CMF Buds Pro 2
Nothing Ear (3)
The CMF Buds Pro 2 are a more budget-oriented ANC model than the higher-end Nothing Ear (3). Although the CMF punch above their price point, thanks to the impressive ANC that goes toe-to-toe with the Nothing, they're less comfortable with a larger bud and slightly cheaper feel. Nevertheless, their touch controls are more conventional, and they're tuned very similarly to the Nothing, only with a warmer treble. They even last a little longer, 6.5 hours, instead of the Nothing's 5.3 hours. On the other hand, the Nothing are more premium-built and comfortable with a better microphone. They're also more tightly stereo-matched, so your choice depends on your budget and priorities.
