CMF has produced its first over-ear wireless headphones, the CMF Headphone Pro, which offer adaptive noise cancellation, tactile controls, and up to 100 hours of battery life. Known for creating affordable products with high-end features, CMF’s headphones are available on Amazon at a reduced price in light gray and subtle green for $69 ($30 off). The Headphone Pro features a curved design with circular earcups and a plush headband, deviating from Nothing’s typical retro-transparent aesthetic. Additional color options are available with interchangeable cushions sold separately for $25.
The headphones replace touch-capacitive controls with physical buttons, allowing for easier control of playback, volume, and settings via a customizable action button and multi-function roller. An Energy Slider allows users to adjust treble and bass levels without using an app. Offering an impressive 100 hours of battery life per charge, the headphones still provide 50 hours of usage with ANC enabled—outlasting higher-end models like Sony’s WH-1000XM6. Supporting Google Fast Pair and the LDAC codec, the Headphone Pro is a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers.
Alternatives worth considering include the Beats Solo 4, which offer 50 hours of battery life, Find My support, and the signature bass-rich Beats sound, and Sony’s WH-CH520, providing great value with 50 hours of battery life, voice assistant support, and Bluetooth multipoint capabilities.
