Get the scoop on the highly anticipated CMF Buds 2, featuring design, specs, and pricing information leaked ahead of the launch!

Introduction to CMF Buds 2

The CMF division under Nothing is gearing up to unveil three new devices on April 28. Among the most anticipated is the new pair of headphones, the CMF Buds 2. Thanks to a significant information leak, we now know a great deal about them, including their design, potential features, and even an estimated price.

The CMF Buds 2 will launch alongside the CMF Phone 2 Pro, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus during the event set for April 28.

Design Aspects of the CMF Buds 2

Let’s dive into the design. Based on the leaked renders, the CMF Buds 2 feature a square shape that might look somewhat familiar. You'll notice the CMF by Nothing logo, along with the signature wheel design reminiscent of the previous model.

On the surface, the case is marked with “Buds 2” and a button, likely used for pairing the headphones with another device. The earbuds themselves have an angular shape and fit snugly in the ear. At the base, you can spot the magnetic contacts for charging and microphones that are used for noise cancellation and calls.

According to the leaked information, the buds will be available in three colors: black, orange, and green.

Specs Leak - What to Expect

The leak also details the specifications of these budget-friendly headphones. Reports suggest that they will come equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PMI diaphragm, tuned with Dirac Opteo, aimed at providing higher sound quality. Additionally, they will include Ultra Bass 2.0 technology, spatial audio, and an immersive sound effect.

Despite being budget headphones, they may feature active noise cancellation (ANC), which is an exciting prospect according to the report.

Key Features of CMF Buds 2:

• 11mm dynamic drivers with PMI
• Ultra Bass 2.0 technology
• Spatial audio
• HRTF algorithm for immersive sound
• ANC up to 48 dB
• Clear Voice Technology 3.0
• Wind Noise Reduction 3.0
• IP55 rating
• 13.5 hours of battery life without the case, up to 55 hours with the case

As you can see, the leak provides nearly all the vital information regarding the earbuds. It's refreshing to see that they are likely going to include noise-canceling features with environmental adaptation for real-time adjustments.

Moreover, there are reports of AI integration with ChatGPT through an app, which will be handy for those who frequently use a generative AI assistant. The headphones are said to have an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, along with a low-latency mode.

For connectivity, you can expect Bluetooth 5.4 along with support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. Naturally, like any modern headphones, you can customize the equalizer and ANC in the Nothing X app.

The battery specs look promising on paper, and charging is reportedly completed in just 93 minutes.

According to reports, the price for the Buds 2 is set at €59, which translates to about $65. This is still considered affordable, albeit slightly pricier than its predecessor, the CMF Buds.
