Nothing's Budget Earbuds, CMF Buds Neo, Launching Soon

Nothing's budget sub-brand, CMF, has announced its next product, a pair of earbuds called the CMF Buds Neo. This comes after teasing a new audio product earlier this week. The Buds Neo will be released on August 20, as revealed in a tweet by CMF.

The teaser video provides our first look at the charging case, which, like other CMF audio products, features a smart dial. However, the case's specific features have not been disclosed.

The video also hints at the available colors for the CMF Buds Neo, with three combinations: white and orange, black and blue, and black and black. The color scheme relates to the stem and silicone ear tip, as seen in an earlier teaser image showing a white earbud with an orange ear tip.

The design appears to feature at least two microphones and a circular touch control zone, reminiscent of CMF's Buds 2 series.

The "Neo" moniker is an intriguing choice, as neither Nothing nor CMF has used it for a product before. Apple launched the MacBook Neo earlier this year, which might have inspired the name. However, it's unlikely the CMF Buds Neo will resemble Apple's AirPods.

The price of the CMF Buds Neo remains unknown, but given the brand's history of budget offerings, it could be an affordable option. Peter, who reviewed the CMF Buds 2 and CMF Buds 2 Plus, praised their value and sound quality, making the upcoming Buds Neo an anticipated release.
