CMF just launched a brand new earbuds — Buds Pro 2! The naming of the latest Nothing sub-brand offering suggests that it is the successor to the Buds Pro, however, it closely resembles the regular Buds instead. Regardless, let's discuss the latest CMF Buds Pro 2 further in this article, including its price in Nepal.

CMF Buds Pro 2 Overview

Design and Audio

As I mentioned, the overall design of the latest CMF Buds Pro 2 is more in line with the vanilla Buds than the previous Pro model. Given that, the earbuds come in an in-ear fit with an IP55 rating. On the other hand, the charging case does not have any sort of dust or water resistance. The charging case of the latest Pro model carries over the dial from the regular Buds, but it takes it up a notch. Previously, it was merely an aesthetic choice. This time around, it functions are a button to control the earbuds' feature. These earbuds rely on a combination of an 11mm bass driver, a 6mm micro-planar tweeter, an N52 magnet, and a copper voice coil to deliver all kinds of sound, including the Spatial Audio Effect. The tuning on these things is done by Nothing in collaboration with Dirac Opteo. Additionally, they are equipped with three microphones on each side to offer a clearer calling experience. The CMF Buds Pro 2 is capable of Hybrid ANC of up to 50dB, and Wind Noise Reduction with its unique wind-flow structure as well.

Features

Apart from all the noise-cancelling and reducing stuff, these buds also offer other handy-dandy features. The highlighting one of all is its first-in-the-industry Smart Dial, which I touched on when talking about its design. This dial can be rotated as well as pressed, and users can customise these actions to perform certain tasks such as volume adjustments, ANC control, Voice Assistant access, and such through the Nothing X app. Furthermore, users can enjoy five preset EQ modes or fiddle around to fine-tune the sound of these buds as per their liking in the app as well. Another interesting feature of the CMF Buds Pro 2 is ChatGPT integration. This allows you to tap into the AI model through voice commands. Other than that, these buds come with fast pairing, Ear Fit Test, In-ear detection, and Low Lag Mode with latency as low as 120ms with Nothing and CMF phones.

Battery

In terms of battery, you are getting 60 mAh cells on either bud and a larger 460 mAh pack in the charging case. With this, these earbuds can offer you up to 43 hours of combined playback. Similarly, the company says they offer 11 hours of independent playback. However, if you want to enjoy the CMF Buds Pro 2 to its fullest with LDAC and ANC turned on, the battery life drops to just over four hours on the buds. Even with the case, you will get 16 and a half hours of usage. When you do run out of charge, these earbuds can fully juice up in just 70 minutes. Likewise, you can get up to three hours from the buds by plugging it in for a mere 10 minutes.
