The CMF Headphone Pro have officially launched in the European Union and United Kingdom, offering a budget-friendly alternative to premium over-ear models. Priced at just $99, these headphones provide extensive customization options and are scheduled to reach the United States market on October 7th, 2025. They come in understated dark gray, light green, and light gray finishes, with optional vibrant orange or light green replacement ear cushions available for $25 to add a personal touch.
Instead of using touch-sensitive controls, the Headphone Pro features tactile buttons designed for easy identification and operation. A circular power and Bluetooth button sits on one earcup, while the opposite side houses a customizable action button managed through the Nothing X app. A multi-function roller handles volume adjustments, playback commands, and ambient sound levels. The standout feature is the Energy Slider, which allows users to modify the balance between bass and treble directly on the headphones without needing to access the app’s equalizer settings.
These headphones come equipped with adaptive active noise cancellation that automatically modifies its intensity based on surrounding environmental sounds. However, using ANC does impact battery performance significantly. With a fully charged 720mAh battery, the Headphone Pro can deliver up to 100 hours of playback. Activating noise cancellation reduces this to approximately 50 hours, which still surpasses the battery life of competing models like the Nothing Headphone 1 and Sony’s WH-1000XM6 under similar conditions.
For times when the battery runs low, a quick five-minute charge provides up to four hours of listening time. The Headphone Pro also supports recharging via a direct USB-C connection to many modern smartphones, adding convenience for travelers and on-the-go users.
