The CMF Headphone Pro is another installment on the CMF audio line. Do I like it? The short answer is yes. Long answer? Well, here’s my review.
The first thing I’d like to talk about is battery life. The CMF Headphone Pro claim to offer around 100 hours of battery life. I don’t have an exact estimate, but I can say that it has lasted several gaming sessions, with music playing while walking, and podcast listening on one charge.
This is pretty awesome for headphones at this price. I expected to charge them after maybe two sessions, but that wasn’t the case. My usage includes gaming, ANC being on the adaptive setting, and making calls while walking. (Between music, podcasts, or audiobooks.) They also claim that you can get a 4 hour listening session on a 5 minute charge. I can’t vouch for accuracy, but this helped me when I needed it most. (I don’t like wires, they keep my movement quite limited.)Overall I’m liking how the battery held up. I want to test this over time and during travel, however. This satisfied my needs and I don’t have any complaints here. The next subject is design and build quality. Oh man, the design is my absolute favorite part of these headphones. You can remove the ear paddings on the headset and remix them with a splash of your own style. I personally dig the dark gray headphones with mint cushions.
This stole my heart and I won’t be going back. There are other colored cushions as well. I’ve seen orange ones and they look sick for the spooky season That’s upon us. The build quality is also as expected for this price range. The matte portion of the headphones is made from plastic, while I’m not sure about the glossy material. (Whenever I find out more, I’ll leave an update.) So it’s lightweight and I love wearing them for longer listening sessions.
They also have tactile input like buttons and sliders.
While on this subject, the energy slider is an interesting feature. I find that I can notice the differences when the bass is tied to it, but I can’t say I notice much difference with the treble. The wheel however, it grabbed my attention. It’s easy to use to change volume, but also has more functionality to it. You can change what I double tap, triple tap, and long press can do. I personally didn’t change the default mapping, as it’s memorable this way for me. The power button also acts as a pairing mode button when held for a few seconds after powering them on. Another important component, arguably the most important is the sound quality. As I said in my Headphone 1 review, I’m far from an audiophile, but I can admit when something sounds bad. I can gladly say that these sound good. It may be a little more subjective to others, but I like it. I’ve used the pop audio profile and have the energy slider set to bass. I’ve also gone as far as setting up my hearing profile. This helped me tune them to a point that I’m satisfied with. There’s a good amount of punchiness to the tracks I listened to, especially with the pop profile. I’ve gone through genres such as pop, rap, rock, etc. I’ve been enjoying each one just as much as the others.
There’s a few things I wish were built in. But mind you they’d increase the price or and unnecessary functions. I’ll share the thing(s) anyway.
A way for the software to detect headphone cushion changes and match the color in the app accordingly.
More color options, I think a dark or light purple would be clean as well. (With matte finishes)
That’s about it, but thanks a ton for stopping by and reading my review. I appreciate your time and energy. ❤️
To answer if they can hang, I say that they can 100%. They’ve got a great pair of headphones here.
