CMF Buds 2 Plus 2025 New Wireless Earbuds Adaptive Noise Cancelling Hi-Res Audio Bluetooth Headphones 12mm Drivers for

The CMF Buds 2 Plus are seriously impressive. The 50dB adaptive noise cancelling blocks out background sounds extremely well, making them perfect for the gym, travel, and work. The sound quality is excellent — deep bass from the 12mm drivers and clear vocals with Hi-Res audio support. Calls are super clear thanks to the 6 mics, and the battery life is outstanding at over 61 hours with the case. The fit is comfortable, and the Bluetooth connection is strong and stable. Overall, these earbuds feel like a premium upgrade at a great price. Highly recommend! Read more

I'm normally an all Apple guy. I have AirPods Pro 2, but sometimes Apple's system of connecting to new devices bothers me. For that reason I keep a separate set of buds for Android devices, my Nintendo Switch, and work calls. After seeing a lot of positive reviews on these I decided to upgrade from my CMF Buds (1st generation). For this review I'll be comparing these to the AirPods Pro 2 that cost about four times as much. The sound quality on these is quite good. The bass is a little more boom-y relative to the AirPods, which some people might enjoy. The important thing is that I could really only tell that there was a difference when I was doing back and forth comparisons. They are a clear upgrade if you're on the CMF Buds 1st generation. If you're listening to a good song, you're going to be happy with the audio quality. The noise cancelling is good, but again not as good as the AirPods. I felt a little more of that active noise cancelling "Pressure" on these. Still, they did a great job of cancelling out the noise of my window AC units. The ANC is effective thanks to a very good fit in my ears. The battery life seems good and with the charging case I have no worries that I'll be without headphones. I am amazed at how far wireless headphones have come in the past few years. I would say they are 80% as good at the AirPods Pro 2 at 25% of the price. Read more

These genuinely surprised me The CMF Buds 2 Plus are a straight-up bargain. For the price you pay, the performance is genuinely shocking. The standout feature has to be the Noise Cancellation, it's unexpectedly powerful, easily silencing the low rumbles of a bus or an AC unit, it seriously performs like a much more expensive set. The Transparency mode is perfectly serviceable, keeping you aware of your surroundings without issue. The sound is quite decent overall, delivering crisp highs and a nice, satisfying thump on the low end. My only real gripe is that the mid-range feels a little thin, meaning vocals can sound slightly pulled back. But considering the shockingly good ANC and how cheap these are, that small audio flaw is easy to overlook. They offer a ton of value and come highly recommended if you're on a budget but still want something that feels high-end. Read more

When a mesh protective screen popped off one of my Tozo Golden X1 earbuds recently -- and while I'm waiting for the replacement pair to arrive from Tozo under warranty -- I decided to get a new backup ANC earbud pair and wanted to try a product from a different company. My two primary criteria for purchase were: price under $100; and great sound and good ANC. I came upon these CMF Buds 2 Plus and liked the looks, color, and specs, including a 12 mm driver. Yes, I have found that buds with drivers 10 mm or larger seem to have better bass. I've only had these buds for a day now, but I can tell you what I like about them: * Superb sound quality on all types of music. * Good though not state-of-the-art ANC. * Spatial audio option. * Hearing test fine-tuning. * Bud tip fitting test. * Fine connectivity. * Pairing with two devices simultaneously. * These stay in my ears without constant readjustment. All this for $60 (Black Friday special) is quite impressive! (The Golden X1's sell for $100, and the Buds 2 Plus may sound even better, thanks to the spatial audio option.) These Buds 2 Plus connected easily to my Windows 10 laptop and Android 13 phone. I had a little more trouble connecting to the Nothing app until I realized you HAVE to enable location access. Done! The spatial audio option is a welcome feature. I listened to a Pink track with and without the spatial audio engaged and came to prefer keeping it on, as it seems to open up the sound stage and separate each voice and instrument better. So what's the down side here? The limited controls. The problem is that only the left bud has a touch-sensitive control. So that restriction immediately halves the number of controls at your command. The best control setup I could arrange using the Nothing app allows: pause/play; skip track forward (but not back); ANC on/off/pass-through; volume up (but not down). Not as many options as the more expensive Golden X1's, which have controls on both buds. I also wish these buds had a better battery charge indicator on the case. There's a single LED that usually glows white; I have yet to see if it will glow red when you need a charge. Otherwise, you have to use the Nothing app (or your phone or computer's Bluetooth devices page) to check the charge level. Aside from these drawbacks, however, the B2P's deliver in spades on everything else, including one feature the GX1's lack: automatic pause when you take one of the buds from your ear, as when someone engages you in an unexpected conversation. So the truth is, I'm currently in no hurry to receive the replacement pair of Golden X1's I'm expecting and may default to the B2P's as my new best buds. I'll report back if I should change my mind after more use... Read more
