CMF Buds Neo, the latest TWS earbuds from the Nothing sub-brand, offer a bass-heavy sound, up to 35dB active noise cancellation, and 11 hours of battery life for a budget price. The earbuds feature 12.4mm drivers, IP54 water resistance, and custom EQ via the Nothing X app.
In the review, Business Today found the sound punchy and the ANC better than expected for the segment. However, mids are not impressive, the audio turns tinny at full volume, and the silicone tips can become uncomfortable during long sessions. The review calls the earbuds a strong value-for-money option in their segment.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The TWS segment under Rs 3,000 is fiercely competitive in India, with players like Realme, Oppo, and Boat dominating shelf space. CMF's move here targets buyers who want Nothing's design language without the flagship price. The key trade-off is comfort versus cost: the silicone tip issue reported is a common compromise in budget earbuds. Watch for sales data in the next quarter to see if the CMF brand can convert design appeal into market share.
