CMF just launched the CMF Buds 2a, Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus TWS earbuds in the CMF Buds 2 series in India, as it had promised.
The Buds 2a is the entry-level option with a lightweight design up to 42 dB ANC, a 12.4 mm bio-fibre driver and deep bass for all-day listening.
The Buds 2 is a mid-range model with Dirac Opteo tuning, up to 48dB hybrid ANC and Spatial Audio Effect for a clearer, more dynamic sound.
The Buds 2 Plus is a mid-high model equipped with Hi-Res LDAC, up to 50dB hybrid ANC, hearing compensation, and full EQ customization for a rich, balanced sound.
The Buds 2a has 4 HD mics with Clear Voice Technology, the Buds 2 and the Buds 2 Plus feature 6 HD mics with Clear Voice Technology 3.0 and Wind-Noise Reduction 3.0 for enhanced call clarity.
Additional features include Bluetooth v5.4, touch and tap controls, Equalizers, Dual Connection, and integration with ChatGPT, accessible through the Nothing X app. Unlike the Buds 2 Pro, these don’t have a Smart Dial for controls in the case.
