CMF, Nothing's budget-friendly brand, has launched the Clip Pro, an innovative take on open-ear earbuds designed for urban commuters and fitness enthusiasts. These earbuds feature a distinctive "3-point clip design" engineered to distribute pressure evenly, ensuring a comfortable, pinch-free fit that adapts to any ear shape. Weighing a mere 5.9 grams per bud, they offer a virtually unnoticeable feel.
The open-ear architecture allows users to enjoy their audio content while remaining aware of their surroundings, a contrast to traditional earbuds that seal the ear canal. For audio quality, the Clip Pro boasts 10.8mm dual-magnet dynamic drivers, promising robust bass and detailed sound. CMF's "Ultra Bass Technology" aims to enhance low frequencies and reduce treble distortion, compensating for the bass typically lost in open-ear designs.
Further enhancing the user experience, the Clip Pro is Hi-Res Certified and supports advanced codecs like LDAC, AAC, and SBC. The earbuds are equipped with four HD microphones for clear calls, filtering out ambient noise. Notably, a privacy feature can reduce the audibility of conversations to nearby individuals, adjustable via the Nothing app. The charging case includes CMF's Smart Dial for intuitive volume and playback control, alongside physical on-device buttons.
With 10 hours of playback on a single charge and a total of 32.5 hours with the case, the Clip Pro offers substantial battery life, with a 10-minute charge yielding four hours of listening. Priced at $99, they include a low latency gaming mode and dual Bluetooth connections, along with Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair support. The earbuds also feature IP54 water and dust resistance. The CMF Clip Pro became available for purchase on August 15 in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Coral color options.
