CMF Buds Neo Launched: Budget ANC Earbuds with 52-Hour Battery Life

CMF by Nothing has officially expanded its audio portfolio with the launch of the CMF Buds Neo, a budget-friendly true wireless in-ear headphone priced under 1,000 baht, according to reports from DroidSans, Sanook, and flashfly.net. The new wireless earbuds pack active noise cancellation and a maximum battery life of up to 52 hours into a colorful charging case.

Audio Specifications and Design Features

The CMF Buds Neo are built with 12.4-millimeter dynamic drivers featuring a titanium-coated PET dome, according to Sanook. Listeners can choose from six different equalizer presets or enable a static spatial audio mode to add depth to their music. The device integrates with the Nothing X companion app for deeper customization. For voice calls and online meetings, each earbud houses a dual-microphone setup supported by noise reduction algorithms to isolate speech.

Active Noise Cancellation and Connectivity

Despite targeting the budget segment, the hardware includes an Active Noise Cancellation system capable of suppressing ambient sounds by up to 35 decibels, as reported by flashfly.net and iMoD. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 6.0 with dual-device pairing, letting users link the earbuds to two separate devices simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly. Additional pairing aids include Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair, alongside an ultra-low latency mode designed to reduce audio-visual delay during mobile gaming.

Battery Performance and Charging

Power management serves as a primary selling point for the new release. According to Sanook, the CMF Buds Neo deliver a combined total of up to 52 hours of playback time using the charging case when active noise cancellation is turned off. Engaging the ANC feature reduces the total endurance to roughly 30 hours. The charging case supports fast replenishment, allowing users to plug the device in for 10 minutes to recover up to approximately five hours of playback capacity.
