Verdict

The CMF Headphone Pro is an over-ear wireless headset featuring custom 40mm drivers with nickel-plated diaphragms and a large 16.5mm copper voice coil for punchy, high-clarity sound. Key technical specifications include Bluetooth 5.4 with LDAC support for Hi-Res wireless audio, hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) up to 40dB, and an exceptional battery life of up to 100 hours (50 hours with ANC enabled). Notable characteristics include a unique 'energy slider' for real-time bass and treble adjustment, interchangeable ear cushions for style customisation, and a lightweight 283g build with an IPX2 rating. While praised for its incredible value, superior battery stamina, and tactile controls, some users find the ANC performance less effective than premium rivals and note the lack of wear-detection sensors for automatic pausing.

What customers like about CMF Headphone Pro?

  • Exceptional battery life, offering up to 100 hours with ANC off and 50 hours with ANC on.
  • Support for high-resolution LDAC codec, which is rare at this price point.
  • Highly comfortable design with soft, pillowy ear cushions suitable for long sessions.
  • Replaceable ear cushions that extend the product's lifespan and allow for color customization.
  • Strong bass performance that is punchy and deep, appealing to 'bass-heads'.
  • Great value for money, frequently cited as one of the best options under £100/$100.

What customers dislike about CMF Headphone Pro?

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is decent for low rumbles but struggles with higher frequencies and sudden noises.
  • Transparency mode sounds somewhat unnatural and can have a slight muffling effect.
  • Lacks a wear-detection sensor, meaning music does not automatically pause when taken off.
  • The 'Energy Slider' for on-the-fly bass/treble adjustment is often described as a gimmick.
  • Build materials consist mostly of inexpensive plastic, which lacks a premium feel.
  • Does not fold for storage, though the ear cups do swivel flat for neck carry.
  • Equalizer options in the Nothing X app are basic compared to the advanced EQ on Nothing's flagship models.
