Nothing's sub-brand CMF makes affordable tech products with a twist, and it recently released its first pair of over-ear headphones, the CMF Headphone Pro. It follows the Nothing Headphone 1 launch earlier this year, but with a subdued design and a much lower price tag. The CMF Headphone Pro retails for just $99, and its latest sale knocks down the price to just $84.
I tend to consider the sweet spot in over-ear headphone pricing to be around $300, which is what Nothing's mainline headphones cost. I lowered my expectations for Headphone Pro accordingly, but as I started testing them, I quickly realized they come with far fewer compromises than their competitors. They also align perfectly with Nothing's ethos, thanks to a thoughtful design and tactile controls, physical ports, and modularity.
