earworm, 11 Aug 2024I've heard that the adjustment you can do to the sound... moreYeah the joke about their names meaning did not elude me either. It's good that the sound can be adjusted, but to be honest at that price point you have plenty of alternatives already. They don't seem particularly cheap and I am sure the better offerings from Nothing often are not much more expensive

    What I've realised with CMF specifically is that even though their products might be good the issue is they also look like toys. Let's be real jere for a second. Smartphones and accessories have become jewellery of the 21st century.

    Can you really have any respect for a manager in the workplace if he rocks up with a CMF phone 1 and these earbuds?! You would look look at that person as a child. Unfortunately the reality is that the phone you use sends a statement. I think the cmf phone is good for what it is but the gimmicks and the colorful backing don't make it look professional which is off putting once you get past a certain age. Sorry folks! Would be good to see a difference to my opinion. Thanks

I agree about the look though, the matte finish on the box and stems looks nice, I don't know why they went glossy on the heads of the buds. Very ironic for a company that literally has materials and finish in their name.

          Cyberchum, 11 Aug 2024Totally subjective. Is it? That part glossy part matte blue makes them look way cheaper than they are. Everybody in my office agreed on earlier pictures of these too and the picture while worn here does not help to change it, it only confirms it. These look hideous.

              Terribly ugly.. Sound will be objective but if it is similar to Buds FE its a nope from me, I really disliked their overblown bass. In the end it comes down to design since there are plenty of alternatives and in that regard these atleast in blue are a complete buzzkill, it looks like a cheap toy, something their watch seemed to also go for, sadly.

                  GSMArena, did you consider including some measurements or at least some subjective rating for different categories for your earbuds reviews?

                    They are making a great cheap eco system, well done CMF!

                          Go for the Redmi Buds 5 for the rest. This for the design only.

                              Slightly off topic, Apple Music have Hi-Fi audio playback but does it support LDAC on Android?

                                Looks extra cheap and plasticky, like boat, boult, fire-boltt and other chindian brands.

                                  I was interested in these so I'm glad to see a positive review of them.

                                        that's why they removed 3.5mm jack so you can buy these disposable earbuds for the good of the environment.
