CMF is finally done teasing its first pair of over-ear headphones. The company—which is, for now, a subbrand of Nothing —is launching the $99 Headphone Pro , an affordable pair of active noise cancellation headphones (ANC) with lots of buttons and a really sturdy battery life.
Like I suspected , the 100-hour battery that CMF already teased doesn’t apply to playback with ANC like I had hoped, but if you’re listening sans ANC, the company says they’re rated for that length of listening. If you are listening with ANC on, though (like most people), you’ll get 50 hours, which is still pretty good to be fair. For reference, Nothing’s Headphone 1 , which also came out this year, get 35 hours with ANC on and 80 hours with ANC off. That’s a big difference, especially in the ANC department
