Nothing CMF Buds 2 Plus review

The CMF Buds 2 Plus are the premium model among the trio of new earbuds from Nothing. Part of the entry-level CMF range, these are all meant to be relatively affordable, with the most expensive Buds 2 Plus coming in at $69. And if that's not low enough, they cost just $39 (INR 3,299) in India. Compared to the Buds 2 and the Buds 2a, the Buds 2 Plus try to provide an elevated experience with improvements to the audio and ANC side of things. There is a 12mm LCP driver along with LDAC Hi-Res Audio and a claimed 50dB noise cancellation. The rest of the specifications are mostly similar but there also isn't a vast price difference between the models. We will be taking a look at the cheapest Buds 2 model in a separate review but for now, let's get on with the Buds 2 Plus. Design and comfort The Buds 2 Plus design is nearly identical to that of the Buds 2 from last year. The only differences we noticed were a slightly smaller case and a new logo on the exterior, with the company seemingly doing away with the circular logos in favor of the CMF wordmark. Starting with the case, the fit and finish of the exterior are immaculate for such an inexpensive product. There is a lovely soft-touch texture to the shell and the panel gaps are impressively tight. The lid also opens and closes with a satisfying tension and clack. The company clearly takes its name seriously as the CMF (color, material, and finish) is done very well here. In the top left corner of the case is an aluminum rotating dial. Much like the one on the Buds 2, the rotation of the dial is purely ornamental and at best can be used as a fidget spinner. You can attach a lanyard to it but there isn't one provided in the box. It would have been nice if the dial had a function, like the one on the Buds Pro 2 but perhaps Nothing is saving it for a Buds 2 Pro model in the future. Getting to the buds on the inside, they once again have the same design as the CMF Buds from last year but without the circular logos. The back of the stalk is capacitive and supports tap-based gestures. The overall design of the earbuds is comfortable but I wasn't impressed with the material used for the ear tips. They use tackier, plasticky-feeling silicone that you find on very inexpensive earbuds. Not only does it not feel great in your ears but the material also doesn't conform to the shape of your inner ear as well as more premium and softer material. This leaves some gaps that let noise in unless you fastidiously adjust them every few minutes or if you move your head or jaw, even if you pick the correct size for your ears. The similarly priced OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro use the much nicer tips that feel and function a lot better and it would have been nice to see Nothing use those on the Plus model, at least. Software and features The Buds 2 Plus interface with the Nothing X app on your Android or iOS device. From here, you can adjust things like the ANC, audio parameters, touch gestures, and update firmware. Like much of Nothing's software, the Nothing X app is clean and a breeze to operate, something other audio manufacturers could learn from. The app offers a choice of ANC on, off, and a transparency mode. The ANC on mode has three manually controllable levels and an adaptive mode that automatically adjusts the levels based on ambient noise. The app has a bunch of audio options for the Buds 2 Plus. Most prominent is the Spatial audio feature, which I found the least impressive as it was a generic surround sound feature that lacks the nuance of professionally mastered spatial audio you get from Dolby Atmos tracks. There's also no head-tracking support on this model. Nothing X app Nothing is also all-in on the Ultra Bass mode on these CMF buds and it comes enabled by default set to the lowest value of 1. You can turn it up to 5 if you hate good sound (and your ears) but I did all of the testing with the feature fully disabled as there's plenty of bass without it. Next is the Personal sound feature, which we have seen on other models before. It plays a series of tones and you can pick whether you hear it or not and at the end it generates a custom audio profile for each individual ear. Audio settings For this feature to work reliably, you have to be in a dead silent environment, which is not always easy to come by. Otherwise, you will simply not hear the test tones over ambient noise even if your ears are capable of hearing them otherwise, which greatly affects the usefulness of the test. Also, these tests put far too much trust in the quality of the drivers and audio processing to ensure you hear the correct test tone, and I can't say I have that much faith in a pair of budget earbuds. This means I'm never quite sure if I'm not hearing a tone because my ears aren't good enough or because the drivers aren't good enough to produce it properly. As such, I don't put a lot of stock in these tests, but you can give them a shot if the end result is to your liking. Finally, there's the equalizer. You have a few options here with Pop being the default tuning for the earbuds (it's also what you hear if you set the custom preset to 0 values). The presets show little visualizations to show you the general type of tuning you can expect but they don't always make sense; the Electronic preset shows having more bass than Pop even though Pop has audibly more bass. Equalizer Speaking of the custom EQ, we once again have Nothing's incredibly basic and high-key terrible 3-band EQ that is arranged in an odd circular pattern. It's damn near impossible to get any value out of this because of the broad sweeping changes it makes with no fine control or nuance. It also drastically drops the volume of the sound when you adjust anything. It's high time Nothing drops this garbage that is no doubt chosen purely for its aesthetic appeal in favor of a functional EQ with at least 5 bands. Better yet, it can make the 8-band parametric EQ available on the more expensive Nothing Buds available to all models since it is just a software feature already present in the Nothing X app but hidden away from the cheaper models. Performance Audio quality The Buds 2 Plus have 12mm single dynamic drivers with an LCP (liquid crystal polymer) and polyurethane diaphragm. You get your standard SBC and AAC codecs along with LDAC with a maximum bitrate of 990kbps. There is, however, no LC3 support. The audio tuning, done in-house by Nothing, is pretty much what we have come to expect these days from consumer audio products. There is a strong emphasis on bass, even with the Ultra Bass feature disabled, along with mellow mids and highs. Starting with the low end, I found the bass on the Buds 2 Plus to be overbearing at times. This was especially true for the kind of music the Pop preset was designed for, which I'm assessing here since it's the default. In other genres, the bass paints a layer of mush over the rest of the sound, which reduces the overall clarity and makes it a bit murky. The mid-range has a good presence in the mix and is not buried all the way in the back as with a typical v-shaped tuning. However, the vocals sound slightly congested and compressed with an ever-so-slight honkiness to them. However, this is quite subtle and not readily noticeable. The high-end is unremarkable. The default tuning has enough treble for it to not be dark but it doesn't stand out in its presence or detail retrieval. When seen from the lens of a first-time buyer who is most likely the target audience of the Buds 2 Plus, the audio tuning is fine. A buyer in this segment is likely to be inexperienced and undemanding and should find the audio enjoyable. While using the earbuds while just walking around or working without paying attention to the sound, I found the sound reasonably pleasing with only a few tracks being distracting due to the overwhelming bass presence. Unfortunately, the EQ is useless for getting anything close to reference audio and your best bet is to use the Classical preset, which while not perfect is fairly close. I found the combination of the Classical preset and level 2 on Ultra Bass more balanced than the default Pop preset. In comparison, the Nord Buds 3 Pro have a similarly bassy sound but the mids have better timbre and the overall tonality is a bit more pleasing. The CMF Buds 2 Plus also don't get any points for having LDAC as you don't hear the added resolution in the sound. Microphone The Buds 2 Plus have good microphone performance. Voices sounded natural without too much garbling. The level of your voice would go up and down a bit as if you were moving further away from the mic, even though the mic is on your ear. That aside, the overall microphone quality is pretty good for voice calls. The microphone performance is also better compared to the Nord Buds 3 Pro, which continue to have a garbled noise to them months after launch. Noise cancellation The Buds 2 Plus have active noise cancellation using the six onboard microphones. Nothing claims up to 50dB of cancellation in a 5400MHz frequency range. The noise cancellation performance is good for the price. You get satisfactory attenuation in the low-frequency ranges and decent in the mid-ranges. The high frequencies aren't as well tuned out, and part of that is due to the cheap ear tips which don't always create a perfect seal. At times some high-frequency sounds also come in more prominently, which can be distracting. However, for the most part, the ANC performance is decent. Similarly, the transparency performance was also found to be adequate, with a reasonably natural rendition of the ambient sounds. There is some difference in the sound between the ANC on and off modes. I found the ANC off sound to be a bit less bass-heavy. That, along with the combination of the ambient sound makes the earbuds sound less congested and more balanced. When at home, I would prefer to turn the ANC off instead of keeping it on all the time. Latency The Buds 2 Plus have decent latency performance. When tested with a Nothing Phone (2), some titles had good latency performance while others didn't. The Low lag mode in the Nothing X app didn't seem to do much, as apps that worked well had low latency even with the option disabled and those that had poor latency saw no improvement with the option enabled. Connection The Buds 2 Plus had reliable connectivity performance. I only noticed some warbling when using 990kbps on non-Nothing phones but on the Nothing Phone (2) even that mode was rock solid. Battery life The Buds 2 Plus have a claimed battery life of 14 hours with ANC disabled and using AAC. With LDAC, that number drops down to 8 hours. In my testing, I got 14 hours and 23 minutes when using AAC and 8 hours and 34 minutes when using LDAC, so the company's figures are accurate. Nothing also claims 4.5 hours of continuous playback with AAC after a 10-minute charge. I got 4 hours 35 minutes, which was once again within spitting distance of the claimed figure. And while Nothing does not mention the LDAC figure, I got 2 hours and 51 minutes, which is respectable. Conclusion The CMF Buds 2 Plus offer good overall performance for the price. The design and build quality are good, the earbuds are comfortable, the battery life is excellent, the microphone performance is commendable, and the Nothing X app is clean and easy to use. Downsides include unremarkable audio quality coupled with a limited and clumsy custom equalizer as well as cheap-feeling and underperforming ear tips. For the price, these are easy to look past, especially since the target customer is unlikely to know any better. Still, it would have been nice if the Plus model didn't have these shortcomings to justify its higher price over its siblings. The Buds 2 Plus can't quite stand out from the crowd with similarly priced options, such as the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro, which perform more or less the same. They are, however, a competent all-rounder and if you like the design of the hardware and software over the competition then that would be a good enough reason to pick them over the rest.

CMF Buds 2 & Buds 2 Plus Review: Budget options that look cool and sound great

Recently we saw that Nothing extended its CMF family with the launch of the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Alongside the phone, the company also introduced two new audio products — CMF Buds 2 and CMF Buds 2 Plus — clearly aiming to shake up the budget TWS space with solid features and a distinctive CMF touch. The CMF Buds 2 are priced at ₹2,699 while the Buds 2 Plus retail at ₹3,299, making them two of the most competitive wireless earbuds in their segment right now. These earbuds are cut from the same design cloth but tuned to appeal to slightly different use cases— the Buds 2 being more straightforward and the Buds 2 Plus offering more polish and power. Let's break down how they perform in the real-world and where they hit—or miss—their marks. Design Both CMF Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus carry the signature CMF design DNA — minimalist, modern, and thoughtfully crafted. The charging cases are compact yet stylish, featuring a mix of matte finishes and transparent dial wraps that give them a distinct, almost industrial flair. The Buds 2 Plus get extra polish with a soft-touch coating and sandblasted metal accents, while the Buds 2 lean more towards a clean, matte aesthetic with subtle metallic touches. In the hand, both cases feel premium — solid enough to toss into a bag or pocket without worry. The earbuds themselves are lightweight, ergonomically shaped, and fit securely without causing fatigue. Even during long listening sessions or calls, the buds sit comfortably in-ear, which is ideal for workouts or commutes. Whether you're on a run or in a meeting, the fit remains snug without that typical in-ear pressure. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Control-wise, both models come with responsive touch panels. A double tap skips tracks or answers calls, a triple tap takes you back, and a tap & hold toggles between ANC and Transparency Mode. The gestures work well, and for those who like customisation, the Nothing X app offers options to remap them to your liking. In terms of durability, Nothing has done a commendable job. The earbuds are IP55-rated, making them resistant to sweat, dust, and the occasional splash — perfect for gym use or unpredictable weather. The charging cases have an IPX2 rating, which isn't waterproof but will survive minor drizzles or moisture exposure. Overall, both earbuds are built to handle daily wear and tear with confidence. Connectivity Both Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus come with Bluetooth 5.4 and support Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair, ensuring a fast and frictionless connection experience. Pairing is as simple as opening the case near your phone — modern and intuitive, just as it should be in 2025. With dual-device pairing, you can seamlessly switch between your phone and laptop, which is a huge convenience for multitaskers. We had no connection drops in our usage, and the 10-meter range held strong even through a couple of walls indoors. Gamers will appreciate the Low Lag Mode, especially when used with a Nothing Phone, where latency drops to under 105 ms (Buds 2 Plus) and 110 ms (Buds 2). Smart Features With the Nothing X app, available on both Android and iOS, users get access to a host of useful features. You can customise EQ settings, remap touch controls, switch ANC modes, locate your earbuds, and apply software updates. Both earbuds also come with in-ear detection, so playback auto-pauses when you remove them, and resumes when you put them back in. Also notable are the 'Find My Earbuds' feature — handy for the forgetful crowd — and LED status indicators on the case for quick battery checks. Sound Quality Sound quality is where these earbuds impress, especially for their price point. The CMF Buds 2 feature an 11mm PMI driver tuned with Dirac Opteo, delivering clean mids, deep bass, and well-separated highs. Music feels open, and vocals come through crisp, with Ultra Bass Technology 2.0 adding low-end punch without muddying the mix. Step up to the Buds 2 Plus, and you get a slightly wider and more detailed soundstage. The 12mm LCP driver combined with LDAC support and Nothing's custom tuning brings Hi-Res Audio into the mix. If you're someone who streams lossless or high-bitrate audio, the Plus variant definitely shines brighter with more dynamic range and clarity. Both models support Spatial Audio Effect, using HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) to simulate immersive 3D audio. While not as refined as what you might find on premium flagship earbuds, it adds depth when watching content or gaming. ANC On the ANC front, both buds pack in solid noise-cancelling chops. Buds 2 Plus offer up to 50dB hybrid ANC with Smart Adaptive Mode, while Buds 2 come close with 48dB hybrid ANC and Environmental Adaptive ANC. Both also support Transparency Mode for ambient listening when you need to stay aware. In practice, I will say that in its range, the ANC on both earbuds is quite good. However, there is a small but consistent issue across both models: when ANC is turned on but no audio is playing, you can hear a faint 'air' or static sound in the background. It's not disruptive during playback but noticeable in silent moments. Battery Both models come with a good battery life. The CMF Buds 2 offer 13.5 hours of playback on a single charge, going up to 55 hours with the case (ANC off). A 10-minute top-up yields 7.5 hours of playback, which is impressive. The Buds 2 Plus stretches even further, with up to 15.5 hours standalone playback and a whopping 61.5 hours with the case (AAC, ANC off). Even with ANC on, they manage a respectable 7.5 hours, and fast charging nets 8.5 hours with a quick 10-minute juice-up. Both use USB-C and take under 95 minutes to fully charge — consistent and dependable. Verdict In a market full of me-too budget earbuds, Nothing's CMF Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus manage to stand out, not just for their design, but for everything they offer at this price. Both models are easy to recommend, especially if you're on a budget and want something that looks cool, sounds great, and doesn't compromise on modern features. That one issue — the static hiss with ANC on, does take away from the experience slightly, but not enough to be a dealbreaker.

The best true wireless earbuds on a budget

The True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds market is flooded with numerous new offerings from companies such as CMF (a sub-brand of Nothing), Realme, Sony, OnePlus, EarFun, Noise, and others. These earbuds incorporate features from the more premium segment and democratise tech with affordable offerings that boast a robust sound profile. They come with noise cancellation, seamless integration with smartphones (both Android and iOS), a good premium build, and even bass-boosted offerings. Indian consumer technology brand Noise shook up the TWS earbuds market back in February. The company launched the Noise Master Buds, featuring tuning by the legendary company Bose. Yes, the Noise Master Buds feature tuned audio with Sound by Bose technology. These buds are priced at ₹ 7,999 and come in three colours: Onyx, Titanium, and Silver. The partnership with a major audio company is unprecedented in this price segment. The Noise Master Buds feature a vinyl disc-shaped design, 12.4mm titanium drivers, and offer a battery life of up to 34 hours with active noise cancellation (ANC). It only misses out on wireless charging, but that's a given in this price segment rather than a shortcoming. A six-microphone system with Enhanced Noise Cancellation (ENC) also helps improve voice clarity. They support the LHDC 5.0 codec. Essentially, the Noise Master Buds provide a clear, balanced, and punchy sound with a wide soundstage. The bass isn't overpowering, and the entire offering is remarkably close to an accurate replication of the Bose sound. That's quite the achievement in this segment. Just the other day, CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing, launched not one but three TWS earbuds. The Buds 2 Plus is the premier offering at ₹ 3,299. These earbuds feature Hi-Res LDAC, full EQ customisation, 50dB hybrid ANC, and a rich, balanced sound with a wide soundstage, inviting you to experience a concert-like sound right in your ears. The Buds 2 Plus offers 14 hours of battery life (with the ANC off) and 61.5 hours with the case. Furthermore, these have the lowest low-latency mode, at 105ms (connected to a phone running Nothing OS). They feature an IP65 dust and water resistance rating and three microphones on each bud, with Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 and Clear Voice Technology 3.0. Also read: Are microdramas the next big thing? If you're in the market for a pair of TWS earbuds and can't decide which one to buy, then you're in luck. I'm here to list a few more options (besides the two above) for your consideration. I've only included the best of the best in the ₹ 8,000 and below segment. The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 might be tuned by Dynaudio, but they cost over ₹ 10,000. The OnePlus Buds 3, on the other hand, may lack Dynaudio tuning, but it comes at a more palatable price point of ₹ 5,499. They may be bass-heavy, but they have a rich set of features alongside a lightweight and comfortable fit. These buds are ideal for your commute thanks to their strong active noise cancellation. With ANC on, the OnePlus Buds 3 lasts almost seven hours (the case provides four extra charges). It's one of the best audio products the company has released. There's a good detail sound quality with a tilt towards the bass (thankfully, it doesn't overpower). These earbuds provide a comfortable listening experience for hours, spanning various genres. Price: ₹ 5,499 Availability: OnePlus Official Store, OnePlus retail store, Amazon, Flipkart JBL has never been a major player in the TWS earbud market. They've been churning out products, but nothing has ever excited the consumers. That perception changed with the launch of the Live Pro 2, alongside the Live Free 2 Buds. The Live Pro 2 features a stem-style design and a supremely comfortable fit. They have one of the best ANCs in this class. The JBL Live Pro 2 features multipoint Bluetooth pairing, an IPX5 splash-proof rating, and wireless charging— a rarity in this segment. Priced at ₹ 6,999, the Live Pro 2 has 30 hours of battery life (eight hours on a single charge) and is a compelling option. The Live Pro 2 features an entertaining and lively soundstage that works across various genres. Just don't expect instrument separation to be at its best, and there is a lack of the bass-heavy thump you might be expecting. Price: ₹ 6,999 Priced at ₹ 4,999, the Realme Buds Air6 Pro are an inexpensive pair of TWS earbuds. They offer good ANC and a robust sound for those on a tighter budget. They are direct competitors to the eternal favourite, the Oppo Enco Air3 Pro. The Buds Air6 Pro are a massive upgrade from their predecessors. With dual drivers and 360-degree spatial audio support, these are the ideal choice for bass enthusiasts on a budget. The Buds Air6 Pro provide a surprisingly loud and clear sound. It's bass-forward and punchy, and even when ANC is enabled, the sound quality remains intact. The earbuds may not be able to deliver a concert-like sound, but they do the job for your daily work playlists, calls, and more. They also support multipoint connectivity. The downside is that you've got to sign in to use the app, and the design is on the blingy side. Price: ₹ 4,999 The EarFun Air Pro 4 earbuds are hard to beat. Priced at ₹ 6,626 (currently discounted on Amazon), these are a value-for-money pair of TWS earbuds that have an excellent sound profile, support for AAC, AptX and LDAC audio codecs, and extra features such as wireless charging, ear-detection sensors and more. The EarFun Air Pro 4's have an energetic sound quality to them. The 10mm drivers are adept at handling bass and have a natural tilt toward it. There's a good amount of instrument separation as well. The EarFun Air Pro 4's come with adjustable EQ, strong ANC, IPX5 rating, excellent battery life and more. Price: ₹ 6,626 One of the best budget pair of TWS earbuds for making calls. The Nothing Ear (a) earbuds excel at voice calls and effectively cancel out background noise. The Nothing Ear (a) features a more pocketable design and several ear tips for that tight seal you've always wanted. They're comfortable and won't be falling out of your ears. They support AAC, SBC, and LDAC Bluetooth codecs and connect to your devices via Bluetooth 5.3. You can get almost nine hours of playback on a single charge, which is quite impressive. Priced at ₹ 5,999, the Nothing Ear (a) earbuds won't blow you away. They're suitable for the casual pop playlists you may have and those gym sessions of yours. Even for conference calls, they're a good option. Just don't expect anything more out of them. Price: ₹ 5,999 The Soundcore Liberty 4 NC TWS earbuds may have been released in 2023, but at a discounted price of ₹ 7,999, these are definitely worth keeping on your shopping list. The Liberty 4 NC earbuds improved on noise cancellation and sound quality vis-a-vis their predecessors. Furthermore, they support LDAC audio code. Most Android smartphones launched recently support the LDAC audio codec, and when streaming high-res tracks, you can feel the difference. These lightweight earbuds feature single custom drivers and a completely different case design. As for the sound quality, you may ask. Well, you cannot go wrong. There is a strong bass performance, a smoother treble and an overall pleasant sound that works across genres, thanks to the wide soundstage. They have a companion app for both iOS and Android. The earbuds are available in several colour options - black, blue, light blue, pink and white - and have an IPX4 splash-proof rating. Furthermore, these last up to 10 hours on a single charge. Noise cancellation is also adequate for the price. The parent company, Anker, has launched the Soundcore Liberty 5 Earbuds globally, but there is no word on India availability yet. Price: ₹ 7,999 Also read: Planning your next holiday? These apps will make your life easier
