CMF Buds Neo Delivers Budget-Friendly Sound and Noise Cancellation
The CMF Buds Neo are wireless earbuds designed to be affordable.
They cost ₹1,999.
The reviewer says they fit comfortably and stay in place.
They sound good for their price, with defined bass and detailed treble.
Their noise cancellation helps block traffic, wind, and other steady sounds.
Their microphones make voices clearer during phone calls.
The battery lasts a long time, especially when the charging case is included.
However, Spatial Audio is disappointing and changing the bass setting makes little difference.
CMF by Nothing’s Buds Neo cost ₹1,999 and offer pleasing sound with strong active noise cancellation.
The earbuds provide up to 11 hours of battery life without ANC and 8.5 hours with ANC enabled.
Their charging case extends total battery life to 52 hours without ANC and 30 hours with ANC.
Four microphones effectively reduce wind and steady background noise during calls, though intermittent high-pitched sounds can still break through.
The earbuds feature customisable touch controls, six EQ presets, dual-device connectivity, and IP54 water-and-dust resistance.
