CMF by Nothing announced its first OWS (open-wearable stereo) earbuds, set to launch on August 4.

Overview

  • CMF confirmed the Clip Pro as its first OWS (open-wearable stereo) product and scheduled an official reveal in early August.
  • The company has teased design cues including a textured outer housing, a bulb-like clip shape, a visible speaker grille, and a possible volume wheel called a Smart Dial.
  • CMF has positioned the Clip Pro as part of its budget-focused line, so the product is expected to sit below the company's usual sub-$200 price tier.
  • CMF is a spin-off from Nothing formed with Optiemus and has recent audio experience such as the Headphone Pro, which showcased physical controls and long battery claims.
  • The Clip Pro will enter an expanding clip-style market that already includes offerings from Bose, Sony, and JBL and reported Samsung prototypes, making design, controls, and price key competitive factors.
