CMF Buds Pro 2 (B172) Review: ChatGPT Integrated True Wireless Earbuds
Introduction
The CMF Buds Pro 2 (B172) earbuds promise a premium listening experience with features like 50dB Smart Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio, and even ChatGPT integration (though the specifics of this integration weren’t immediately clear during testing). Having spent several weeks using these earbuds for both work and leisure, I’m ready to share my detailed review.
Features
The Buds Pro 2 boasts an impressive array of features. The dual-driver setup (11mm bass driver and 6mm tweeter) delivers a surprisingly full and rich sound profile. The 50dB active noise cancellation effectively silences ambient noise on commutes or in busy offices, though I did notice some minor hissing at maximum ANC levels. The customizable Smart Dial on the charging case is a welcome addition, offering intuitive control over playback and noise cancellation. The IP55 rating provides decent protection against sweat and splashes.

Performance
Sound quality is generally excellent. The bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the highs are crisp and clear. I found the spatial audio effect to be immersive during music playback and movie watching. Call quality was also very good, with the person on the other end reporting clear audio even in noisy environments. Battery life lived up to expectations, consistently delivering over 24 hours of use with moderate ANC usage. Charging is quick and convenient via USB-C. However, the fit wasn’t perfect for my ears, requiring some experimentation with different ear tips to achieve a secure and comfortable seal.
The claimed ChatGPT integration remains somewhat vague in its practical application. While the earbuds connect to a voice assistant, it’s unclear how this directly interacts with ChatGPT functionality. Further investigation is needed to clarify this feature.
Pros & Cons
- Excellent sound quality
- Effective active noise cancellation
- Long battery life
- Comfortable fit (with the right ear tips)
- Intuitive Smart Dial controls
- Good call quality
- Slight hissing noise at max ANC
- Fit may not be ideal for all ear shapes
- Unclear implementation of ChatGPT integration
Final Verdict
The CMF Buds Pro 2 (B172) offers a compelling combination of features and performance at a competitive price point. While the ChatGPT integration needs further clarification, the strong audio quality, effective noise cancellation, and long battery life make these earbuds a great option for those seeking a reliable and versatile pair of true wireless headphones. I would recommend them, but potential buyers should be aware of the potential fit issues and fully research the extent of the ChatGPT integration before purchasing.
