CMF Buds 2 Plus Launched: CMF Buds 2 Plus
CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing, has steadily grown its ecosystem in 2025, introducing a range of budget-friendly yet feature-rich products. After unveiling the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the company is now back in the audio segment with the launch of CMF Buds 2 Plus—a stylish, affordable, and well-rounded pair of true wireless earbuds (TWS).
These earbuds are priced at ₹3,299, and while they stay true to the brand’s affordability pitch, they do not compromise on core features. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest CMF TWS earbuds.

Design: Compact Yet Quirky
The CMF Buds 2 Plus impress with a compact charging case that weighs just around 51 grams, making it highly portable. Available in funky colours like blue and light grey, the matte finish gives it a distinct look, although the grey version tends to attract dust.
The signature rotating dial from previous CMF models is still there, but unlike earlier versions, this dial serves no functional purpose on the 2 Plus variant—it’s purely for design continuity.
The USB Type-C charging port is placed on the side of the case, and there’s a tiny LED indicator to show battery status. The earbuds themselves are glossy, which adds flair but also makes them slightly slippery. That said, the stem-style design offers a secure fit for most users, and wearing them for extended periods doesn’t cause fatigue.
Features: Budget-Friendly but Packed
Despite the price tag, CMF has ensured the Buds 2 Plus come with a healthy set of features:
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) with different intensity modes
- LDAC codec support for high-res wireless audio
- In-ear detection, a rarity in this price bracket
- Customisable touch controls via the Nothing X app
By default, you can:
- Long-press to toggle ANC
- Double-tap to skip to the next track
- Triple-tap to go back to the previous track
Though the rotary dial is non-functional, the feature set holds strong, and the companion app helps unlock the true potential of these buds with granular control over sound settings.
Audio Performance: Balanced and Immersive
The real question is—how do they sound?
Surprisingly well.
The audio output is balanced with strong bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Users who enjoy punchy bass can tweak the EQ levels via the Nothing X app. What stands out is the wide soundstage, making the Buds 2 Plus suitable for multiple genres, whether it’s pop, rock, classical, or EDM.
The ANC does a good job of blocking most background noise, though some ambient sounds can seep in during pauses. For earbuds in this price category, the ANC is among the better implementations.
You also get ambient and transparency modes, although—as with most budget TWS earbuds—they aren’t the most effective. Most users may still prefer to remove the earbuds instead of using these modes in extremely noisy environments.
A pleasant surprise is the inclusion of spatial audio, which creates an immersive listening experience by simulating surround sound. It’s not a feature you expect at this price, and CMF deserves credit for offering it.
Battery Life and Connectivity
CMF has packed a 5-6 hour battery life per earbud with ANC turned on, and you can get up to 30 hours with the charging case. This makes them a reliable companion for daily commutes, workouts, or long video calls.
Connectivity is stable, and Bluetooth 5.3 ensures a quick pairing experience with low latency, which gamers and video streamers will appreciate.
Verdict: Best TWS Under ₹3,500?
The CMF Buds 2 Plus bring a lot to the table for the asking price:
- Stylish design with trendy colours
- Excellent sound quality with spatial audio
- Functional ANC
- Lightweight and pocketable case
- Reliable battery life
While it lacks functional dial control and has slightly slippery earbuds due to the glossy finish, these are minor issues in what is otherwise a solid TWS offering.
For under ₹3,500, the CMF Buds 2 Plus are a strong contender in the budget TWS space, offering features often reserved for higher price tiers. Whether you’re a casual listener or someone who wants quality audio without Lightweight and pocketable case, this pair is worth checking out.
