Context: The CMF Clip Pro earbuds, a product of Nothing's sub-brand CMF, are open-ear earbuds designed for users who want to stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music. They were tested by technology journalist Andy Boxall to evaluate their performance, features, and value. The earbuds are priced at $99 and are available for purchase on Amazon and Nothing's online store.
Key Facts
- The CMF Clip Pro earbuds have a battery life of 10 hours and a charging case battery life of 32 hours, with Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
- The earbuds have an IP54 dust and water resistance rating, but the case only has an IPX2 dust resistance rating.
- The CMF Clip Pro earbuds are available in three colors: Light Grey, Dark Grey, and Coral, and can be purchased for $99 in the US.
- The earbuds' sound quality is suitable for spoken word and podcasts, but music lacks bass due to the open-ear design, and there is significant sound leakage.
