CMF Buds Neo : Pretty Perfect Today , we are launching the CMF Buds Neo in India, its most accessible earbuds entry point yet, designed to bring the essential CMF experience to more people. Designed to make the CMF ecosystem more accessible, Buds Neo delivers a complete everyday audio experience without unnecessary complexity. From its distinctive dual-tone design and 12.4mm dynamic driver to Active Noise Cancellation, long-lasting battery life and the Nothing X app experience, Neo is made for people who want great everyday audio that simply works. Designed to stand out CMF Buds Neo brings CMF’s signature geometric design language to a bold new form. The charging case combines a distinctive square shape with a tactile circular dial, creating a contrasting two-tone look that gives Neo its own visual identity. The dial and case use contrasting colours to create a playful, distinctive finish, while the tactile surface makes the dial satisfying to interact with. A built-in lanyard hole also makes it easy to attach a strap and carry Neo wherever you go. Available in Black, White and Dark Blue, the design brings CMF’s playful approach to colour, form and materials to its most accessible earbuds yet. A wider way to listen At the heart of Buds Neo is a 12.4mm dynamic driver, designed to deliver deeper, fuller bass with the power to move more air. A titanium-coated PET dome helps keep vocals and details clear, while the flexible PEEK + PU surround gives the driver more room to move. Neo also supports static spatial audio, creating a broad sound field that makes audio feel as though it is coming from in front, behind and beside you. Movies and concert recordings in particular become more engaging and realistic, giving users a wider way to experience their content. For listeners who like to shape their sound, Buds Neo comes with six professionally tuned EQ presets, covering different listening styles from Pop and Rock to Electronic, Classical and Enhance Vocals. Users can also create their own sound profile with Custom EQ through the Nothing X app. For those who want more impact, Bass Enhancement adds additional weight to the low end while keeping the rest of the music clear. Users can choose between Off, Level 1 at 50%, or Level 2 at 100% through the Nothing X app. Less noise. Clearer calls. Buds Neo features up to 35 dB of Active Noise Cancellation, with three levels to choose from depending on the environment. For a more effortless experience, Adaptive ANC can automatically find the right balance as surroundings change. For calls, Buds Neo uses four HD microphones, with two microphones on each earbud, combined with Clear Voice Technology to help keep voices clear on calls, even outdoors or while on the move. Built to keep listening Buds Neo is designed to keep music going from morning commutes to late-night listening. With ANC turned off, it delivers up to 52 hours of total playback, giving users extended listening time without constantly reaching for a charger. Each earbud delivers up to 11 hours of music playback with ANC off, while total playback remains up to 30 hours with ANC on. When time is short, fast charging provides up to 5.5 hours of playback from just 10 minutes of charging. The earbuds feature 45mAh batteries each, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. Full charging takes approximately 70 minutes through USB-C. Pretty Perfect. CMF Buds Neo is built around the idea that entering the CMF ecosystem should be simple. It brings together the essentials of everyday audio, clear and engaging sound, practical features, dependable battery life and distinctive design, in a product designed to be accessible to more people. With Buds Neo, CMF makes it easier to experience its approach to technology for the first time, bringing functionality, simplicity and style together in one of its most accessible products yet.

Dear Depanshu,

I know it’s offtopic.

I’d love to connect with you regarding X (Twitter) and explore the possibility of building a strong community around Nothing in Kerala.

I’m genuinely interested in the tech and community-building space, and I believe we could work together to create a strong, engaged community representing Kerala and eventually contribute to building a stronger Indian Nothing community.

I’d be happy to discuss the idea with you and explore how we can take it forward as a team.

Deepanshu_Saini_ What about App control? Does it support?

Shreyassagvekar

Deepanshu_Saini_ I don’t know but feels little bit overpriced but I’m getting CMF buds 2a on Other websites and Retails with good colour Options, why I would consider if I get better product at same price range. Should have launched between 1.5k-1.8k. Anyways it is what it is now. (My honest opinion btw)

Sourav_Satvaya can you please add the Nothing Buds in this list. I know they are more premium, still want to know who stands where.

1. Nothing Ear (stick) (2022)

2. Nothing Ear (open) (2024)

3. Nothing Ear (1) (2021)

4. Nothing Ear (a) (2024) [Launched alongside Nothing Ear (2024)]

5. Nothing Ear (3a) (2026)

6. Nothing Ear (2) (2023)

7. Nothing Ear (2024) [Technically it’s 3rd gen but NOTHING messed up with the name. It is what it is]

8. Nothing Ear (3) (2025)

The list goes from less features to more features. Some are costs more (Ear Stick) than other but that doesn’t make it superior.

Deepanshu_Saini_ I want headphone (a) in India

Sourav_Satvaya i think it’s better to rank them based on sound quality more than price. Especially since they’re still on an introductory price so who knows how expensive they’ll be later on.

Sourav_Satvaya

Vidyut_nagarkar Basically CMF buds are more straight forward than the NOTHING Buds. In CMF’s case as the price goes up the sound quality as well as overall features increase. My list was based on all these aspects not just price.

What exactly does the dial on the case control?

Sourav_Satvaya alright thanks 👍🏻

Why there no pairing button on the new cmf buds neo

Sourav_Satvaya

abrar131514 most budget tws skip the physical reset/pairing button. To pair a new device, wear both earphones and hold the touch areas until you hear a chime. To rest follow the same process but hold for longer time.
