of the earbuds/case work on the A55 (play, pause, skip, etc.). I recommend setting up the earbuds with your phone too to customize some of the functions. Audio is a little muffled compared to my wireless IEMs, but works fine for my use case. :-)

I’m enjoying the CMF Buds 2 Pro quite a bit; great feature set in terms of transparency and ANC for only $60 or so.

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

Sound downgrade for sure, however you will get better anc and an equal sound with the cmf buds pro 2 way cheaper, unless ur in need of the translation and heartbeat function u should for sure go for the cmf

I got these like the 2nd of this month I was so excited. Far to say they exceeded expectations! The spatial modes are great! I use the cmf buds pro 2 typically which i love but they get so nasty quickly and they fall out of my ears easily. I was going to gets nothing headphones but when cmf released these I launched at them. I have had jbl headphones and skull candy and razer and even bose at one point. They were either heavy or cheap or the noise cancelation sucked. I hated the airpods pros 1 and 2 and threw them in the garbage. CMF has been the best tech brand I have purchased from. They are consistent with quality and sound. Their app is so user friendly and it doesnt require 16 different bloatwares or subscriptions. I have been using these since yesterday on ANC and they are on 45% right now. Outstanding... Thanks CMF for yet another amazing product. 🫶

I did indeed. I had started with the orginal airpod pros at the beginning of my sophomore highschool year. They didnt have bass. They had ZERO equalizer control. Then my left bud started messing up randomly. It first was with transparency. It was whistling in my ear and then after a while the ANC started messing up too. The ear piece fell off the main part of the body. Only after like 2 years of ownership. By the time i got out of school i got these cheap jbl buds hated them. Got bose the ANC was like horrible for the price so i returned them then bought the Buds pro 2. I have had them since the start of this year. Anyways Then the airpods pro 2 just felt like a waste it was the same situation before with the lack of control and no bass. Someone bought them off me. The CMF buds pro 2 fixed all those issues not to mention they are durable (at least from my experience) the only draw back was the ANC. The airpods pro ANC is the best I have had. On a plane no noise. Construction no noise. The CMF buds pro 2 have really good ANC for their price range especially compared to the airpods pro.

Good. I live by a construction zone and I listen to music and watch Netflix on my balcony. It cancels out like 80% of the noise when. Watching a show or movie I can still somewhat hear it when there is a quiet scene. Music playing i pretty much never hear anything around me. When nothing is playing it kinda feels like you are wearing a pair of ear muffs. They definitely cancel out alot of noise but there is definitely better ANC out there. I will say they cancel more noise than the CMF buds pro 2 atleast to me anyways.

I definitely see the lack of loudness and bass. I have adjusted alot of the settings to make it better 😭 I am just happy to have decent ANC over the ears that work with the rest of my ecosystem. I got mine for 85$ too so I feel like i definitely got my moneys worth. I wouldn't pay 150$ for sure. The noise canceling is definitely better for me than my pro 2s but that could just be my greasy ears.

No. Most definitely not. These are good headphones but they aren't punchy like the CMF buds pro 2 or a pair of skull candy headphones. The bass is there definitely its just not what you would expect out of a bass slider or energy slider. It is disappointing.

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.

They are alright, cmf buds pro 2 are much better value for money though

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

I have the cmf buds pro 2, they are the best

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 ✌️🤘

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.

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

Wired: IEMs with a DAC or Redmi Dual Driver Buds Wireless: CMF Buds 2 Pro 3 of my friends bought it after using mine.

Melobuds Pro or CMF buds pro 2 for basshead.

It's simple for basshead, CMF Buds Pro 2.

If you're a basshead and want to spend smart, I really recommend the CMF Buds Pro 2. I use them myself, the bass hits crazy levels without distorting, and the details stay super clean thanks to that micro planar tweeter. Honestly, they're insanely good for the price.

Try the CMF BUDS PRO 2. They're a budget line of the British brand Nothing. They're freaking feature packed. ANC that really works. DIRAC which is like Dolby sound, so the soundstage is immersive and incredible. Spatial audio, that can be turned on and off, and LDAC. It works with a fully customizable app and the case also has a fully customizable dial (that controls volume and fwd, back, etc). Dual device connection. 11 mm bass driver and 6 mm tweeter. 50db hybrid active NC. 6 HD mics with clear voice AI technology. IP55. YES IP Fifty-FIVE! You can probably shower in these suckers. I haven't tried yet. The App has Ultra Bass mode, 6 EQ modes as well as a customizable mode. They also have a "find my buds" feature. The case can only he charged via USB C, but seeing as how everything ypu get is only $59, I can live with that!! I'd pit these against my Galaxy Buds Pro 3 which I paid full price for ($189). To me, they sound every bit as good. I feel better about wearing them around compared to the Galaxy Buds which tend to fall out. Not too many people have heard of Nothing or CMF, but they're a seriously good product. They also make phones, watches, and headphones too, if you're curious. No, I don't work for them. I am just seriously impressed at how much Nothing/CMF has managed to pack into this budget set of Buds. I also have the Baseus Bass BP1 Pro. I just got them out of curiosity. Absolutely no comparison to CMF. Baseus is good in this price range, but not compared to CMF. TRUST ME. Drop $59 on Amazon, and get them same day in most cases, and hear your music extremely clear. 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. Your listening experience is only as good as the music, so try some 60's and 70's music. 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.

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.

The cmf are definitely a no go, I had them and returned them the next day. Anc is absolutely rubbish. Loved the liberty 4 nc when I had them.

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'll make it easy for you: Soundcores: superior ANC and sound quality. Best of the 3 in that regard, but the app, extra features and controls scheme don't really add to the experience. If anything, it detracts from the experience slightly. CMF: Good bang for your buck but the worst of the 3 in terms of performance. But I believe you can get the Soundcores for about the same price since they've been out a while. OnePlus: good sound quality and ANC, but not on same level as the Soundcores. However, all other features (spatial audio, EQ, call quality, transparency, app UI, earbuds control interface, etc) are noticeably better than Soundcore's. It's just a much more polished product. But it's also more expensive. My recommendation: if you have to choose between these 3, go OnePlus. But if you can afford to wait and save up a little more, I'd wait until the OnePlus Buds 4 Pro come out because those usually make the previous model forgettable.

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

It will depend on your budget OnePlus buds 4 are the expensive ones here I think, they are great sounding earbuds, with great ANC too, clear sound and some good features. If you have a OnePlus Phone a No brainer. The liberty 4 NC are awesome to, in the middle on price, very good on everything for the price, pretty nice app for some Customization, will enjoy them for sure. If you want the cheapest option I think the CMF will not dissapoint you, if you like Bass this are for you, they have the most bassy sound signature of this with a Bass boost even on the app, the most customizables and the case I think have some options to to control the earbuds. Any of those will give you a great experience, it will depend mostly on how much you want to spend. Best overall OnePlus buds 4 Best value Liberty 4 NC Best if you love Bass CMF buds 2 pro.

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.

So far cmf buds Pro 2 (used 3 weeks) this buds is first try to buy a cheap buds for nap, and trash... I find out their IT tech is petty good, i.e multi point pull connect, never saw that in my more expensive buds, for the sound, I not fix that with wavelet (auto eq) not sound sweet as my other buds, but is usable.

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.

Cheap, multipoint connection with my phone, and the low-latency mode works perfectly!

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 🔥

I used this site recently and picked up a pair of CMF Buds 2 Pro from JB. $99 at the time. I found them a bit too bassy for my liking, so I have the "enhanced vocals" preset selected in the accompanying Android app. On the subject of eartips I'm still using the stock ones with these, but I have used Spintips W1 in the past and liked them a lot.

I recently got the CMF Buds 2 Pro (CMF is a child brand of the Android manufacturer Nothing) and I'm really liking them. I paid $99AUD for them, so they're much cheaper than Airpods or Sonys etc, but still punch way above their level.

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

After using cheap wired earbuds all my life, I've been trying to look for some good wireless earbuds, preferably under $150. What I did not anticipate, however, was how uncomfortable most earbuds would be for me. I've tried out the soundcore p40i and cmf buds pro 2 (mainly because of the price point and interesting case gimmicks, but I can live without those) and found out that they hurt my ears after about an hour. The problem is NOT the ear tip since those are customizable, but instead the large plastic part of the earbud right after the tip. This was pressing against the area above the opening to my ear canal. This is a rather specific problem, so I'd like some help finding any earbuds that don't have this issue. Would still like them to be in-ear though since I want them to feel secure. My must-have features are decent ANC and multipoint connection. A low latency mode would also be nice. Thanks for the help!

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.

CMF BUDS PRO 2

Ooh nice I replaced my SoundCore buds With the CMF ones.

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

From a person who loves good audio and not rich I have the sound peats engine 4 (30 dollars usd) They have a ipx 4 rating so they perfect for the gym They have good clarity separation for the price But what i love about them the most the bass on these is crazy Trust me just get the sound peats engine 4 and dont look back Sense you have a high budget you could buy/try 3 -4 sub 40 usd earbuds see what you like then get a more expensive tws Cmf buds pro 2 i have loved them bass even better clarity better then sound peats engine 4 but double the price 60 but the software iffy kinda ruined the bass on the ear buds after i updated it

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.

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.

Aussie dollars or USD? The current forum favorite for $75-100 (USD) buds are the OnePlus Buds 4. You can usually find them on Ali for about $75 USD, which is about $120 AUD. They have very good sound, amazing mics, very good ANC, and good other specs. Other good options include: Soundcore Liberty 4NC or 5 (if you have the budget for them). Very good all-arounders with OK sound. CMF Buds Pro 2. Fun controls with a click wheel on the case, and really good sound with dual drivers and tons of bass. There have been some reports of the CMF having battery problems, though I haven't experienced them. Just make sure you buy some place where returns or warranty returns are relatively easy. If you're willing to try something different, I like the QCY MeloBuds N70. They have MEMS drivers for very fast, precise high frequency reproduction, and a nice big dynamic driver for bass. They also have very good ANC and just-fine mic. Now, their app is pretty bad, the case is kind of annoying to use, and touch controls are tough because the area to touch is pretty small. But you're getting $150-$200-level sound quality for $50 USD. These things should all be available to ship to Brisbane. I don't know about buying in person. The OnePlus should be available, but I'm going to guess they're going to be out of your price range in a retail store. The QCY is not going to be available in stores. JLabs are generally known for being... OK budget buds. I've not tried the pop+, but I think you're going to get OK-ish cheap buds for your money.

"precision" -- so really good timing, clarity and frequency response, especially in the highs. I'm not a super sparkly-treble kind of guy, I am a clarity guy, and all my MEMS buds have that in spades. Pretty much all my MEMS buds need lots of EQ in the treble, because there's just so much there. [https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-listened-to-wireless-earbuds-with-xmems-drivers-and-theyve-set-a-new-bar-for-me/](https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-listened-to-wireless-earbuds-with-xmems-drivers-and-theyve-set-a-new-bar-for-me/) [https://speakerdriver.com/articles/?articleid=what-is-xmems-driver-earbuds](https://speakerdriver.com/articles/?articleid=what-is-xmems-driver-earbuds) I think you can get a lot of the same sonic benefits from planars (my only buds with planar drivers are my CMF Buds Pro 2, which have "micro-planar" drivers), but MEMS are smaller and more electrically efficient, so that should help with battery life.

Lots of buds allow you to turn off the on-ear controls, either by selecting an in-app option that turns them off temporarily (my QCY Melobuds N70 have a "sleep mode" that turns off the touch controls for one use), or permanently. Some buds have an in-app toggle switch that turns off all controls (like my SoundPeats Capsule 3Pro+); others allow you to program each touch gesture to "nothing" (like my OnePlus Buds Pro 3) Really many, if not most, buds, allow you to do this. So maybe take a look at some buds you're interested in, or give us a price range and we can make some recommendations, and then we can look to see if you can turn touch controls off. My CMF Buds 2 Pro don't allow programming for the first touch (since it has a click wheel on the case). My Liberty 4 Pros have controls on the case, too. I think you can turn the touch controls off.

I like the CMF Buds Pro 2 a lot. They have surprisingly good sound and a nice soundstage, especially at the price. And having the click wheel on the case is fun. I don't like that you can't command the buds with a single tap, and the click wheel sometimes activates in my pocket when I'm carrying it around. And they're not for people who like neutral audio signatures -- they're pretty V shaped. I have the OnePlus Buds 3 *Pro*, which I think makes them a little higher quality in sound, feel, and features from the regular OPB3, so I don't know if I have a good comparison. (I think my Pro 3's are better than the CMF in a lot of ways, but that could be because of the Pro features. They're also double+ the price of the CMF). My other recommendation of buds in this price range is the QCY Melobuds N70. They're very surprisingly good, especially at the \~$50 USD range. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1n7kqiy/final\_xmems\_showdown\_with\_qcy\_melobuds\_n70\_theyre/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1n7kqiy/final_xmems_showdown_with_qcy_melobuds_n70_theyre/) I think the QCY buds themselves feel a little less cheap, have better overall clarity and balance, have more responsive and clear highs (which are not sibilant but can get a tad fatiguing if you don't EQ them down), and they have a few more features (wireless charging, more customizable controls). I think the CMF Buds have a nicer case, better and more functional app, and I *feel like* the soundstage is maybe a little wider. But I haven't done A-B testing of the two back to back, so that could just be my imagination. There are rumors flying around here that Nothing and CMF buds are more likely to have battery drain/loss problems. I haven't had that experience, but I rotate my buds out pretty frequently, so I don't feel qualified to comment one way or another.

I have the Nothing (2024), the CMF Buds Pro 2, and the CMF Buds Pro 2a. General thoughts: Their app is really great. Their styling is really great. They are generally tuned toward bass-loving, v-shaped loving folks. There are also more reports than average about early battery degradation. I don't know how true that is, especially in comparison to other brands, but it's been reported here enough to make me a little concerned, especially for people who "want to use the buds 6 days a week, 8 hours a day, every day and want them to last for 5 years." **Nothings:** Great value for money; nicely balanced features. Such good sound customization and EQ possibilities that it really helps picky listeners; maybe not so much for novices or people unwilling to play with settings. Pretty dang good sound quality, with a nice soundstage. ANC is ... meh; mic is good. Sounds like the (3) have marginal improvements, though I think the "super mic" in the (3)'s case is pretty dumb. **CMF Pro:** Basshead buds for sure, but pretty fun to listen to. The click wheel is fun, but is a bit of a gimmick (especially since it activates in my pocket all the time). One of my big recommendations for sub-$50 buds when they're on sale. **CMF 2a:** Appreciably worse than the 2 Pro, especially in sound. They're still OK, but I think I probably like the other ultra-affordable buds (like the Baseus BP1 Pro or Tozo NC-9) better in the ultra-affordable space.

I think cmf has the sound qualify better than the liberty

cmf buds 2 pro have very bad battery issues

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.

You can find them for around €100 on Amazon, I tested the classic air7s, but the pro ones have real superior quality. What I criticize about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is that when you walk you hear an impact noise in your ears because of your steps, whereas you don't have this problem with the Realme. And the ANC is excellent on the Realme, as is the audio quality. I was able to try the nothing ear(a) and the cmf buds pro 2 but the ANC and the audio quality are much worse.

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

I had my CMF buds pro 2 during the last year, and to me they were amazing for their price. For around 60€, the sound quality is really good, the app allows for a lot pf adjustments, and the ANC works really well. Unfortunately I lost the charging box. So now I ordered the latest model of theirs, the CLF buds plus 2. I’m happy with the quality for the money that it costs

I got the nothing buds 2 for like $17

Have the CMF and OnePlus. OnePlus are superior.

CMF Buds 2 Pro, more than reliable. great earbuds regardless of the price range

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

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.

CMF have poor detail, ignore the hype. At that price the EarFun Air Pro 4s are the best bet.

When you listen to the sound will be missing bits, an instrument won't typically play pure harmonics, there will be variance in the sound. The CMFs will lose a lot of those variances. Otherwise known as clarity.

I'm super happy with my CMF Buds Pro 2, and testing them against my friend's Airpods (newest model), they just sounded better—more energy, no matter what I did with the EQ.

Cmf buds pro 2 and oneplus buds 4 are basshead certified imo! 

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!

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

I can vouch for cmf being worse lol.

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
