New Delhi: CMF by Nothing has recently unveiled its most-awaited CMF Headphone Pro in India, marking the brand’s entry into the over-ear headphones category. The CMF Headphone Pro comes with the 40mm custom drivers and supports Hi-Res audio with LDAC. The headphones also feature hybrid adaptive ANC, offering noise cancellation of up to 40dB. The company has also claimed up to 100 hours of playback on a single charge or up to 50 hours with ANC enabled. It is priced at Rs 7,999, and it is available in three colour options: Dark Grey, Light Green, and Light Grey.
The CMF Headphone Pro has custom 40mm drivers with nickel-plated diaphragms and supports Hi-Res audio and LDAC. LDAC supports Bluetooth audio at bitrates of up to 990 kbps, while dual Hi-Res certifications indicate support for high-quality audio across compatible formats. The headphones support Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless connectivity. CMF stated that the ANC system adjusts automatically based on surrounding noise levels to balance noise reduction during extended listening sessions. The Hybrid ANC brings up to 40dB of noise cancellation.
The company claims that the headphone can deliver up to 100 hours of playback on a single charge. A short 5-minute charge is claimed to provide up to 8 hours of listening with ANC turned off, while a full charge is stated to take two hours through USB-C. The headphones can also be topped up directly from a smartphone using a Type-C to Type-C cable. The headphones feature a modular build with interchangeable ear cushions. The headphones also offer physical controls instead of touch gestures.
These include a roller dial for volume, playback and noise control, a customizable button and Energy Slider that lets users adjust bass and treble levels in real-time. All settings can be managed through the Nothing X applications. For the sound customisation, the CMF Headphone Pro includes Personal Sound tuning, which adapts audio output based on individual hearing profiles. Spatial Audio is also supported, with modes including concert and cinema.
