Nothing‘s sub-brand CMF has just rolled out meaningful firmware updates for three of its popular budget earbuds: the CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus. If you’ve been waiting for refreshed performance or just hoping for fewer hiccups with your everyday wireless listening, you’ll want to pay attention to these updates.

What’s New For Each Model?

CMF Buds 2 (Version 1.0.1.32)

• Ultra Bass Revamped: The headline here is sound quality improvements in Ultra Bass mode, promising richer bass that’s punchy but not overwhelming.
• Bug Fixes: Various under-the-hood tweaks should mean a more reliable experience overall.

CMF Buds 2a (Version 1.0.1.46)

• Polish, Inside and Out: Buds 2a users are getting an update focused on bug fixes and general stability, aiming to keep your daily listening smooth and hassle-free.

CMF Buds 2 Plus (Version 1.0.1.40)

• Ultra Bass Upgrade: Like the regular Buds 2, the Plus version also sees an improved Ultra Bass sound profile.
• LDAC Improvements: Audiophiles running LDAC will appreciate performance boosts for high-res streaming, a subtle but welcome refinement for those who notice the little things.
• Bug Squashing: General bug fixes round out the update for an all-around better experience.

All updates are rolling out in a staggered fashion, so don’t worry if you don’t see them right away. To update your CMF earbuds, use the Nothing X app. Start by connecting the earbuds to your phone and ensuring the Nothing X app is up to date. Open the app and go to the settings menu, usually found in the top right corner. Look for the “Firmware Update” option and tap it. The app will check for any available updates. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to begin. Make sure the earbuds have at least 30% battery, are placed in the charging case, and the case remains open during the update.

CMF by Nothing has finally revealed the launch date for its upcoming smartphone along with a couple of its new truly wireless earbuds. The CMF Phone 2 Pro, CMF Buds 2 Plus, CMF Buds 2, and CMF Buds 2a are set to debut later this month, so here’s what we know so far.

CMF Phone 2 Pro, CMF Buds 2 Series Launch Date

In the latest teaser, the company confirmed that the upcoming mid range smartphone and TWS earbuds will be announced on 28th April 2025. This marks the second smartphone launch from CMF following the CMF Phone 1, which debuted back in 2023. Apart from revealing the launch date, the image poster also showcases the camera layout for the rear sensors. It appears that there are three shooters at the back along with an LED flash module.

In one of the previous teasers, CMF revealed that it is working on a new textured back with a tactile finish for the CMF Phone 2. The image shared a close up of the device with a sleek finish and a metallic screw in one corner. So the customizability is being retained over its predecessor. There has been a render mock up that does showcase the possible design but these are still unconfirmed at the moment. Based on what we know so far, the CMF Phone 2 could have a MediaTek Dimensity chip and may sport a smaller 6.3-inch display.

Alongside this smartphone, the company is set to announce the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2 Plus, and CMF Buds 2a. These are the successors to the original CMF Buds and will likely arrive at multiple price points. Back in February 2025, the Buds Plus model surfaced on the FCC database, revealing its design, dimensions, battery capacity (53mAh earbuds, 460mAh charging case), and charging speeds (3W). So stick around around for more as we will be covering the launch event later this month.
