CMF Clip Pro review: open-ear comfort at a budget-friendly price

CMF Clip Pro are Nothing’s budget clip-style earbuds that sit outside the ear canal, delivering standout comfort for wearers who don’t like in-ear buds. Priced at $99 (often on sale for $79) and offering open-ear sound with a bass boost by default, plus a three‑band EQ in the Nothing X app and LDAC high‑res support, they balance comfort and price at the expense of critical listening accuracy. The open design reduces isolation and can leak audio at high volumes, and the case’s dial controls can feel gimmicky or finicky, but call quality is solid and the case dial adds convenient control.
