CMF's first over-ear headphones have an energy slider for boosting bass and treble

"CMF, the budget-focused sub-brand that Nothing plans to spin off into a standalone subsidiary, has launched its first pair of over-ear wireless headphones. The CMF Headphone Pro borrows features like a multi-function roller control from Nothing's Headphone 1 that debuted in July, but while Nothing's over-ears feature a polarizing boxy design, CMF's go hard on the soft curves with round earcups, cushions, and a well-padded headband."

"The CMF Headphone Pro offer adaptive active noise cancellation that will automatically adjust the aggressiveness of the sound dampening based on the intensity of the ambient noise around you, but it does come with a big battery hit. CMF says you can get up to 100 hours of playback with the Pro's 720mAh battery fully charged, but that's reduced to up to 50 hours with ANC turned on."

CMF released the Headphone Pro as a budget over-ear option with soft curves, round earcups, and a well-padded headband. The Pro includes tactile buttons, a multi-function roller for volume and playback, and an Energy Slider to quickly shift treble and bass balance without the app. The headphones offer adaptive active noise cancellation that adjusts aggressiveness based on ambient noise. The 720mAh battery delivers up to 100 hours of playback with ANC off and up to 50 hours with ANC on. The Headphone Pro costs $99, ships now in the EU and UK, and arrives in the US on October 7, 2025.
