DISCLAIMER

The noise cancellation limit of up to 50dB is the theoretical maximum limit. This data comes from the Nothing laboratory. Since the actual noise cancellation achieved may vary depending on the specific environment, please refer to the performance of the actual product.

Place the earbuds into the charging case and close the case lid for charging. With the earbuds and charging case fully charged, Active Noise Cancellation turned off, at 50% volume, and with AAC format and the rest of the features at default settings, you can get 35.5 hours of audio playback. Test results are based on the Nothing laboratory results (25°C or 77°F).

Fast Charge your CMF Buds using a standard adapter or Type-C USB charging cable. Requires a 5V⎓1A adapter or higher. Actual battery life is affected by volume, frequency and duration of incoming calls, output source, environmental interference, product features used, usage habits, and other factors. Actual experience will depend on individual use.

Fast Charge: Once the earbuds and charging case are out of power, fast-charge for 10 minutes with Active Noise Cancellation turned off, 50% volume, and AAC format with the rest of the features at default settings. After a 10-minute charge with the case, the earbuds deliver up to 6.5 hours of music playback; without the case, it’s up to 2.2 hours. Charging and battery test results are based on the Nothing laboratory results (25°C or 77°F). Charging and battery life test data was measured using Nothing Power (45W) at an ambient temperature (25°C or 77°F) in the Nothing laboratory.

When the charging case is connected to a Type-C cable, CMF Buds will fully charge from 0-100% in 120 minutes. With the case unplugged, the earbuds will charge inside the charging case in 70 minutes.

Two HD mics per bud. Clear Voice Technology is only applicable when the microphone is being used to record voice, e.g., taking a call or recording a voice message, and reduces ambient noise for the microphone.

CMF Buds’ earbuds have been tested under controlled laboratory conditions to IP54 rating by IEC 60529 (international) standards, but the charging case is not supported. Splash, water, and dust resistance may decrease over time as a result of normal wear. It is recommended to avoid using the earbuds during extreme sports to prevent damage from sweat penetration. Do not charge a wet device or charge the device in moist environments. Do not submerge the device completely underwater or expose it to any liquid other than fresh water, such as seawater, chlorinated water, or drinks. If the device has been immersed in water or the speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly.
