Nothing CMF Buds 2 review
- The CMF Buds 2 are part of Nothing's budget lineup, priced at $59/₤39 or INR 2,699, offering features similar to the Plus model but with some compromises like a smaller driver and lower ANC.
- Design-wise, the Buds 2 closely resemble the Buds 2 Plus, with minor differences in materials and finish, and both models feature small, comfortable earbuds but with less satisfactory ear tips.
- In terms of software, the Buds 2 use the Nothing X app with slight differences, including Dirac Opteo as the default EQ preset, lacking LDAC support and the Personal Sound feature.
- Audio quality comparison between the Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus reveals warmer, bassier sound on the Buds 2 with a fuller mid-range, making vocals bold and better balanced, particularly suited for genres like pop.
- While the Buds 2 offer multiple EQ options, transitioning between presets causes breaks in sound, except for the custom preset based on Opteo processing, with a less favorable 3-band EQ design.
- Microphone performance on the Buds 2 is good, providing clear voice transmission with minimal modulation, but noise cancellation is decent with good low-frequency suppression and some leakage due to ear tip fit.
- Battery life on the Buds 2 exceeds expectations, delivering around 13.5 hours of playback without ANC and 4 hours with a 10-minute charge.
- Overall, the CMF Buds 2 emerge as a strong choice in their price bracket, offering comfort, good battery life, microphone quality, and ANC performance, ultimately proving superior in sound tuning compared to the Plus model.
