Incredible Noise Cancelling Buds For £30?? | Nothing CMF Buds Review

Reviewing the Nothing CMF Buds, the best budget true wireless earbuds that I've tested in 2024, boasting ANC and customisable controls. For just over £30 here in the UK, the Nothing CMF Buds offer stunning value for money. Here's my unboxing and full verdict and check out my other TWS earbud reviews here on Tech Spurt!
For this price, the CMF Buds by Nothing really do pack in an awful lot. The noise cancelling is surprisingly good at this budget cost, muffling traffic and other otherwise intrusive noise. So you can enjoy your music, podcasts etc without boosting the volume to ear-splitting levels.
The dependable touch controls and app support also make the Nothing CMF Buds one of the best budget true wireless options in 2024. Battery life is simply fine, while the case can recharge the earbuds quickly. However, the plastic design and limited audio codec support will put some off - despite them being almost unavoidable at this price.
So that's what I think of the Nothing CMF Buds after testing them as my full-time Bluetooth TWS for a week. Let us know your own thoughts below!

I bought them for my mom and she LOVES THESE. Amazing ANC and really solid construction - they play so well that even i got a little jealous

[@DJ279V]

Thanks for taking time to review these earbuds. I returned my Moondrop Space Travel to go with the CMF as 1) app included custom EQ option, 2) volume control within the app, 3) MUCH louder and deeper bass (use Ultra Bass at level 1 or 2) and 4) proximity sensor to stop music when removed from my ears. Changed to Spinfit 1025 eargels and definitely got a better fit for me vs included M gels. Thx agin for sharing!!

Hmm looks interesting. I'm not sure whether to go for the more expensive Nothing earbuds or the CMF... I have €130 Sony's and they have a cheap plastic case as well, not to mention very annoying connection problems (just one earbud will connect sometimes and the temporary solution is factory resetting them...

[@Rjl41]

I own the ear 3 since last year, very good quality but you have to get them recharged after 4 hours!

Expensive 😂😂

[@lizvickers7156]

​@parshakamarsh That's what I thought . 30 quid not expensive at all. If they work well, then that's value for money.

[@MythicSuns]

Mate, these aren't just regular bluetooth earbuds; they're active noise cancelling bluetooth earbuds, as in they actively cancel out background noise so you don't need to turn them up ridiculously loud to hear whatever you're listening to. To buy earbuds with the best version of that tech (such as Apple's AirPod Pros, Bose's Quietcomfort Earbuds, or even Sony's WF-1000XM5s) you usually wind up spending somewhere between £200 and £250, so the idea of earbuds managing to accomplish the same task at a price of £30 is pretty impressive (assuming they can).

[@blacklistedXXX]

So the first CMF is already outdated because they released another version a couple of months after. 😅
