Nothing Announces the CMF Clip Pro Open-ear Earbuds
Designed to deliver a listening experience that feels as natural as it sounds. Built for people who move through busy cities, long workdays and active lifestyles, Clip Pro combines an ergonomic open-ear design with immersive sound, intelligent calling features and thoughtful everyday functionality, all wrapped in CMF's distinctive design language.
Designed to disappear
Every aspect of Clip Pro has been engineered around long-term comfort. The new 3-point Clip Design uses a carefully balanced three-point support system that distributes pressure naturally across the ear instead of concentrating it in a single area. The result is a secure fit that remains comfortable through work, commuting, exercise and everything in between.
Built with an elastic titanium wire core, the slim C-bridge effortlessly flexes to fit any ear shape, while skin-friendly materials provide a soft, comfortable touch even after hours of continuous wear. The compact listening ball has also been optimised to sit naturally against the ear, reducing contact while directing sound more efficiently towards the ear canal. Weighing just 5.9 grams per earbud, these earbuds deliver a barely-there wearing experience.
Open-ear listening without compromise
Open-ear audio is becoming increasingly popular for users who want to enjoy music, podcasts and calls while remaining aware of the world around them. But achieving both comfort and sound quality has remained one of the category's biggest challenges. With Clip Pro, CMF set out to solve exactly that, creating earbuds that feel light enough to wear all day while delivering the rich, balanced sound and dependable performance users expect from premium wireless audio.
At the core of Clip Pro is a 10.8 mm dual-magnet dynamic driver, custom-tuned to produce full-bodied audio with powerful bass, detailed vocals and crisp high frequencies. To compensate for the natural bass loss associated with open-ear products, CMF developed the Ultra Bass Technology, which intelligently enhances low frequencies while simultaneously reducing treble distortion, creating a more balanced and immersive listening experience.
Clip Pro is also Hi-Res Audio Certified and supports LDAC, AAC and SBC codecs, enabling higher-quality wireless streaming for compatible devices. Whether listening to music, watching videos or catching up on podcasts, users can enjoy detailed, high-fidelity sound while staying connected to their surroundings.
Smarter conversations
Clear communication is just as important as great audio. Clip Pro combines a flagship VPU-powered Clear Voice Technology and a 4 HD mics system to separate the user's voice from surrounding noise in real time, helping conversations remain clear in crowded streets, busy cafés, offices or windy outdoor environments.
For users who value privacy, the Sound seal system reduces sound leakage by intelligently managing mid and high frequencies, making conversations and music less audible to people nearby. The feature can be customized through the Nothing X app with dedicated settings for calls or both calls and audio playback.
Thoughtful design inside and out
Clip Pro continues CMF's focus on functional design with the introduction of the signature Smart Dial, integrated directly into the charging case. The tactile rotating control allows users to adjust volume, manage playback, answer calls and pair devices without needing to unlock their phone, making everyday interactions faster and more intuitive.
Each earbud also features responsive physical controls, ensuring reliable operation even while exercising or wearing gloves. Finished in Dark Grey, Light grey, and Coral, Clip Pro brings CMF's playful industrial design language to the growing open-ear category while remaining instantly recognisable.
Built for everyday life
Designed to keep pace with busy routines, Clip Pro delivers up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge and up to 32.5 hours of total playback with the charging case. When time is short, a quick 10-minute fast charge provides up to 4 hours of listening.
Additional features include Bluetooth 5.4, Dual Device Connection for seamless switching, Low Latency Mode for gaming, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, IP54-rated earbuds, and deep customization through the Nothing X app—where users can tweak controls, adjust the Sound Seal system, update firmware, or locate misplaced earbuds.

CMF Clip Pro will be available in the UK, US and Japan on 15 August in Dark Grey, Light Grey and Coral for £79 / $99 at nothing.tech and select partners. For Europe and ROW, it will be available on 15 September.

Ah yes, just like any AI person uses their headphones.
Not as good as AirPods 3 but I got them for 1/3rd the price.
Edit: also, transparency mode still works with only one bud on mine.
