CMF — Nothing's value sub-brand — has launched the Buds Neo in India, and the pitch is simple: bring ANC and a genuinely long battery life down to a price most people won't think twice about. At ₹1,999, it's CMF's cheapest pair of earbuds to date, and it's aimed squarely at buyers who'd otherwise default to an unbranded pair on a quick-commerce app.

Here's what's confirmed about the price, specs, and design of the CMF Buds Neo.

Price and Availability

The CMF Buds Neo are priced at ₹1,999 and are on sale now in India through CMF's usual retail channels. This undercuts most ANC-equipped earbuds from larger brands by a significant margin, making the Neo a budget-first alternative to CMF's own pricier Buds and Buds Pro lines.

Key Features

  • Active Noise Cancellation: Up to 35dB ANC, a strong figure for this price band
  • Battery life: Claimed 52 hours combined (earbuds plus charging case)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 6, CMF's latest-generation wireless standard
  • Design: CMF's signature minimalist look, in white-with-orange-accent and black-with-blue-accent colourways

CMF hasn't published full technical specifications such as driver size, codec support, or IP rating alongside the launch, so treat anything beyond the figures above as still to be confirmed by the brand.

Should You Buy the CMF Buds Neo?

At ₹1,999 with 35dB ANC and a 52-hour battery claim, the Buds Neo look like an easy recommendation on paper for anyone who wants noise cancellation without spending ₹5,000+. The honest caveat: CMF hasn't detailed driver size or codec support, both of which matter more than ANC dB figures for actual sound quality, so treat this as a strong-value pick for calls, commutes, and casual listening rather than a confirmed audiophile upgrade until full reviews land.

Protecting the Phone You're Pairing Them With

New earbuds are also a good prompt to check the case and screen protection on the phone you're pairing them with — a scratched screen or a worn-out case tends to get more noticeable once you're reaching for your phone constantly to manage playback and ANC settings. Royal Star doesn't stock earbuds directly, but our tempered glass and back cover ranges cover most current Android phones.
