CMF has launched the CMF Buds Neo in India, expanding its audio portfolio with what the company describes as its most accessible entry point to the CMF ecosystem. The new wireless earbuds come with up to 35dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a 12.4mm dynamic driver, Bluetooth 6.0 and up to 52 hours of total playback.
CMF Buds Neo Specifications And Features
The CMF Buds Neo feature a distinctive square charging case with a tactile circular dial and built-in lanyard hole. The earbuds are available in Black, White and Dark Blue colour options.
The earbuds feature a 12.4mm dynamic driver with a titanium-coated PET dome and PEEK + PU surround. CMF has also included static spatial audio, six EQ presets and a Custom EQ option through the Nothing X app.
For bass-focused listening, users get three levels of Bass Enhancement, allowing them to adjust the low-end output based on their preference.
The Buds Neo support up to 35dB Active Noise Cancellation, with three ANC levels and Adaptive ANC. The earbuds also feature four HD microphones with Clear Voice Technology, designed to improve voice clarity during calls.
Battery life is another key highlight of the CMF Buds Neo. Each earbud can deliver up to 11 hours of music playback with ANC turned off, while total playback with the charging case reaches up to 52 hours.
With ANC enabled, total playback drops to up to 30 hours. A quick 10-minute charge can provide up to 5.5 hours of playback, while the earbuds feature 45mAh batteries and the charging case packs a 460mAh battery.
Charging takes place through USB Type-C. The CMF Buds Neo support Bluetooth 6.0 and dual-device connectivity, allowing users to stay connected to two devices. They also support Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for easier pairing.
For gaming, the earbuds feature a 120ms Low Latency Mode. Touch controls can also be customised through the Nothing X app.
The earbuds carry an IP54 rating, while the charging case is rated IPX2 for protection against water exposure.
The Nothing X app provides access to personalised controls, EQ settings, Bass Enhancement, ANC and Transparency controls, as well as gaming mode. The app is compatible with Android 6.0 and above and iOS 13 and above, giving users access to the Buds Neo's customisation features across supported smartphones.
CMF Buds Neo Price in India and Availability
The CMF Buds Neo are priced at an exclusive launch price of Rs 1,999 in India. They are available from August 26, 2026, in Black, White and Dark Blue colour options.
The earbuds can be purchased through Flipkart, as well as leading retail partners including Croma, Reliance Digital and Vijay Sales.
At Rs 1,999, the CMF Buds Neo bring several features that are usually associated with more expensive wireless earbuds, including 35dB ANC, Adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity and a 52-hour rated total battery life.
The 12.4mm driver and multiple EQ options also give users plenty of control over the sound profile, while the Nothing X app adds further customisation. The biggest question will be how effectively the ANC and audio tuning perform in real-world use, but on paper, the Buds Neo look like a strong entry-level addition to the CMF lineup.
