Nothing's budget-friendly CMF brand has entered the open-ear audio category with the new Clip Pro earbuds. These clip-on earbuds prioritize comfort and environmental awareness over noise isolation.
Each earbud weighs just 5.9 grams and carries an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
The design features a flexible C-bridge with a titanium wire core that can be bent to fit different ear shapes.
The audio is powered by a 10.8mm dual-magnetic dynamic driver with a TPU diaphragm. Nothing claims this driver is “bigger than most clip-on drivers.”
Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.4 with dual-device support, along with LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs for higher-quality streaming when available.
Battery and Controls
Battery life is rated at up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, extending to 32.5 hours with the charging case.
A quick 10-minute top-up provides a few extra hours of listening.
The charging case includes CMF's signature smart knob, or Smart Dial. It allows you to adjust volume, control playback, answer calls, or start pairing without unlocking your phone.
Each earbud also has a physical button, which is convenient during workouts or when wearing gloves.
Other practical features include Google Quick Pair and Microsoft Quick Pair support.
As open-ear clip-style earbuds, the Clip Pro lets outside sound in while directing audio toward the ear canal.
CMF has added technology to compensate for the typical bass drop-off associated with this form factor.
The earbuds come in light gray, dark gray, and coral.
They are designed for people who want to stay aware of their surroundings while commuting, exercising, or simply preferring not to be fully sealed off.
Pricing and Availability
The CMF Clip Pro will be available in the UK, US, and Japan from August 15 in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Coral for £79 / $99 via Nothing's website and select retail partners.
In Europe and other markets, it will go on sale from September 15. It will not be available in India.
