CMF by Nothing Buds 2 48dB Hybrid ANC True Wireless Earbuds, Strong and Comfort Noise Cancelling, Ultra Bass and Dirac Sound, in-Ear Detection, 55H Playtime, 6ENC Mics, Bluetooth 5.4 Dark Grey

The CMF Buds 2 are hands down the most worth-it earbuds I’ve ever bought under $50. For the price, I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but these completely exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is rich and balanced, with surprisingly deep bass and clear vocals that make both music and podcasts enjoyable. The active noise cancellation is rated at 48dB, and while I didn’t expect it to compete with high-end models, it actually does a great job blocking out background noise when I’m at the gym or on public transit. Comfort is another big win—the earbuds fit securely without feeling heavy or irritating, even after wearing them for a couple of hours. They come with multiple ear tip sizes, so it was easy to find the right fit. The touch controls are responsive, and switching between tracks or adjusting volume is quick and hassle-free. Battery life has been excellent as well. I can get through long workdays or travel days without worrying about constant recharging, and the case gives me plenty of extra power on the go. Charging is fast and reliable with USB-C, which is a big plus. Build quality is solid, and the design feels much more premium than the price suggests. I’ve had more expensive earbuds in the past that didn’t feel this sturdy. Combined with good call quality and a sleek look, these really check every box for me. If you’re looking for wireless earbuds that deliver great performance without spending a fortune, the CMF Buds 2 are an unbeatable choice. Easily the best under-$50 purchase I’ve made in a while.

WOW! These are excellent. Especially for the price. The noise cancelling is very very good for the price, and the transparency mode is pretty high quality. I like the inputs on the sides being sensitive to touch rather than being a button, as I have found in the past that actual buttons tend to be uncomfortable to press while the earbud is in your ear. The actual customizable functions that you can assign to the inputs leave a little to be desired. Since the controls (volume up/down, transparency/ANC/none, etc.) you can assign to certain types of inputs (double tap, triple tap, hold, etc.) are locked to certain types of controls for certain types of inputs, you aren't allowed quite as much freedom as I would personally like. The sound quality is fantastic, with very accurate highs. The sound stage is fantastic, and really does replicate the feeling of listening from speakers. The bass is a little too loud for the earbuds to be fully accurate, but some listeners may like that about them. In fact, the app even has a bass boost if you so desire. Overall, I couldn't imagine a better pair of wireless earbuds, especially for the price of these. If you are looking for quality wireless earbuds for a budget, these should be on the top of your list.

Solid ear buds! Good sound quality and the noise cancellation is great for the price.

Pretty solid earbuds. For a very reasonable price you get TWS buds with consistent Bluetooth connection (no dropping out), okay noise cancellation and kind of whatever transparency mode (more of a treat to me than a feature), and the detail/clarity in the sound is a respectable 7 or 8/10 IMO. I think they fall under the trope of higher mid bass to add "flavor", which thankfully you can easily EQ in the the app, and they EQ just fine. Speaking of the app: I love the UI, I think even my grandma can navigate it, menus make sense and it's the right amount of minimalist; where you actually have control over your product but it's not overwhelming. Anyways, my only complaint with these buds is the copycat airpods design- they slip out of my ears constantly which makes it lose bass while listening, which was a problem with my AirPods Pros when I owned them, but otherwise if you need simple buds for casual listening on Spotify, these work fine. I see these as a total 7/10 product, they aren't awful, far from that actually- just don't expect your socks to get blown off, they aren't even surpassing $100 USD.

I bought these as a backup for my EarPod Pro2s while traveling. First, they're great and work almost as well as the ear pods! They fit in my ears securely and have pretty impressive battery life, even with active noise canceling enabled. Pairing them with my iPhone was a snap. Sound quality wise, nothing to complain about! They sound great with good range and decent bass for ear buds. I've loaned them a friends on occasion and they've all decided buy a set as backups for their daily-driver ear buds.

Got these for $35. Pretty good for that price. Has in ear detection and audio quality is on par with my OnePlus buds pro that costs $150. For size comparison here it is next to a standard card. Controls can be adjusted. Compared to the buds 2a, these have in ear detection and comparing them back to back these sure sound like 1.5x louder. I had set volume at 50% and these have a setting called DIRAC opteo. Had that turned on and it's a huge difference. Like you can hear the difference and I am not usually someone who can discern such audio profile difference. It's that different. I have been using these off and on since I got it a month ago and still holding charge. I only probably used like 20 hours overall. Primarily have it paired to work laptop to attend meetings. Works well for that. It stays dual connected to my work laptop and phone and it seamlessly switches audio well. If I play YouTube on phone and then pause and go play in laptop it will switch audio. If you don't pause first device it won't switch audio as intended.

Good earbuds. They charge fast and they last a full day with ANC on. They block out loud noises (but with some inconveniences). The app for these is great and easy/straight forward. Voices come in clear, even in busy environments. The range for these is great too. I can leave my phone a good 15 feet and still enjoy music and calls clearly (no break ups or spotty connection). Some concerns though: 1) the ANC did some weird switching, where it goes through a cycle of great ANC, to minimal, to none, then back to great ANC. 2) I work at an airport and these earbuds sometimes pick up static noise/crackling noise near the airplanes or towers (no other earbuds have displayed this). 3) if you workout/sweat, you'll notice these don't really stay in the ear, but tend to loosen and come out slightly (losing the seal for proper ANC). I really wanted to love these earbuds. They do have some great things going for them and for the price you pay, they're fantastic. But there are some things that need to be fixed to make them exceptional.

Ive been a long time fan of the “nothing” products, and saw that they were in the wireless earbuds game- so decided to give these a try instead as they had a much more vibrant color pallet which I was into. These are very nice in person, and they come with a range of eartips to ensure a secure comfortable fit in your ear. I stuck with the mediums and they seemed to be comfortable in my ear for 2.5 hours. They didnt move, even with violent headbanging to my music— stable if you ask me. There is an app that you can get to connect the earbuds easily and adjust the sound/ equalizer settings. These have a good amount of bass- much more than i was expecting. They are tuned pretty well out of the box- nothing really sounding muddy or drowned out. The Hybrid ANC feature really stood out to me and influenced picking this one out of the others. I was greatly impressed by the amount of sound it was able to tune out while I was working on my laptop at a coffee shop. The transparency mode was also pretty good for small conversations without taking out your earbuds. There is a sensor that pauses your music/audio automatically if you take the earbud out of your ear- which is a great touch. I havent had to charge the headphones yet outside of the case (it has a very long battery life) but its usb c which is very handy as everything else i own uses that cable. The case has a dial, but unlike the other similar ones in the line up there isnt a function for this dial. It wouldve been cool if it could adjust volume or had a button to press and skip/pause songs without touching the stem. The case is also a little big, but its not outrageous— you should be able to fit it in a small pocket still. Overall im really happy with the quality of these for the money — i tend to lose my earbuds and these are easy enough to replace without shame if anything happens to these.
