CMF has officially expanded its audio lineup with the new CMF Clip Pro, marking the brand’s first foray into the open-ear earbud market. Designed for users navigating busy cities and active lifestyles, the earbuds prioritize a natural listening experience that maintains environmental awareness without sacrificing comfort or sound quality.
Engineered around a proprietary 3-point Clip Design, the earbuds feature a slim C-bridge with an elastic titanium wire core that flexes to fit any ear shape, distributing pressure evenly rather than concentrating it in one spot. Weighing just 6.5 grams each, the Clip Pro utilizes skin-friendly materials and an optimized listening ball to ensure long-term comfort while efficiently directing sound toward the ear canal.
Despite its lightweight, open-ear construction, the Clip Pro is built to deliver premium wireless audio. The earbuds are equipped with a custom-tuned 10.8 mm dual-magnet dynamic driver and utilize CMF’s Ultra Bass Technology to intelligently enhance low frequencies and reduce treble distortion, compensating for the natural bass loss typical of open-ear designs. The devices are also Hi-Res Audio Certified and support high-quality streaming codecs including LDAC, AAC and SBC. To ensure clear communication in noisy environments, the Clip Pro integrates a VPU-powered Clear Voice Technology and a 4 HD microphone system, alongside a customizable Sound Seal system designed to reduce audio leakage and protect user privacy during calls and playback.
Aligning with CMF’s distinctive, playful industrial design language, the Clip Pro is available in three distinct colorways: Dark Grey, Light Grey and Coral. A standout feature is the signature Smart Dial integrated directly into the charging case, allowing users to quickly adjust volume, manage playback, and handle calls without needing to interact with their phones. Built to withstand daily wear, the IP54-rated earbuds offer up to 10 hours of continuous playback—extending to 32.5 hours with the case—and support fast charging, Bluetooth 5.4, and Dual Device Connection. The CMF Clip Pro is available starting today on the brand’s official webstore, retailing for $99 USD.
