Earlier in July, Nothing launched its first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (1). Now its sub-brand, CMF, is doing the same, and has just introduced the CMF Headphone Pro, offering youthful and trendy designs with premium features at a budget-friendly price point.
CMF Headphone Pro: Pricing & availability details in Malaysia
In Malaysia, CMF Headphone Pro is offered in three shades — Light Green, Light Grey, and Dark Grey. Said to be coming to our market soon, you can now register your interest for the device via Nothing Malaysia’s official website. Anyhow, here’s its official retail price:
- CMF Headphone Pro – RM429
ANC, swappable ear cushions, up to 100 hours of playback time – all for RM429
One unqiue feature the CMF Headphone Pro offers, especially for its price, is you can swap out its ear cushions. In fact, CMF will also be selling ear cushions for its headphones, in either Light Green or Orange, at RM89 per pair.
To control the Headphone Pro, CMF has fitted it with three hardware input methods — a Slider, a Roller, and a Button. The Slider allows you to adjust either the intensity of bass or treble for your music, while the Roller let’s you control your music volume, play and pause, and switch between the ANC and transparency modes. As for the Button, you can use it to launch your phone’s smart assistant, such as Gemini or Siri.
At the heart of the CMF Headphone Pro are 40mm drivers with nickel-plated dispahragms. And with active noise cancellation (ANC), CMF says its headphones can block out up to 99% of noise, or 40dB if you want a more accurate figure.
Weighing 283g, the Headphone Pro is packed with a 720mAh battery. What does this mean to you as a user? Well, CMF claims a playback time of up to 100 hours when listening at 50% volume in AAC mode, and with ANC off. Turning ANC on will reduce that figure to 50 hours with the same settings.
Aside from SBC and ACC, the CMF Headphone Pro also supports LDAC for Hi-Res audio. Listening to your music using this codec, while having ANC on and volume set to 50%, you should be able to get up to 38 hours of listening time.
The CMF Headphone Pro works with the Nothing X app, granting you access to features such as equaliset controls, Find My Headphones, Low Lag Mode, and software updates. On top of that, the Headphone Pro can be paired with smartphones running at least Android 5.1 or iOS 13. It also supports Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair.
For durability, the CMF Headphone Pro is rated at IPX2 for “drip-proof”. So don’t dive into the pool with one these headphones.
