Nothing, the UK tech brand, continues its streak of frequent product releases. Since its inception in 2022, Nothing has introduced Android phones, smartwatches, and earbuds. Now, the brand unveils its latest creation – over-the-ear headphones.
Previously operating as a budget sub-brand under Nothing, the Headphone Pro marks CMF’s independent product debut. While CMF’s style differs slightly from Nothing’s premium aesthetic, it still exudes its own unique charm.
Diverging from transparent casings seen in other CMF products, the Headphone Pro boasts a distinct design that may not cater to everyone’s taste. However, the headphones caught attention with their unconventional appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, the Headphone Pro delivers impressive sound quality. Featuring tactile controls without haptics, the headphones offer a bass-boost slide button, a rare feature enhancing the lower frequencies to suit individual preferences.
Functionality-wise, the headphones include a versatile roller/button for volume adjustments, track switching, and ANC activation, along with a dedicated voice assistant button. The active noise cancellation effectively blocks out consistent background noise, though sudden loud sounds may seep through.
Priced at £79 on nothing.tech, the CMF Headphone Pro presents a compelling option for both Android and iOS users. While they may not match the feature set of Sony or Bose headphones, their affordability sets them apart in the market.
