The CMF Buds 2 Plus offers a secure and comfortable fit, clear audio, effective noise cancellation, and a long battery life. Plus, they’re only $55 for the holiday shopping season.
The CMF Buds 2 Plus are the most premium pair of earbuds from the Nothing sub-brand.
Normally at $79, they’re one of the best-sounding and most feature-rich earbuds in the price segment.
The way these earbuds are designed makes them not ideal for side sleepers.
For a limited time, the CMF Buds 2 Plus is available for $55 during Amazon Prime Day, which is a 30% discount.
The Nothing CMF Buds 2 Plus sit above the CMF Buds Pro 2 in price hierarchy and offer similar sound, better call quality, and longer battery life. They fit well, and there’s not much to fault at that $79 price point, and even less to complain about when they’re often discounted to $55. Soon after launch, I shifted to the CMF Buds 2 Plus as my daily driver for music and calls.
Apart from one minor annoyance, there’s a lot to like. These might be my new go-to recommendation for budget earbuds.CMF Buds 2 Plus

The CMF Buds 2 Plus feature a similar square-ish case to the Bud Pro 2. While the dial is still present, it isn’t functional and is only present as a signature CMF design element. The absence of the Smart Dial feature doesn’t bother me since I seldom used it on the Pro model.
The overall case build has a textured but slightly slippery finish. I’ve dropped it a couple of times because it keeps slipping out of my hands, but I haven’t noticed any wear and tear due to my accidental drops.
