CMF Buds 2 Plus 2025 New Wireless Earbuds Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Hi-Res Audio Bluetooth Headphones, 12mm Drivers for Deep Bass, 50dB ANC 61.5H Playtime, Sport Ear Buds with 6 Mics, Blue

I'm normally an all Apple guy. I have AirPods Pro 2, but sometimes Apple's system of connecting to new devices bothers me. For that reason I keep a separate set of buds for Android devices, my Nintendo Switch, and work calls. After seeing a lot of positive reviews on these I decided to upgrade from my CMF Buds (1st generation). For this review I'll be comparing these to the AirPods Pro 2 that cost about four times as much.The sound quality on these is quite good. The bass is a little more boom-y relative to the AirPods, which some people might enjoy. The important thing is that I could really only tell that there was a difference when I was doing back and forth comparisons. They are a clear upgrade if you're on the CMF Buds 1st generation. If you're listening to a good song, you're going to be happy with the audio quality.The noise cancelling is good, but again not as good as the AirPods. I felt a little more of that active noise cancelling "Pressure" on these. Still, they did a great job of cancelling out the noise of my window AC units. The ANC is effective thanks to a very good fit in my ears. The battery life seems good and with the charging case I have no worries that I'll be without headphones.I am amazed at how far wireless headphones have come in the past few years. I would say they are 80% as good at the AirPods Pro 2 at 25% of the price.

I was almost tempted to get the main Nothing brand earbuds but I'm so glad that I did some more research and found their "cheaper" sister brand CMF. For this price range, it's kind of crazy that they're able to pack in so many solid features with an already amazing base package here.The sound quality is really great and pretty customizable as well through their app. The EQ settings are good enough for most casual listeners and get you to the sound that you'd wanna hear. The bass is very overtuned and I highly recommend turning it down or even just straight up turning off the Ultra Bass option, and this is coming from someone who enjoys bass lol. Once you get that settled, the sound stage is very open and all the instrumentals and vocals come crisp and clean.It's fit great, I only noticed a tinge of discomfort after a few hours of wearing it. For me the large ear tips work great and they don't go too far into the ear. Also it can last a good couple hours even with the ANC turned on before you have to put them back into the case. The ANC itself is also pretty good, not the best but at this price range, it's fantastic and you can't really ask for much.Overall, highly recommend.

These are comfortable and sound great! The mic is really good, too. The battery last forever, which is so nice.The only downside is that there is NO SINGLE PRESS CONTROL. There is no option to play/pause with a single press. They have double and triple press for forward and back, press and hold for ANC, and double press and hold (no default). You can change the short presses to play/pause, but no other controls. Single press is really a basic feature that should be a given.I rant, but overall these are good earbuds. I am hoping they will see this and other reviews and add a single press option.

These are my first fully wireless earbuds and I have been very impressed. Audio quality is great overall, and I'd say especially great for the price. Bass can be a little heavy if that's not your thing but is easy enough to adjust in the app.Fit my ears great right out of the box. Didn't bother trying different size ear tips.Very comfortable. I wear them for 2+ hours straight without issues.Battery has been fine and I am using them with what I think is the most power demanding settings (LDAC enabled and dual connection). I've had them for almost 4 months now and haven't seen any signs of battery degradation but will keep an eye on that and revise later if it becomes an issue.Dual connection works well between phone and laptop. Delay between the auto device switching could be a click faster but works fine as is.Case has a nice soft finish. Earbuds themselves feel solid. I accidentally ripped one out of my ear while on my bike and it was fine after hitting the pavement hard.The personal sound profile didn't work that well for me. Using a custom EQ was better personally.
