Headphones Promise 100 Hours Battery Life, Still Can’t Fix Your Music Taste

KEY POINTS

•CMF, Nothing's budget subsidiary, dropped its first over-ear wireless headphones at $69 on Amazon in April 2026.
•The Headphone Pro features physical buttons, an Energy Slider for treble/bass adjustment, and up to 100 hours battery life.
•They compete with Beats Solo 4 and Sony WH-CH520, offering longer battery life at a substantially lower price.

Nothing’s budget-wise sidekick, CMF, decided that $99 was too steep and slashed the price to $69 on Amazon for their over-ear debut, the CMF Headphone Pro, available in light gray or a stealthy green that screams 'I’m stylish but I shop on Amazon.' Unlike Nothing’s retro see-through vibe, these go for soft curves and comfy ear cushions, with an extra splash of color for $25—because nothing says earbuds like customizable orange and green pillows. The Pro ditched touch controls for physical buttons, presumably for folks who still like pressing things, and threw in an 'Energy Slider' to tweak treble and bass on-the-fly without opening an app, because who has time for apps? But the real flex? A colossal 100 hours of battery life—double that of premium rivals Sony and Bose—which means you could literally forget to charge them for four days, or just pretend to be off the grid. Other budget options include Beats Solo 4 at $129.95 with Find My tech, and Sony WH-CH520 at $38, because sometimes saving money beats saving your sanity.
