CMF, Nothing's design-led sub-brand, has officially confirmed that the CMF Headphone Pro and CMF Watch 3 Pro are finally making their way to India. While these devices were first seen on the global stage last year, Indian fans have been playing the waiting game for months. That wait is almost over – CMF has teased that specific launch dates, local pricing, and availability are just around the corner.
This move is a clear signal that CMF wants to be more than just a budget accessory brand in India. They are pushing into the “lifestyle tech” space, positioning themselves as a stylish, value-driven alternative to the big players while keeping Nothing's signature focus on clean software and unique design.
CMF Headphone Pro: Over-ears with massive battery life
The CMF Headphone Pro, which debuted globally in September 2025, is the brand's first attempt at over-ear headphones. These are built for people who want long listening sessions and modern features without the typical “premium” price tag. They pack custom-tuned 40mm drivers and, surprisingly for this segment, support LDAC and Hi-Res Audio. You also get adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) that blocks out up to 40dB of noise – perfect for a noisy commute or office.
The real headline, though, is the battery. CMF claims you can get up to 100 hours of playback with ANC off, or about 50 hours with it on. That's significantly better than most mid-range rivals. The design also features tactile controls like a “Roller” and “Slider” for volume and bass, and you can even charge them directly from your phone via USB-C.
While we are still waiting on official Indian pricing, the global $99 price tag suggests they'll land somewhere in the ₹8,000–₹9,000 range, putting them in direct competition with heavy hitters from Sony and JBL.
CMF Watch 3 Pro: Substance over gimmicks
The CMF Watch 3 Pro first appeared in July last year and is CMF's most capable wearable yet. It ditches the “swappable bezel” gimmick of previous models for a much more refined, professional look. Under the hood, it gets some serious upgrades: a new 4-channel heart rate sensor, more accurate sleep tracking, and dual-band GPS for much better accuracy when you’re out for a run.
CMF is also leaning into the AI trend, adding features like real-time coaching, recovery tips, and personalized running guides. It's a smart move – instead of just competing on specs, they are trying to offer a smarter software experience that actually helps you get fit.
For buyers, the Watch 3 Pro is shaping up to be a solid choice for anyone who wants “flagship-level” fitness tracking and GPS without the flagship bill. If CMF hits the right price point in India, it could be a massive hit for first-time smartwatch buyers and casual athletes alike.
