CMF by Nothing Clip Pro Ships August 15: $99 Open-Ear Earbuds with Smart Dial and 32.5-Hour Battery

CMF by Nothing{"'"}s first open-wearable stereo (OWS) earbuds ship August 15. The Clip Pro sits outside the ear canal rather than sealing it — ideal for runners, cyclists, and anyone who needs ambient awareness.

Key Specs

• Drivers: 10.8mm with Ultra Bass Technology to compensate for open-ear bass loss
• Battery: 10 hours per earbud, 32.5 hours total with charging case
• Controls: CMF{"'"}s Smart Dial — a physical dial on the case for volume, playback, and call control
• Colors: Coral, Light Grey, Dark Grey
• Price: $99.99 (pre-order discount of $79.99 still available on Amazon)

How It Compares

At $99, the Clip Pro undercuts the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds at $299 and the Shokz OpenFit 2 at $179. The tradeoff is no ANC (expected for open-ear) and an unproven brand in this form factor. The Smart Dial is the unique selling point — no competitor offers physical controls this intuitive at this price.

Should You Buy?

If you want open-ear earbuds for workouts and don{"'"}t want to spend $179+ on Shokz or $299 on Bose, the Clip Pro is the most affordable option from a reputable brand. Wait for full reviews before committing — the $79.99 pre-order price is attractive but ships in 2 days.
