Just got this today and was pretty excited. Sound is decent and I could tune them to my hearing which is nice. Reviews claimed it had decent anc for the price, however, there is no difference between the anc and normal modes. I am not exaggerating. I played with the app going back and forth between the modes for a good 5 minutes... no difference. With noice cancelation on at max I could still hear sounds that should've been easily blocked, such as footsteps while walking indoors. Yes the headphones are updated. Perhaps, I have a faulty pair... I don't know. Edit: Played with the ANC in a noisier environment and I could tell the difference between all the modes. Wind noise cancelation works well. Going to keep them and see how newer updates help them improve over time. Also have a pair of Earfun Pro 4s and these are close to those in relation to sound quality. The NC is just a little lacking as far as I can tell, but better than I initially thought. Adding a star. Read more

Literally received these 20 minutes ago and they are WOW! I read a bunch of reviews and opted for the Buds 2 Plus, coming from PowerBeats 2. I'm literally hearing things in songs I've never heard before. I've stuck with PowerBeats for a LONG time and mostly due to how they fit and feel. The Buds 2 Plus don't have that signature boomy Beats bass but it's great! Instead I now have punchy bass and so much better audio clarity all around. These are blowing my mind. Totally made my day. Also, I calibrated for my hearing. I've been in construction most of my life, so my right ear doesn't hear as crisp, but after calibration, for once in my life both buds sound the same! Bonus, these are the only in ear buds I've ever had that don't hurt to wear. That's one reason I've stuck with the PowerBeats for the earhook and comfort. I'm also listening to these at a far lower volume than usual. So if you like your music "ear bleeding" loud, these can do it. Only negative I've found, when you crank them up, bass doesn't increase proportional to the mids and highs. No biggie for me because there's no way I can listen to them much louder than what looks to be about 60% volume on my iPhone. Read more

These are legit awesome. Best earbuds I’ve used, no question. Sound is clean, deep, and full. They lean a bit bass-heavy at first, but that’s easy to dial in with the app. The personal sound profile setup makes a noticeable difference once that’s tuned, everything feels way more natural and tailored. They’re super comfortable and stay put. No pressure points, no readjusting every five minutes. Battery life is great, and the case isn’t bulky. I’ve used them for hours at a time with no fatigue. Noise cancellation is wild. Blocks out background stuff without that weird vacuum feel. And when you want to hear the outside world, the aware mode doesn’t sound tinny or artificial like others I’ve used. At this price point, yeah, they’re premium—but so are the AirPods Pro, and these absolutely crush them. AirPods are cooked. You’re paying that kind of money anyway, get the ones that actually sound good. If you care about audio and comfort, these are it. Read more

Ok all who reads? This should know, that as most I have purchased just about every earbud except for possibly techniques. Most recent, I purchased pixel buds pro 3 and the latest Galaxy pro buds then returned. I own Apple airpods pro 2, as I used to be an iPhone user and really believe in these buds. After recently switching to a pixel 9, I set on an adventure to look for the closest buds I could find that sound and operate like airpods. I could tell you that the nothing ear CMF units are the closest to airpods when it comes to echo canceling and the sound when walking, there is no thumping or clunk from your heels hitting the floor or it may be equal to airpods Non-detectable You love to listen to music? All types, Want good quality? Great workout buds comfort lightweight price is perfect. Invest in nothing ear. CMF Read more

Edit: So the ANC has been turning off and on when outside and for some reason my audio straight up stopped working until I put them back into the case and removed them. Knocking a star off for these issues. Will be receiving a replacement (unfortunately taking a week for that). Will update once again when I get them. Alright, let's start this off by noting that these punch heavily about their price point. I'd go as far as to say there's no reason to buy anything else in the wireless IEM market at this price point and higher, unless you have an iPhone or Samsung phone and want their device specific features. I have not used these long enough to judge battery life but I'll update this review once I have. Pros: - audio is GREAT. The personal sound profile is a MUST. It really elevates the audio to another level. Spatial sound really opens up the soundstage and improves the audio quality as well. I'm currently using these with the EQ set to custom and everything untouched at 0. The personal profile IS my EQ. - ANC works very very well. It cancels out the majority of noise around me and isn't making my ears feel a ton of pressure. - earbud fit in my ear is wonderful. I'm using the medium eartips. Probably helps that they copied the airpod design, which is known to be comfortable. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? There is also a feature in the app that helps determine how well they fit your ear. They don't feel like they're going to fall out and they aren't making my ears hurt after x amount of time. Cons: - the case has a little fidget disc that on their other earbuds, actually functions as a volume knob. Disappointing it's on the case for these but does nothing. - case gripe again, it's a square. A rectangular shape would be better. - without the audio enhancements turned on (spatial sound mainly) audio sounds pretty meh. - slight gripe but COLOURS. Only blue and white available here on Amazon? I went with blue because I do not want them mistaken for airpods. Manufacturers need to not be afraid of colour variety on their products. Read more

Bought these almost on a whim, because my old earbuds wouldn't hold a charge anymore. I'll let others talk about sound profiles and frequency curves, I want to talk about noise isolation. I often use my earbuds as hearing protection while using power tools (my last pair were ISOtunes for this reason). This morning I used these while pressure washing a deck, and I have to say that the noise isolation on these, even with ANC turned off, feels every bit as good as that of the OSHA-compliant ISOtunes. With ANC on, my music was impressively crisp and clear even with the pressure washer whirring away only six feet away. These are comfortable to wear, the sound quality is fantastic, and I love the dark blue color. I've already recommended them to a few people, and I'm not usually the kind of person to go out of my way to do that kind of thing. (I'm also not usually the kind of person to leave reviews unless a product is either incredibly good or incredibly bad, which should tell you something right there.) One last thing: the app is actually good. No ads, no boat, easy to use, and you don't need to make an account to use it. I installed the app, opened the buds, and they were detected and paired in seconds. For the price, I really don't think these can be beat. Read more

First off, if you're not an audiophile and are thinking of buying this, absolutely do. This is the best sound quality earbuds under $100 probably ever, way better than my Airpods 3. I 'downgraded' from Galaxy Buds Pro2 to these and there are only minor differences. So the fact that these $70 pair of earbuds can stand up to a nearly $300 pair of earbuds is impressive to say the least. First off, sound quality is impressive, close to something like Airpods Pro level. Clear vocals with very nice bass response (almost too nice). Instrument and vocal separation is good with a relatively filled out sound stage. The only thing I will say is that something in the higher range is just a little off, giving some guitar sounds or orchestral music a bit of a harsh, biting quality in some tracks. Not to big a deal if you don't care about it, though, and it no doubt can be ameliorated by the app's EQ. Note that this is all with regular AAC plus Dolby Sound (on a Galaxy S21), so if you have a device that supports LDAC, the experience only gets better. Also on the plus side of things, I have to mentiong the battery life, which is stellar. However, everything else is only ok. The case doesn't feel cheap (thank goodness) but it doesn't exactly feel premium either. the wheel on the side of the case is purely non-functional (although it can act as a lanyard attachment point: a downgrade from the CMF Buds 2 Pro). As to the earbuds, they definitely look and feel a little cheap, and the touch controls suck. The noise cancelling is only fine, and the function that pauses the music when you take it out of your ears only works if you're not sweating. So overall, if you're looking for a great audio for cheap, buy this. But if you're looking for a premium experience in every respect, you're going to have to bite the bullet and pay the eighty to ninety dollars extra for Airpods or Bose. I hope this helps. Read more
