Nothing’s sub-brand CMF has dropped a new teaser for its first over-ear model, the CMF Headphone Pro, promising an eye-catching 100-hour battery life. The short trailer highlights battery endurance and a handful of design details, positioning the product as an affordable alternative to the flagship Nothing Headphone (1).
What the teaser actually shows
The teaser, posted on X (formerly Twitter), explicitly claims up to 100 hours of audio playback. That figure likely refers to use with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) turned off, since the larger Nothing Headphone (1) manages about 35 hours with ANC enabled and up to 80 hours without it. The CMF Headphone Pro’s 100-hour claim would therefore be notable for endurance in its price tier, especially if ANC is included at all.
Visually, the trailer highlights several practical elements: physical buttons, a slider control, a 3.5mm audio jack and a close-up of the earcup. An earlier CMF teaser hinted at a modular approach with replaceable earcups, but this clip doesn’t confirm that feature. Given Nothing’s design-first philosophy, though, expect a clean, user-friendly look and some thoughtful materials choice.
Positioning, features and launch timing
CMF is building out a budget-focused range—following the CMF Buds 2 line—so the Headphone Pro is likely to sit below the flagship Nothing Headphone (1) in price while targeting long battery life and essential features. If Nothing can deliver solid audio quality, comfortable fit and the promised 100-hour runtime, the CMF Headphone Pro could be an attractive option for long-haul listeners and commuters.
Nothing plans to reveal the CMF Headphone Pro on September 29, 2025. We’ll be covering the launch and hands-on impressions as soon as the headphones are official, including details on ANC, wired connectivity, and whether modular earcups return.
Conclusion
The CMF Headphone Pro teaser centers on endurance: a claimed 100-hour battery life that, if accurate, would set it apart in the affordable over-ear space. While ANC and modular design remain unconfirmed, the upcoming September 29 launch should answer the biggest questions about features, pricing and real-world performance.
