CMF, a budget brand of Nothing, is here with their new CMF Buds Pro 2! Sure, they only sell “pro” earbuds, but why have non-pro earbuds if you have the skills to make professional TWS earbuds? James is here to see if there’s really any reason to spend more than $60 on your next auditory listening devices.

  3. this stuff is like wow, all of it. you are tapping a case that connects to your phone and controls music. I used to have a phone that could hold 10 text messages. All of this is amazing, like about 100 years ago no one had the luxury of a shower and now we can compare if a bud in your ear can play your music by tapping it etc. We live in a very amazing age of "wow" and I do not think many notice it 🙂 Thanks for the video, loved it

    One of the reviewer of CMF Buds Pro 2 said that when air blows on the buds ANC switch Off. Can you please test and share the result in the ANC modes (High, Med, Low & Adaptive)

    Fun fact: Dialling people’s numbers because old "landline" phones i.e. phones that were plugged into copper wires and then the wires went everywhere on earth on tall poles so birds could poop from the wires hence landlines – those actual phones had big radial dials with holes and numbers and you put your finger in the hole and turned the dial and did it for every digit of the phone number. Those devices are long gone but you can still buy novelty versions and antiques – and they still work because landlines are still a thing, but thats where the phrase "dialing" a number comes from. Thanks for coming to my ted tawk.

  7. Notice that theres no graphs from ltt labs. This one is 100% paid unfortunately. Cant trust Carl Pei with understanding audio.

  8. You’ve barely explored the app’s features, haven’t tested ANC or calls, and you want to make blind reviews?Have you been paid by any competing companies? Other channels have already done reviews and the headset is above average for the price.. Not only other channels, but the audience that bought it only praise.

    Bro, I recently started using an AirPod Pro2 in the shower! That’s hilarious

  12. Just the fact that you can disable transparency is a huge win – can’t stand this feature…

  13. Yes there is, to have a smaller charging case. Surprised Apple is the only one that has a perfect size and shape for all their wireless ear buds

  14. I bought these after one of my Beats Studio + broke at work and I like them a lot more.. I paid $180 for those earbuds at the time. I think this product is going to put Nothing on the map. I miss my days of tinkering with budget android phones and swapping them out on Metro PCS and they seem to get that vibe

  15. I bought these in July last year. The right earbud now depletes at nearly 3x the rate of the left, and the Bluetooth has recently become spotty as hell for some reason – connection going in and out if my phone is in my back pocket instead of my front.
    Stay far away from these cheap things.

  19. Hello , i want to buy The Best buds for sound quality and clearness (not bass , i usually listen to classic and instrumental music)
    Which one do you prefer
    Cmf buds 2 pro or anker liberty 4 nc

  20. 4 month in using those and they are so, god, damn, amazing. The case dial is the game breaker for me, just having it strolling around and clicking to change songs or volume adjust – perfect.

  21. How can you spend all that time on what they look like? If you think earbuds make your outfit… you are in trouble.

  22. who has a laptop its 2024 LMFAO

  23. I’ve got mine since yesterday, not realizing it was nothing’s budget brand. I’ve got it for 45€. After turning down the bass, hell it’s a great pair of headphones. And I’m a professional sound engineer with 200€ Studio headphones and several thousand € speakers for the reference.

    Man these buds are soo good! I love me a dream theater song with the right balance of mids and high with a punch in the bass. Best purchase so far this year!

    If you want to use your earbuds in the shower for when you listen to breakcore and dissociate so you can get a few moments of respite away from your dread of returning to office on Monday; get yourself some LG Tone Free TF8s.

  28. CORRECTION: We used the Nothing Phone (2a) instead of the usual phone we keep on set and didn’t realize that the mic test was using the phone’s microphone instead of the earbud’s microphone. We’ve uploaded a better mic test here and removed the original one from the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/TxBlqX1nsV4

    Sorry for the confusion! We’ll make sure this doesn’t happen in future videos. – Bell

    Can someone please tell me how long-lasting the Buds are? I saw some terrible reviews on Amazon, so I’m reluctant to purchase them.
