CMF Buds Pro 2 Review: Wireless earbuds are a necessity nowadays, and the market has evolved to ensure everyone has something accessible. Want a pair under ₹1,000? You have it. Want something premium above ₹20,000? You have that as well. However, in this sea of earbuds, finding the right model can be tricky, depending on what you need from a pair. This brings me to the under ₹5,000 price bracket and the CMF Buds Pro 2, which retail for ₹4,299. I've been using these earbuds for about a month now, and I can recommend them to anyone seeking a good pair under ₹7,000- ₹8,000. In fact, I believe they punch above their weight and have exceeded my expectations. Here is my review of the CMF Buds 2 Pro.

I'll get straight to the point: I was pleasantly surprised when I first listened to Paddling Out by Miike Snow on the CMF Buds Pro 2. It's my go-to song for testing earbuds, and I must say, the Buds Pro 2 sound full, detailed, and have a wide soundstage. This is coming from someone who uses AirPods Pro on a daily basis.

In fact, if you handed me these earbuds without any branding and told me the price, I would never guess they are budget-friendly. I believe this is due to the new 11mm drivers and 6mm tweeters that Nothing has opted for. The sound is a mix of strong lows and balanced highs. For bass enthusiasts, I have good news: it delivers. The bass is punchy, and at times, too strong if you're using the Ultra Bass mode (via the Nothing X app). This makes it ideal for workouts and other energetic activities.

While it is an apples-to-oranges comparison, I have to highlight that I've had more fun with the sound compared to my AirPods Pro, which cost five times as much. This speaks volumes about the sound quality you can expect. Yes, the noise cancelling isn't the best, but for something that costs ₹4,299, I'm not complaining. It filters out most
