Nothing launches CMF Clip Pro to fix open-ear audio’s biggest flaws

TL;DR Nothing has launched the new CMF Clip Pro under its CMF sub-brand for just $99. 5mm titanium wire C-bridge to eliminate wearing fatigue. Other notable features include a rotatable and customizable Smart Dial on the case, LDAC support, and an app-controlled Sound Seal system to minimize audio leakage.

Nothing was reportedly said to be shifting to an AI-first strategy , with wearables and audio products taking priority over smartphones in a phased rollout. While the company didn’t comment on the report, Nothing’s CMF sub-brand has now officially announced the CMF Clip Pro, an open-ear earbud that marks the company’s entry into the increasingly crowded open-ear audio race. With the CMF Clip Pro, Nothing is tackling the real-world problems of wearing fatigue and sound quality that plague open-ear earbuds.

The Clip Pro utilizes a distinctive three-point clip design that distributes clamping pressure across three contact points on the ear rather than focusing it on a single spot. The structure features a flexible titanium wire C-bridge wrapped in skin-friendly TPU, which Nothing says contours to virtually any ear shape.
