CMF Headphone Pro Drops to All-Time Low of $69
Nothing’s budget-focused subsidiary, CMF, has earned a reputation for delivering stylish, affordable gadgets with premium features. The CMF Headphone Pro—the company’s first over-ear wireless headphones—aligns perfectly with this strategy, now available at an all-time low price of $69 (down from $99) on Amazon in both light gray and subtle green shades.
Design and Customization
Unlike Nothing’s retro-transparent designs, such as the Headphone 1, the Headphone Pro features smooth curves with circular earcups, cushioned ear pads, and a plush headband. For added personalization, CMF offers interchangeable cushions for $25, currently available in orange or green.
Controls and Audio Features
The Headphone Pro avoids touch-sensitive controls in favor of physical buttons, including a customizable action button and a multi-function roller for playback, volume, and settings adjustments. A standout feature is the Energy Slider, which lets users adjust treble and bass balance on the fly without using the app.
The headphones also support Google Fast Pair and the high-quality LDAC codec for superior audio performance.
Battery Life and Noise Cancellation
The Headphone Pro delivers up to 100 hours of battery life per charge, dropping to 50 hours with adaptive ANC enabled. This outperforms premium models like the Sony WH-1000XM6 (40 hours with ANC) and Bose QuietComfort Ultra (30 hours with ANC).
