CMF by Nothing briefly surprised us on April 14, 2025, when the product page for the CMF Buds 2 wireless earbuds went live on its official website—revealing full details about the upcoming earbuds. The page was taken down shortly after, but not before confirming significant upgrades, including improved active noise cancellation (ANC), extended battery life, and advanced audio features. It’s expected to be priced under $60.
CMF Buds 2 official details
The Buds 2 retain a familiar design, mirroring their predecessors with a case in CMF’s signature Dark Gray and Orange, plus a fresh Light Green option. Despite smaller 11mm “PMI” drivers compared to the original, they benefit from Dirac Opteo tuning, promising “exceptional” sound quality.
The earbuds feature 48dB hybrid ANC, up from 42dB of the predecessor, meaning it will offer better noise cancellation. It will also feature Spatial Audio for an immersive experience. Battery life is a standout for the Buds 2, with up to 13.5 hours per charge and a case that extends total playback to 55 hours—9.5 hours more than the first generation.
Connectivity sees a boost with Bluetooth 5.4, which supports both Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for seamless pairing. The IP55 ingress protection rating ensures it can handle splashes of water and sweat, which is a welcome feature. The onboard ChatGPT integration, similar to what’s found on Nothing phones, also adds a smart touch. These enhancements make the Buds 2 a compelling upgrade for audio enthusiasts.
According to the now-removed listing, the Buds 2 were priced at £34 (down from £39), €39.95 (down from €49.95), and $59.99, with availability expected from April 16. If accurate, this early reveal ahead of the anticipated Phone 2 Pro launch later this month highlights CMF’s strategy of building momentum with feature-rich, budget-friendly accessories. Priced competitively, the Buds 2 could set a new standard in the affordable audio segment.
