The CMF Headphone Pro, priced at $99, is making waves as a top-tier budget wireless headphone, earning an Editors' Choice award for its outstanding performance. While constructed with noticeable plastic, the design is distinctive and functional, offering features often found in more premium models.
Notable design elements include removable ear cushions, allowing for color customization and easier replacement, enhancing durability. The headphones possess an IPX2 rating, offering minimal protection against light water exposure. Their comfort is enhanced by plush padding and a secure fit, though some minor head movement was noted.
Control on the CMF Headphone Pro is tactile and intuitive, with a power/pairing button, bass boost slider, and a volume wheel on the earcups. A voice assistant button and USB-C port are also present. Many controls are customizable, allowing users to tailor functions like bass/treble boost and noise mode selection.
Audio quality is powered by 40mm drivers supporting a 20Hz-20kHz frequency range. Connectivity via Bluetooth 5.4 includes Multipoint for two devices. A standout feature for this price is LDAC support, enabling hi-res audio streaming, alongside AAC and SBC codecs. Included accessories are a 3.5mm audio cable and a soft carry bag, though a charging cable is notably absent.
