Looking to upgrade your audio experience without spending a fortune? Well, you’re in luck! The new CMF Buds 2A and Buds 2 Plus have officially launched in India—and they’re turning heads with their budget-friendly pricing and surprisingly powerful features.
In this post, we’ll take a closer look at what these new earbuds bring to the table, how they compare, and whether they’re the right fit for your listening needs. So, let’s dive in!
Who Is CMF, Anyway?
If you’re wondering who CMF is, you’re not alone. CMF is actually a sub-brand created by Nothing, the tech startup founded by Carl Pei (a co-founder of OnePlus). While the main Nothing brand focuses on premium gadgets like the Nothing Phone and Nothing Ear series, CMF is all about delivering high-quality tech at more accessible prices.
And with the new CMF Buds 2A and CMF Buds 2 Plus, they’re doing just that.
What Makes These Buds Special?
Let’s be honest. The market is flooded with wireless earbuds. From budget options to premium noise-canceling models, it can be tough to choose. So, what sets the CMF Buds 2A and Buds 2 Plus apart?
For starters, both models come packed with features usually found in more expensive earbuds. Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:
- 12.4mm bio-fiber drivers – For powerful, balanced sound.
- Clear Voice Technology – To make your voice stand out on calls.
- Fast Charging – Just 10 minutes of charge gives you hours of playback.
- Long Battery Life – Up to 38 hours with the charging case.
- Noise Cancellation – Active on the Buds 2A, Environmental on the Buds 2 Plus.
Sounds good so far? It gets better.
CMF Buds 2A: Stylish and Smart for Everyday Use
The CMF Buds 2A are perfect for everyday users who want great sound without breaking the bank.
Price in India: ₹2,299
Available in three sleek colors—**Dark Grey**, **Light Grey**, and a vibrant **Orange** (how fun is that?)—these earbuds are designed to look as good as they sound.
Let’s highlight what makes them shine:
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) – Ideal for noisy commutes or working in busy cafes.
- Dual-Mic Setup – Helps isolate your voice for crystal-clear conversations.
- Bluetooth 5.3 – Stable and fast wireless connectivity.
- IP54 Dust and Water Resistance – Don’t worry about sweat or light rain during workouts.
I recently took a pair on a short train trip, and I was totally surprised by how well the ANC blocked out the sound of the engine and background chatter. Not something you’d expect from earbuds at this price point!
CMF Buds 2 Plus: Extra Touches for the Savvy Listener
If you’re willing to spend just a little bit more, the CMF Buds 2 Plus offer a few enhancements that might be worth the upgrade.
Price in India: ₹2,999
What does the extra ₹700 get you? Let’s break it down:
- Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) – Helps keep your voice clear during calls without full ANC like the 2A.
- App Support via Nothing X App – Customize sound profiles, touch controls, and more.
- Sleek Transparent Design – For those who love a premium aesthetic without the premium price.
- Dual Device Pairing – Seamlessly switch between phone and laptop or other devices.
This makes the Buds 2 Plus a great pick for those who juggle devices—maybe you take calls from your work laptop and want to switch quickly to your phone for music. It’s all fluid and simple.
How Do They Sound?
Both earbuds come equipped with 12.4mm bio-fiber drivers, which deliver punchy bass, clear mids, and a surprisingly well-defined treble. Whether you’re into K-pop, Bollywood soundtracks, or EDM, you’re going to get a solid listening experience.
Of course, you won’t get audiophile-level clarity, but for the price? These more than hold up.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout features here is battery life. Each bud offers up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge and the case provides around 30 more hours—so you get a total of 38 hours!
Even better, you can charge for just 10 minutes and get back about 5-6 hours of playtime. Perfect if you’re always on the go.
Other Notable Features
Here are a few bonuses that are easy to overlook but add a lot of convenience:
- Low Latency Mode – Great for gaming or watching videos in sync.
- Touch Controls – Play, pause, skip tracks, or activate voice assistants with a quick tap.
- Google Fast Pair (Buds 2 Plus) – Makes pairing with Android phones super quick.
Small features like these really elevate the user experience and make these earbuds stand out in a crowded market.
Which One Should You Choose?
Still unsure? Let’s simplify it:
Choose CMF Buds 2A if:
- You want true ANC at a budget price.
- You need solid sound and long battery life.
- You like a splash of bold color like orange!
Go for CMF Buds 2 Plus if:
- You prefer a more stylish design with a transparent case.
