Design and customisation
The Headphone Pro supports swappable ear cushions that alter both appearance and sound profile. Cushions are offered in Light Green and Orange. The headphones use a dual‑chamber acoustic design and a precision bass duct intended to reduce distortion and improve clarity.
What sets it apart
CMF highlights the combination of long battery life, LDAC support and a hybrid ANC system that the company says delivers up to 40 dB of reduction. Physical controls including a roller dial and an Energy Slider aim to give users fast, tactile control over sound and noise‑cancelling settings.
Availability and price
The CMF Headphone Pro is already on sale in the UK and European Union. Pricing varies by region: $99 (Rs. 9,000 approx) in the US, €99 in Europe and £79 in the UK. Nothing has not announced an India launch date, though the company is preparing to shift CMF’s global marketing operations to India.
Outlook for India
Nothing has not provided a launch timeline for India. The company’s move to base CMF’s global marketing operations in India suggests an India release is likely, but an official date and local pricing remain unconfirmed.
