Just got these grey CMF Buds Pro 2 and wow, they’re a mixed bag of surprises! The case’s spinny dial is weirdly satisfying – like fidgeting with a high-tech worry stone. Customizable controls via the Nothing X app? Chef’s kiss.

Sound-wise, the bass punches HARD (maybe too hard – I keep Ultra Bass at level 2). Mids/highs stay crisp though, and LDAC makes my FLAC files sing. Noise cancelling? Solid for subway rides, but AirPods Pro 2 still edge it out.

Battery life’s been 8-9hrs per charge (ANC on), but that ‘43hrs with case’ claim feels optimistic. Pro tip: disable dual connection if you want extra juice.

Downsides? The touch controls go CLUNK when tapped – midnight skip-track feels like someone’s banging pots in your ears. Also, no wireless charging feels criminal in 2025.

For $60? Absolute steal if you prioritize bass and fun features over polish. Just don’t expect Bose-level ANC or AirPod seamlessness.
