CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing, has unveiled its new over-ear CMF Headphone Pro, aiming to deliver a premium listen at a down-to-earth price. The model is already on sale for 99 euros on the company’s official website. The bundle includes a soft case and a 3.5 mm audio cable, and the headphones come in three finishes: light gray, light green, and dark gray. With sales underway, early reviews have also appeared.
The headband doesn’t fold, which may complicate packing, yet ergonomics and comfort are clearly a priority. Soft padding on the band and the ear cushions keeps them feeling light even during long sessions. The ear pads are easy to remove and can be swapped for alternatives in different colors.
All controls are physical. A scroll wheel on the right earcup adjusts volume and also handles playback and track switching, while a long press toggles between noise-canceling and transparency modes. Testers say the ANC cuts up to 90% of outside noise, and even the passive isolation makes a strong impression. The hands-on, tactile approach to controls seems deliberate—and welcome for anyone who prefers precise, no-fuss operation.
There’s also a slider on the left earcup that by default adjusts bass, but it can be reassigned to control treble. This kind of flexible tuning broadens the appeal for discerning listeners. At under 100 euros, many characterize the Headphone Pro as performing above its price bracket—an impression reinforced by how considered the feature set feels at this level.
