Nothing has officially introduced the CMF Clip Pro, marking its entry into the open-ear earbud market. Designed for urban commuters and active users, these earbuds focus on long-term comfort and ambient awareness.12345

The 3-point Clip Design distributes pressure across the ear, enhancing comfort during extended use. Weighing just 5.9 grams per earbud, they feature a 10.8 mm dual-magnet dynamic driver for balanced audio.

To address the common issue of weak bass in open-ear designs, the Clip Pro incorporates Ultra Bass Technology, which boosts low frequencies while minimizing treble distortion. They are also Hi-Res Audio Certified and support LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs for high-quality streaming.

The earbuds include a microphone array with 4 HD microphones and a VPU-powered Clear Voice Technology system to isolate the user’s voice from background noise. Additionally, the Sound Seal System manages audio leakage, allowing users to toggle settings via the Nothing X app.6

The CMF Clip Pro offers up to 10 hours of playback and a total of 32.5 hours with the charging case, which features a Smart Dial for easy control. Available in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Coral, the earbuds will launch on August 15 in the UK, US, and Japan for £79/$99.7
