CMF Clip Pro Features, Specifications

The CMF Clip Pro features an open-ear design with a three-point clip structure that is designed to distribute pressure across the ear. The earbuds are said to use an elastic titanium wire core inside the C-shaped bridge and skin-friendly materials.

Physical button controls are also available on each earbud.

For audio, the CMF Clip Pro earbuds are equipped with a 10.8mm dynamic driver with a TPU and LCP diaphragm and CMF's custom tuning.

The earbuds also offer Static Spatial Audio, five preset equaliser modes and one custom EQ. CMF has also included its Malleus algorithm, which is claimed to enhance bass while reducing treble distortion.

For calls, the CMF Clip Pro uses four microphones, with two microphones on each earbud. It combines a VPU-powered call processing system with Elephant Sound AI for voice enhancement. The earbuds also include a Sound Seal feature that is designed to reduce audio leakage and can be customised through the Nothing X app.
