Nothing, the UK tech brand, continues its streak of frequent product releases. Since its inception in 2022, Nothing has introduced a range of devices, including Android phones, smartwatches, and earbuds. The latest addition to their lineup is a pair of over-the-ear headphones, marking CMF’s transition from a budget sub-brand to a standalone product within Nothing’s offerings.

Differentiating itself from Nothing’s usual style, the CMF Headphone Pro opts for a design without translucent casings, maintaining a unique aesthetic appeal that may not suit everyone’s taste. Despite the somewhat polarizing appearance, the headphones deliver impressive sound quality, earning praise in that aspect.

The Headphone Pro features tactile and clicky controls with a distinct bass-boost slide button, a rarity in the market. Additionally, it offers a combined roller/button for volume adjustment, track switching, and ANC control, along with a dedicated voice assistant button for added convenience.

The headphones excel in active noise cancellation, effectively reducing constant background noise while listening to music, although sudden loud sounds may still penetrate. Priced at £79, the CMF Headphone Pro offers a compelling package for both Android and iOS users, standing out for its affordability compared to competitors like Sony and Bose, despite potentially lacking some advanced features.
