CMF Buds Neo, priced under Rs 2,000, deliver strong active noise cancellation (ANC), customisable sound via the Nothing X app, and an 8.5-hour battery life with ANC on, according to a Times Now review. The buds feature Bluetooth 6.0, spatial audio support, and a low-latency mode for gaming. The square plastic case has a scratch-prone matte finish and a decorative dial, with USB Type-C charging at the bottom.
The review praised the ergonomic fit, noting no loose-bud issues unlike the Realme Buds Air 8 Pro. Audio quality was described as crisp with clear vocals and instrument separation. ANC was effective in daily settings like gyms and offices but not for extreme noise environments like concerts. The companion app allows ANC level adjustment, dual-device connection, and an equaliser with custom profiles.
Indian Opinion Analysis
CMF's parent company Nothing has been steadily expanding its affordable audio lineup, with the Nothing Ear and CMF series competing in a crowded sub-Rs 3,000 TWS segment dominated by Realme and Xiaomi. The Buds Neo's 8.5-hour real-world battery with ANC on is above average for this price band, where many rivals struggle to cross five hours. However, the plastic case's scratch-prone matte finish is a common cost-cutting trade-off. The inclusion of Bluetooth 6.0 is a notable upgrade, as most budget TWS still use version 5.3. For a user deciding between the Realme Buds Air 8 Pro (Rs 1,999) and these (Rs 1,799), the key differentiators are ANC quality versus sound signature. Next up: competitors may cut prices to match.
