Nothing CMF Buds Pro 2

The reviewer finds the CMF Buds Pro 2 offer impressive value for their low price, with a unique smart dial control and strong bass-heavy sound, but notes the default tuning is overly bassy and the touch controls are unreliable.

The reviewer finds the CMF Buds Pro 2 to be a strong contender under $100, offering notable improvements over the previous model like LDAC support, multipoint connection, and better noise cancelling, while maintaining a comfortable fit and unique case dial controls. However, unreliable wear detection and a few minor quirks keep it from being perfect, though it still ranks highly among its peers.

The reviewer is highly impressed with the CMF Buds Pro 2, praising their exceptional sound quality, solid ANC, and unique smart dial case, all at a budget-friendly price. He considers them his go-to recommendation for affordable ANC earbuds, noting they offer features typically found in much pricier models.

The reviewer compares the CMF Buds Pro 2 and Buds 2 Plus, concluding that the Pro 2s are the better choice despite the Plus having longer battery life. The Pro 2s offer superior sound quality and unique case controls, while the Plus only wins on battery life and a slightly lighter weight. The reviewer recommends the Pro 2s unless extended battery life is a priority.

The reviewer finds the CMF Buds Pro 2 to be an exceptional value at $59, claiming they surpass other true wireless earbuds in their price range and even compete with Apple's AirPods Pro in some aspects. While noting some minor drawbacks like the lack of wireless charging and fit issues for smaller ears, the overall impression is highly positive, especially regarding audio quality and features for the price.

The reviewer used the CMF Buds Pro 2 for a year and finds them a great value for the price, offering solid ANC, an IP55 rating, and a unique case dial, but notes poor touch controls and audio sync issues as drawbacks. Overall, they rate them 85% worth the price, recommending them for budget buyers who don't rely heavily on touch controls or video editing.
