The CMF Headphone Pro launches in India at an introductory price of Rs.6,999 (regular price Rs.7,999), available from January 20th on Flipkart and in offline stores. It stands out in its price range with impressive specifications and features.
Audio Performance
These headphones deliver high-quality sound through 40mm custom dynamic drivers with nickel-plated diaphragms. They’re Hi-Res Audio certified and support LDAC codec at up to 990 kbps, ensuring superior audio quality. The frequency response spans 20Hz to 20kHz with 32Ω impedance and 105dB sensitivity. Enhanced bass response and low distortion tuning provide clear, powerful sound.
Noise Cancellation
The hybrid adaptive ANC system blocks up to 40dB of ambient noise, significantly better than most competitors offering 25-35dB. Features include transparency mode, wind noise reduction, auto-adjusting levels, and customizable profiles. The ear cushions also provide effective passive noise isolation.
Battery Life
Battery performance is exceptional, offering 100 hours without ANC and 50 hours with ANC enabled. Fast charging provides 5 hours of playback from just 5 minutes of charging. The 800mAh battery fully charges in approximately 2 hours via USB-C.
Connectivity and Controls
Bluetooth 5.4 provides stable connectivity with 10-meter range and multipoint support for two devices simultaneously. A low-latency gaming mode, Google Fast Pair, and wired 3.5mm jack option add versatility. The unique energy slider and roller dial offer intuitive control, complemented by touch gestures, customizable buttons, and voice assistant integration.
Design and Smart Features
The over-ear design weighs 283g with dimensions of 168.5 × 95.7 × 188.5 mm. Foldable construction enhances portability, while the adjustable headband and cushioned design ensure comfort. Available in Black, Orange, and White. The CMF companion app enables EQ customization, firmware updates, battery monitoring, and a Find My Headphone feature. Auto-pause and wear detection add convenience.
Important Considerations
LDAC codec requires compatible Android devices. At 283g, these headphones are slightly heavier than some competitors, though well-balanced. ANC effectiveness varies by environment. The combination of 100-hour battery life, 40dB adaptive ANC, and LDAC support makes these headphones exceptionally competitive in the Rs.6,999-8,000 segment.
