Are there any meaningful differences between CMF nothing is three new budget wireless headsets?

Along with the mighty of him-IT-IT-DRESS Budget phone 2 ProNothing is like that Cmf sub-brand It also announced today a trio of affordable wireless headsets, all with active noise cancellation, starting with dirt $ 49.

There is CMF buds 2A for $ 49 at the base, Cmf buds 2 in the middle of $ 59and Cmf buds 2 plus for $ 69 At the upper end. I personally think, Chatgpt Let me tell you the differences between them. But hey, I’m here now and spent a few hours listening to music with Buds 2 Plus, which is something that AI can’t do. Take this, chatbots!

Paging through the CMF press materials is clear to me that the company hopes Geek’s jargon as driver size, decibels, active noise cancellation frequencies and the use of specific types of magnets will turn to the fact that these are budget audio products. I’m not saying that these budget wireless headsets are not good but As They sound everything that matters and is practically impossible to know this from a specifications table.

Here’s how the three new buds differ. First, the battery life with active noise cancellation is switched off: the buds 2A last up to 8 hours (up to 35 hours with the case), the buds 2 to 13.5 hours (up to 55 hours with the case) and the buds 2 plus up to 14 hours (up to 61.5 hours with the case). It is strange that CMF has not shared the life of the bud battery when ANC is included – important information you would like to know about ancless Wireless Earbuds. Gizmodo has turned to CMF for the ANC battery assessments and will update this article if we hear back.

The second difference is the quality of the calls. The Buds 2A have four HD MIC and an older voice processing technology that can make the quality of a call less than Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus, which have six HD microphones and use a more sophisticated voice algorithm. And when it comes to the quality of voice calls, Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus need to comply with the characteristics of paper-more effective wind rustling relative to the entrance level 2A.

Lastly, of course, the quality of the sound, which includes spatial audio support and active noise cancellation quality. The cheapest buds 2A will not allow you to hear 3D music, but the buds 2 and the buds 2 plus will. As for the quality of ANC, it is, as you would expect, ranging from good (pimples 2A), better (pimples 2), best (pimples 2 plus). Whether you notice any difference in the cancellation of the noise between the three as you walk down a busy street or sit on a noisy subway, it is ready for debate.

As Telephone 2 ProI only had a few hours over the weekend to listen to $ 69 Buds 2 Plus. I also don’t have Buds 2 and Buds 2A to compare, so I can only talk about the best budget model. Immediately after the bat, there is no mistake that the buds 2 plus are budget headphones. Everything from the plastic case to the ears (I got blue for testing) screaming the entrance level. CMF generally did not take transparent wireless earbuds of $ 149 and undress them as much as possible. Even a personalized “smart dial” to control the volume and other settings of last year Buds Pro 2 is replaced with a mostly non -functional dial. It still rotates (great as a toy with a gadget) and has a belt if you want to attach a keychain or strap to it, but it is too bad that it does not control anything in volume.

The buds have sensitive to the touch controls located at the top of their stems, which you can touch or press and hold to activate different settings, such as pulling the Chatgpt voice chat, controlling the playback of audio or adjusting noise. All this is done through the application of nothing X, which I found is one of the easier to use audio customization applications there.

Fitting them is also convenient for me at least. I found the light buds to stay in my little ears for up to four hours of continuous listening time with an anc on. I will only have to spend a little more time with them to see how long they can last with ANC, but it looks like maybe at least six hours.

For wireless headsets for $ 69, the buds 2 plus sound decent. Linkin Park’s new single, Snushater, who has bass screaming vocals by lead singer Emily Armstrong, is mostly made without distorting different volume levels. The pop tunes of the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift sound good, but it’s not a tall bar to clean up for any pair of wireless headphones.

Where there is a clear bay in quality, the noise is active. On Buds 2 Plus, Anc is nowhere so good at blocking loud noise compared to the more priced buds that cost north of $ 100, but they work in a pinch. For example, I can hear how I touch the keyboard of my laptop and my Gizmodo counterparts are moving to their seats, and the ANC is reversed with the volume just over 50%. On my subway it travels this morning, Buds 2 Plus did very little to suppress the metal wheels of the train by squeaking the rails. My regular wireless headphones-Nothing is an ear of $ 150 (2) and on Apple $ 250 AirPods Pro 2– Easy drowning of this type of noise. Then again these buds cost 2-3x more, so they better have a superb anc.

In general, you get what you pay with a budget audio. Buds 2 Plus sounds good enough, but what I really want to know is how better they sound compared to $ 59 per CMF $ 2 and $ 49 Buds 2A. How good is it good enough when we only talk in contrast to $ 10 or $ 20?
