Apple_iLevX that could be an argument, if the EQ didn’t make the volume 200% lower. I sold the Headphone (1) because at the latest firmware, without the EQ they sounded like crap. With the EQ, they sounded AMAZING - until you cranked up the volume, at which the bass disappeared.
CMF Headphone Pro doesn’t have this issue, the volume is HIGH and even at the highest volume, the bass is still EXTREMELY GOOD. Best headphones I’ve had. The Nothing Headphone (1) was the biggest disappointment I ever had in headphones, and in the overall Nothing lineup. The CMFs are really better at ⅓ the price, which is embarrassing…
Also, the CMF Heeadphone Pro’s sound is really good, for the price almost unbelievable - and with the Personal Sound Profile it’s just amazing. Great product.
