CMF’s First Over-Ear Headphones Add Slider For Bass & Treble

CMF’s first over-ear headphones have a slider for boosting bass and treble, making them stand out in a crowded budget headphone market. Called the CMF Headphone Pro, this new release blends customizable design, tactile controls, and audio personalization — all for just $99.

The CMF Headphone Pro is launching in the EU and UK starting today, with U.S. customers getting access on October 7th, 2025. At nearly a third of the price of Nothing’s $299 Headphone 1, these headphones aim to deliver premium features at a fraction of the cost.

A Sleek And Comfortable Design

Unlike Nothing’s first over-ears, which leaned on a sharp, boxy look, the CMF Headphone Pro takes a softer approach. Rounded earcups, plush cushions, and a padded headband make them feel more approachable and comfortable for long listening sessions.

Available in dark gray, light green, and light gray, the design gets an extra twist of personality with swappable $25 ear cushions. Buyers can add bold color contrasts like bright orange or light green, giving the headphones a more personalized edge.

Tactile Controls With A Twist

Forget fussy touch panels — CMF’s first over-ear headphones keep things simple and tactile. You get a dedicated power/Bluetooth button on one side and a customizable action button on the other, all managed through the Nothing X app.

There’s also a multi-function roller for volume adjustment, playback control, and ambient sound tuning. But the real star is the Energy Slider, a unique control that lets you instantly boost or lower bass and treble without opening the app. This makes real-time sound personalization easy, especially for users who want quick changes while on the go.

Affordable, But Feature-Rich

At $99, the CMF Headphone Pro offers a surprisingly robust feature set. By combining a stylish look, customizable cushions, and the new bass-and-treble slider, CMF is targeting budget-conscious users who still want flexibility and premium touches in their audio gear.

With its October U.S. release, the CMF Headphone Pro could become one of the most compelling affordable headphone options of 2025.
