CMF Headphone Pro: 100 Hours of Music and Custom Design in Budget Headphones

Experience long-lasting sound and playful style with CMF Headphone Pro’s custom design and 100-hour battery life.

If you’re always on the hunt for headphones that blend killer sound with standout design, CMF Headphone Pro’s newest drop might just steal your heart — and your ears. As the budget offshoot of the innovative Nothing brand, CMF just launched the Headphone Pro, their very first full-sized headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC). And let me tell you, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill cans.

Available in three fresh colors — Light Gray, Dark Gray, and Light Green — the Headphone Pro instantly signals that CMF cares about how their gear looks as much as how it sounds.

The new Headphone Pro shines in all its stylish colorways.

Notice the sleek lines and premium materials making a statement.

The design is anything but boring.

Light green adds a playful pop to your music sessions.

The headphones fit snugly and look sleek, ready for any setting.

Mix, Match, and Make It Yours

But wait, the fun doesn’t stop at just picking a color. CMF introduces a modular design that lets you swap out ear cushions for accessories in vibrant orange or light green. Imagine pairing bright orange earpads with a light green frame — a bold, playful look that screams personality. This level of customization feels like a breath of fresh air in a market flooded with one-size-fits-all designs.

Tactile Controls and Next-Level Audio Features

CMF takes a refreshingly tactile approach with the physical controls on Headphone Pro, steering clear of the touch-gesture trend. There’s a handy button roller that manages volume, ANC, and playback, delivering satisfyingly responsive feedback—perfect for those who prefer a physical click over tap-and-hope.

Physical controls combine ease and precision.

One of the coolest additions is the “Energy Slider,” which lets you fine-tune bass and treble to match the vibe of your current track. It’s like having a mini soundboard right on your headphones! Plus, a customizable button can be programmed for features like spatial audio or quick AI assistant access—talk about personalizing your listening experience in a budget-friendly package.

Sound Quality That Packs a Punch

When it comes to audio, CMF doesn’t hold back. The Headphone Pro boasts hybrid ANC capable of reducing noise by up to 40 dB. This adaptive system automatically adjusts to your environment, blocking out distractions whether you’re on a noisy commute or chilling at home.

Inside, custom 40mm nickel-plated drivers deliver Hi-Res audio and support LDAC for low-distortion, crystal-clear sound. There’s also Personal Sound tech that customizes audio based on your unique ear canal shape, offering a truly individualized listening sesh.

Battery Life That Goes the Distance

Now here’s where these headphones really shine. The Headphone Pro promises a staggering 100 hours of playback on a single charge, or 50 hours in call mode. Even with ANC activated, you’re looking at up to 50 hours of continuous music—seriously impressive for this price point.

Charging is just as smart. A quick 5-minute boost gives you up to 4 hours of playtime, and a full charge takes less than 2 hours via USB-C. Plus, you can even charge your headphones on the go using your smartphone’s USB-C cable—a neat feature that minimizes downtime.

Price and Availability

The CMF Headphone Pro hit the market on October 7 and are rocking a wallet-friendly price tag:

• Headphones: $99 / £79 / €99
• Replacement ear cushions (orange and light green): $25 / £19 / €25

This pricing puts premium features like ANC, modular design, and long battery life well within reach.

A Strong Contender in the Budget Headphone Arena

Headphone Pro in Light Gray, ready for everyday wear.

Looking at the spec sheet, the Headphone Pro feels like a steal. CMF has built a solid reputation with their Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus, delivering surprisingly rich sound at affordable prices. With ANC, modularity, tactile controls, and marathon battery life, these headphones offer a compelling package for budget-conscious listeners eager for premium capabilities.

There aren’t many budget full-size headphones that nail this blend of design and functionality. The Anker Soundcore Life Q45 is one competitor that springs to mind, but CMF’s approach with modular fun and tactile controls might just edge it out.

Real-World Testing Is the Ultimate Verdict

Of course, all the specs and marketing gloss can’t replace hands-on experience. But if CMF’s track record with previous gadgets is anything to go by, the Headphone Pro is likely more than just a pretty face. For those who want ANC, long battery life, and customization without shelling out big bucks, these headphones might just hit the sweet spot.

“Headphone Pro seems like a very reasonable option for those wanting premium features without paying premium prices.”
