CMF Buds 2a, Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus launched in India starting at Rs.2,199 with ANC, Bluetooth v5.4
CMF has officially launched its latest true wireless earbuds, the CMF Buds 2a, Buds 2, and Buds 2 Plus in India, expanding its Buds 2 series lineup as promised. The Buds 2a serves as the entry-level option, featuring a lightweight design, up to 42dB active noise cancellation (ANC), and a 12.4mm bio-fibre driver designed to deliver deep bass for extended listening comfort.
Positioned as the mid-tier model, the Buds 2 offers Dirac Opteo tuning, up to 48dB hybrid ANC, and a Spatial Audio Effect for enhanced clarity and a more immersive sound experience.
The Buds 2 Plus stands at the top end of the series, boasting Hi-Res LDAC support, up to 50dB hybrid ANC, hearing compensation, and full EQ customization, aiming to deliver a rich and balanced audio profile.
In terms of call quality, the Buds 2a comes with four HD microphones and Clear Voice Technology, while the Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus are equipped with six HD mics, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind-Noise Reduction 3.0 for clearer conversations even in challenging environments.
All three models support Bluetooth v5.4, touch and tap controls, equalizer settings, dual device connection, and integration with ChatGPT via the Nothing X app. Unlike the Buds 2 Pro, however, these new models do not feature a Smart Dial on the charging case.
