Nothing CMF is launching its first open earbuds
↗
Nothing’s CMF sub-brand has launched the $99 CMF Clip Pro, its first open-ear earbuds featuring a case-mounted control dial.
The open-ear form factor lets users keep environmental awareness while listening, which changes how audio products are positioned for safety-critical or outdoor use. The integrated dial on the charging case provides volume and playback control without unlocking a phone, requiring firmware and UI support on paired devices. Support for Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint pairing, and a low-latency mode adds new compatibility and performance considerations for developers.

CMF Clip Pro offers open-ear listening with a 10-hour battery life per charge and a total of about 33 hours using the case.
The case includes a physical dial that can adjust volume, manage playback, answer calls, and initiate pairing without phone interaction.
The earbuds support LDAC, AAC, SBC codecs, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint connections, and a low-latency gaming mode accessible via the Nothing X app.
