What reviewers said
CMF Buds by Nothing
The CMF Buds by Nothing deliver a feature-packed, budget-friendly true wireless experience with hybrid ANC, multipoint Bluetooth 5.3, and a bass-heavy sound signature. While they offer strong value with app support and customizable EQ, the noise cancellation can feel pressurizing, and the default tuning may require adjustment for balanced listening. Battery life is modest with ANC on, but the charging case extends total playtime significantly.
- Pro:Excellent value for the price
- Pro:Hybrid ANC and transparency mode included
- Pro:Multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 with low latency
- Con:ANC can create ear pressure discomfort
- Con:Default sound is overly bass-heavy
- Con:No aptX or LDAC codec support
Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2
Sennheiser's second-gen true wireless earbuds combine rich, detailed audio with effective noise cancellation in a premium, compact design. While the sound is polished and the feature set is solid, they lack multipoint connectivity and may not deliver perfectly neutral tuning for purists. Overall, they remain a compelling high-end choice for those prioritizing musicality and build quality.
- Pro:Excellent, refined sound quality
- Pro:Effective noise cancellation
- Pro:Premium, comfortable design
- Con:No multipoint connection
- Con:Sound not perfectly neutral
- Con:Touch controls can be finicky
