CMF Clip Pro: Bold Design, Mixed Sound
24 Oct
Summary
- Unique asymmetrical design with a dual-tone color scheme.
- Case features a rotary dial for volume control, but feels flimsy.
- Sound quality is punchy but lacks depth and high-frequency detail.
The CMF Clip Pro earbuds merge style with open-ear audio functionality, featuring an eye-catching asymmetrical, two-tone design reminiscent of Nothing's aesthetic. Priced at $99, these earbuds aim to provide a safer listening experience for active users.
The accompanying charging case, though somewhat bulky, incorporates a unique rotary dial for volume adjustment, but this feature shows some flimsiness. The buds themselves are lightweight and comfortable, with an unusual shape that prioritizes aesthetics over a consistently secure fit.
Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.4 with support for LDAC and Multipoint pairing. Despite a stable connection for most uses, occasional spotty performance in motion was noted. Battery life is rated at 10 hours for the buds, with the case providing an additional 22.5 hours, falling short of some competitors.
Sound quality is characterized by punchy bass and energetic playback suitable for podcasts and casual music listening. However, the CMF Clip Pro struggles with reproducing deep sub-bass and lacks the crispness in high frequencies found in other models. The accompanying app offers customization, including EQ presets and a spatial audio mode, but controls and sound enhancements are somewhat limited.
