Open-ear earbuds continue to rise in popularity, and Nothing's affordable CMF sub-brand is the latest to join the movement. The company has released the CMF Clip Pro, its first open-ear model built for comfort and clear audio while preserving awareness of the surrounding environment.

Priced at $99, the CMF Clip Pro is now on sale in the US and offered in three finishes: white, black, and orange, also labeled light gray, dark gray, and coral. The cost matches Nothing's Ear 3A and original Ear (a) models, so buyers gain an unusual design without an added fee. A matching charging case features a built-in Smart Dial for volume control, playback management, call handling, and device pairing without unlocking a phone.

Each earbud weighs 5.9 grams and flexes to suit different ear shapes for lasting comfort during extended sessions. Battery performance reaches up to 10 hours of playback on the buds alone and nearly 33 hours total with the case. An IP54 rating provides dust and splash resistance, making the buds suitable for light rain though users should avoid full submersion.

A 10.8 mm driver powers the audio, with support for LDAC, AAC, and SBC codecs to enhance wireless quality. Nothing added Ultra Bass Technology to balance frequencies and reduce distortion, offsetting the bass reduction typical of open-ear designs. Four microphones help isolate voice from background noise during calls for clearer conversations.

Bluetooth 5.4 enables multipoint pairing for seamless switching between two devices, along with Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. A Low Latency Mode supports gaming, and further adjustments are available via the Nothing X app.

Update, August 4th: Nothing's original press materials incorrectly said that each earbud weighs 6.5 grams. We have now updated to the correct weight.
