Hello community , its Debayan,student and photographer from India.
Today, Im back with the review of CMF Headphone Pro.

Design and Comfort
The design looks premium, and personally, I really liked the black variant I got. However, the black model comes with a matte finish, which means it picks up scratches quite easily. In comparison, the glossy plastic finish on the other colour options might actually age better.
In terms of comfort, during long listening sessions I did face a bit of discomfort mainly because I don’t usually use over-ear headphones. That said, for gaming sessions and medium-length use, the headphones felt comfortable and stable.
Sound Quality
For the price, the sound quality is pretty good. I mostly used these for watching movies, and the Cinema mode spatial audio in the Nothing X app genuinely performs well, making the experience more immersive.
At times, though, you might feel the sound could be slightly louder. Thankfully, the app offers multiple EQ presets, and you can also customise the EQ manually to suit your preference, which really helps fine-tune the experience.
Controls and Buttons
This is one of my favourite parts of the Headphone Pro. The physical volume wheel and bass controls feel very premium to use. You can even press the volume wheel for play/pause, and the best part is that all physical controls can be customised via the Nothing X app.
That level of customisation makes the overall user experience feel well thought out and polished.
Battery Life
Battery life is excellent. I can confidently say that since I got these headphones, I’ve charged them only twice, despite using them almost daily. This makes them extremely reliable for long-term use without constantly worrying about charging
Carry Bag
The carry bag included in the box feels a bit cheap for a headphone of this size. I really wish CMF had provided a hard case, which would’ve made carrying the headphones much safer and stress-free while travelling.
Final Thoughts
So what do I feel overall? At this price point, if you’re specifically looking for an over-ear headphone, the CMF Headphone Pro is definitely one of the best options available. However, if your priority is better sound quality and you’re okay with not using over-ear headphones, then CMF’s TWS earbuds might be a better choice in the same price range.
A solid choice as long as you know what kind of audio product you want for yourself.
