The budget-friendly earbuds are equipped with transparency mode, an adjustable EQ, and numerous premium features. It’s not every day you find a decent pair of wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and app support for less than $20, which is why the current lighting deal on the CMF Buds 2A stands out. Available on Amazon in all three colors for just $19.99 ($29 off), matching their lowest price to date.
For the price, the Buds 2A cover the basics and then some. They deliver decent (albeit somewhat tinny) sound and 42 decibels of noise cancellation, an IP54 rating, and a useful transparency mode. They offer eight hours of battery life per charge with ANC disabled—or up to 35.5 with the included charging case—and feature four onboard mics enhancing voice call quality with noise reduction tech. Voice clarity may not be their strong suit, but they’re a $20 pair of earbuds.
Like the rest of Nothing’s entry-level earbuds, the 2A also works with the Nothing X app, offering flexibility hard to find at this price. Through the app, you can tweak EQ settings, adjust the bass response, switch ANC modes, or enable multi-device pairing. There’s also a “find my earbuds” feature and an option to assign a gesture to activate your phone’s virtual assistant. If using a Nothing or CMF phone, you can access ChatGPT directly through the earbuds using your voice.
