CMF Buds Pro 2 - Dial - Suggestions

irupurumanjunadhreddy

I’ve noticed that the dial on the CMF Buds Pro 2 is always active, which often leads to accidental touches when adjusting or handling the earbuds. It also seems to contribute to unnecessary battery drain from unintentional interactions.

I’d like to suggest an optional setting where the dial is off by default and only gets activated with a long press to intentionally turn it on. This way:

Accidental touches can be avoided
Battery life could be better preserved

The user experience becomes more intentional and controlled

Hey guys!

I recently purchased the CMF Buds Pro 2’s and I’ve been loving them for a cheap but effective ear bud; however, I was anticipating a little more customization for the smart dial. I’m not unhappy for all it can do since it’s still convenient with all its functions, but I think there could be a little more.

I’ve had a couple ideas and wanted to know y’all’s opinions or if there’s any future customization options that are in the works.

To preface this, I use the Buds with my iPhone. My main thought is the ability to use apples built in accessibility features and set the smart dial to use different functions. So one press could bring you to the Home Screen and two presses could activate Siri. Another example is using the scroll function to swipe up and down on instagram reels.

I’d love to hear y’all’s thought and ideas or insight into if there’s any future options for the smart dial.

I think it would be great if when you go to the camera app, you could make a shot with click on dial remotely, what do you think?

I agree! This is a brilliant idea they should consider!

I agree that it would be nice not to carry the selfie remote. I am using the dial as a remote. I am not touching my ear, trying to find the touch spot. The case is a good remote while driving.

I just got the Buds Pro 2
I love them
Can we pleeeease, pleeeeeease, have an option to disable the horribly laggy and loud “boob” sound every time I touch or rotate the smart dial? it just destroys the music I’m listening to. I’m conciounsly adjusting the volume, I KNOW what I’m doing, why would you think it’s a good idea to disrupt the flow of the music just to “inform” me of an action that I’m doing, the bigger problem is that the sound is sooo loud and sooo laggy.

I feel like no one working at Nothing truly tested this in real life, and it was just forced by a PM / Designer who was afraid that the dial is going to be activated by mistake in the pocket or backpack, and you will get complaints about “broken” headsets, so they thought, the only solution is just to make them blow my eardrum every time I turn the smart dial.

As an embedded dev I’m pretty sure an itern can add this toggle to the settings and publish a firmware update within a week… my god jsut vibe-code it idc, but pleeeeease add it, I beg you 🙏

there’s a two year old reddit post with dozens of people complaining about it
