CMF Clip Pro Open-Ear Buds Feature Charging Case Dial for Calls

Experience a fresh take on open-ear audio with CMF Clip Pro’s budget-friendly design and smart charging case dial.

A New Wave of Clip-On Earbuds

Clip-on-style earbuds are quickly becoming the cool new trend, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. They offer the perfect balance of staying aware of your surroundings while still jamming out to your favorite tunes. While brands like Nothing Ear (open) buds have wowed us a couple of years ago, CMF has just stepped into this arena with their very first clip-on earbuds — and they’re looking pretty impressive.

These open-ear buds are designed with budget-conscious users in mind, eager to get in on the open-ear listening experience without draining their wallets. The market has some heavy hitters like Bose Ultra Open, Sony LinkBuds Clip, Anker Soundcore AeroFit 2, Shokz OpenDots One, and Huawei Freebuds 6, but these come with price tags that can make your eyes water. Enter the CMF Clip Pro, priced at a reasonable $99, slotting right into the sweet spot for those who want quality without the premium cost. They’re set to compete head-to-head with options like the Moondrop Pill.

Comfort That Clings and Lasts

What truly sets the CMF Clip Pro apart is its obsessive focus on comfort during long listening sessions. They sport an IP54 rating, meaning they’re sweat and splash resistant — a must for active users.

The secret sauce? The unique 3-point Clip Design. This clever setup evenly spreads out pressure, so you avoid that annoying pinching feeling you often get with other clip-on earbuds. Inside, an elastic titanium wire keeps the structural bridge flexible and skin-friendly, adapting perfectly to your individual ear shape. At just 5.9 grams per earbud, these buds practically disappear when worn, giving you that barely-there feel we all crave.

Sound That Surprises for Its Class

One common gripe with open-ear earbuds is the weakness in bass — often leaving the sound feeling thin or dull. CMF is tackling this head-on. They tuned the 10.8mm dual-magnet dynamic drivers with Ultra Bass Technology to punch up the low-end without drowning out the mids and highs. This means less treble distortion and a richer bass response, which is a big deal in this category.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the bass quality, hoping it’s not the kind that swamps everything else into a muddy mess — audiophiles can be a tough crowd! But with Hi-Res Audio certification and support for LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs, there’s good reason to believe these buds deliver crisp, clean sound without compromise.

Smart Dial Charging Case: A Game-Changer

Perhaps the coolest feature that caught my eye is the Smart Dial built right into the charging case. This is not just a fancy touch — it lets you control volume, playback, and even answer calls without ever pulling out your phone. Imagine twisting a dial on your case to crank up your jam or take an important call on the fly. Pretty slick, right?

Bluetooth 5.4 means you can connect to two devices at once, switching seamlessly between your phone and laptop, for example. Battery life is solid too—around 10 hours on the earbuds alone, stretching up to 32.5 hours with the case. If you’re in a rush, a quick 10-minute fast charge boosts playtime by a generous 4 hours.

Colors and Availability

CMF offers the Clip Pro in three colors: gray, dark gray, and coral. Starting August 15, you can grab them in the US, UK, and Japan for $99 through official channels. European and other global fans will have to wait a bit longer, with availability kicking off from September 15.

Comfort and long-term wearability are the USP of these IP54-rated earbuds as they cling to the ears with the 3-point Clip Design.
