CMF Clip Pro Review: Nothing's Sub-Brand Delivers Comfortable Clip-On Earbuds

CMF, Nothing's more affordable offshoot, has released the Clip Pro, a new pair of clip-style earbuds that offer a comfortable and ergonomic alternative to traditional in-ear buds. Unlike standard earbuds, the Clip Pro clips onto the ear lobe, leaving the ear canal unblocked, which allows users to remain aware of their surroundings. The earbuds feature a 10.8mm dynamic driver housed in a 13.8mm 'listening ball' that projects sound into the ear, and they come with a bass boost algorithm and two sound leakage reduction modes for music and voice. The Clip Pro is available in Coral, Light Grey, and Dark Grey, with a matching charging case that includes a tactile Smart Dial for controlling music and volume. The earbuds offer 10 hours of playback on their own, with an additional 22.5 hours from the charging case, and a long battery mode extends total battery life to 36 hours. A ten-minute charge provides four hours of extra listening. The review notes that the Clip Pro is comfortable for long listening sessions, with the 'OpenFit Arc' system designed to fit various ear shapes. The product is priced at £79 and is available via Nothing.tech. The review was written by Jonathan Bell, Transport and Technology Editor at Wallpaper* magazine, who has been with the publication since 1999.
