The CMF Buds Pro 2 (B172) arrived on my desk promising a premium true wireless experience, boasting features like ChatGPT integration, Clear Voice Technology 2.0, and impressive noise cancellation. After weeks of rigorous testing, involving everything from noisy commutes to quiet evenings at home, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.
The Buds Pro 2 are packed with features. The dual-driver system (11mm bass driver and 6mm tweeter) promises a rich and balanced soundscape, and the 50dB Smart Active Noise Cancellation effectively silences the outside world. The IP55 rating offers decent protection against sweat and splashes, making them suitable for workouts. The customizable Smart Dial on the charging case is a neat touch, allowing for quick adjustments to the sound profile. The ChatGPT integration, while a novel addition, requires further exploration to determine its full potential for practical application.
Sound quality is excellent. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming, and the highs are crisp and clear. The spatial audio effect adds a welcome layer of immersion to music and podcasts. Noise cancellation is remarkably effective, significantly reducing ambient noise in various environments. Call quality is consistently good, thanks to Clear Voice Technology 2.0. Battery life lived up to expectations, delivering over 24 hours of playback with the charging case, easily enough for a week of commuting and listening.
The fit is comfortable for extended wear, and the touch controls are responsive and intuitive. The charging case is sleek and well-designed, although slightly larger than some competitors. One minor drawback I encountered is that the ChatGPT integration isn’t as seamless as I’d hoped; there’s a noticeable latency when activating voice commands.
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality with balanced bass and clear highs
- Effective 50dB Smart Active Noise Cancellation
- Impressive battery life (over 24 hours)
- Comfortable and secure fit
- IP55 water and sweat resistance
- Customizable Smart Dial on the charging case
Cons:
- ChatGPT integration could be more seamless
- Charging case is relatively large
Overall, the CMF Buds Pro 2 (B172) are a compelling pair of true wireless earbuds. The exceptional sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and long battery life make them a strong contender in their price range. While the ChatGPT integration needs further refinement, it doesn’t detract significantly from the overall positive experience. I would confidently recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a high-quality audio experience with a modern feature set.
