Nothing’s CMF Buds Neo are entering India as an affordable pair of wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation, a long claimed battery life and a launch price of ₹1,999. The model is positioned below many mainstream ANC earbuds and is aimed at shoppers who want basic noise reduction without moving into a higher price bracket.

Times of India reported that the CMF Buds Neo will go on sale in India from Aug. 26 in Black, White and Dark Blue. The earbuds are expected to be sold through Flipkart, Croma, Reliance and Vijay Sales. Availability can vary by retailer, so buyers should check the listing and warranty information before placing an order.
The earbuds support up to 35dB of active noise cancellation and use 12.4mm drivers. CMF claims up to 52 hours of total playback with the charging case when ANC is switched off. The review and launch specifications also describe up to 30 hours with ANC enabled, along with a quick-charge feature that can provide several hours of playback after a short charge.
Other features include Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device connectivity and integration with the Nothing X app. The buds are rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, while the case has a lower IPX2 rating. That distinction means users should be more careful with the case around water even if the earbuds are designed to handle light exposure.
Noise cancellation at this price is likely to be most useful for reducing steady background sounds such as air-conditioning, traffic and office hum. It should not be treated as a guarantee that every voice or sudden noise will disappear. Sound quality, fit and microphone performance will also depend on the listener’s device, ear tips and environment.
The CMF Buds Neo’s main selling point is the combination of 35dB ANC, a claimed 52-hour battery figure and a ₹1,999 launch price. Buyers should compare the final retailer price, sale date and after-sales terms when listings go live on Aug. 26.
