Budget Earbuds Clip Perfectly Between 'Comfort' and 'Sound Sucks'
KEY POINTS
- •Nothing's budget spinoff CMF launched the Clip Pro, their first clip-style earbuds at under $100.
- •Clip-style earbuds promise comfort by avoiding insertion into ears but suffer from sound quality compromises.
- •The Verge rated the Clip Pro a 7 out of 10, acknowledging decent compromises for the price.
The CMF Clip Pro earbuds, proudly flaunting a coral shade that screams 'fashion victim or bold choice,' are Nothing's budget brand’s first foray into clip-style earpieces. While traditional earbuds shove themselves inside your ears like intrusive relatives, these clips rest comfortably on your ear, inviting all ambient noises including your neighbor’s dinner debate. Priced under $100, a steal compared to Bose and Sony's $200 clip-earbud debauchery, the Clip Pro walks the tightrope of compromising sound quality for comfort. Reviewers at The Verge gave them a middling 7 out of 10, probably because they're still figuring if 'leaking sound to everyone' counts as a feature or a bug.
