The CMF Headphone Pro is an amazing deal for the price

CMF, Nothing’s budget brand, just launched its first-ever over-ear headphones, called the CMF Headphone Pro. At a $99 price point, they are a lot cheaper than Nothing’s $299 Hadphone 1, but still promise serious performance.

The CMF Headphone Pros have a soft and rounded look, which is very different compared to the Nothing Headphone 1 and its boxy design. They also have plush earcups, a padded headband for comfort, and a new type of customization with $25 replacement cushions in the colors of orange and green.

The Headphone Pro doesn’t have touch panels, but it does have tactile buttons and a roller control for volume, playback, and ambient sound control. They also have a unique Energy Slider, which allows the ability to control bass and tremble adhesions instantly without the need for an app. You can also use the Nothing X app to customize the action button if you choose to.

Even at this price point, the headphones have a super long 100 hours of playback time without ANC and 50 hours with ANC on. These times actually beat rivals with 15 more hours of battery life than Nothing Headphone 1 and Sony WH-1000XM6. The headphones support quick charge, getting 4 hours of playback in just 5 minutes, and you can also charge them directly through smartphones with a USB-C cable.

The new CMF Headphone Pro has a strong mix of battery life, customization, and thoughtful design for the first price of $99. These headphones put pressure on both Nothing’s premium headphones and other competitors like Sony and Bose. It sets CMF as more than just a budget brand.

Would you choose these $99 CMF Headphone Pro over pricier models from Sony or Nothing? Do you think CMF is going to become a popular brand for headphones? Let us know in the comments!
