CMF Launches Clip Pro Clip‑Style Open‑Ear Earbuds at $99

A lightweight three‑point clip design plus LDAC, a Smart Dial case, and long battery life position the Clip Pro as a lower‑cost entry in the fast‑growing open‑ear earbuds market.

Overview

  • CMF announced the Clip Pro as its first clip‑style open‑ear earbuds that will go on sale in the US, UK and Japan on Aug. 15 with a wider rollout to other markets on Sept. 15.
  • The earbuds list for $99 in the US with some retailers offering a limited $79 launch discount and come in Dark Grey, Light Grey and Coral colorways.
  • Their three‑point clip uses a flexible titanium C‑bridge to spread pressure around the ear and the buds weigh about 5.9–6.5 grams each to prioritize all‑day comfort and situational awareness.
  • Key specs include 10.8mm dual‑magnet drivers, LDAC/AAC/SBC support, CMF’s Ultra Bass tuning, a four‑microphone Clear Voice system, Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint, a Smart Dial on the case, and claimed battery life of roughly 10 hours per charge and about 32–32.5 hours with the case.
  • Early reviews praise the Clip Pro’s fit, comfort, microphone performance and battery life but report inconsistent pairing/connectivity and only average music fidelity, and CMF says firmware updates may address some connection issues; the product will not launch in India.
