Nothing, the upstart U.K. brand that makes products like phones, smartwatches, and headphones, has quickly become one of my favorite players in tech. Its products offer unique features and designs, and the prices are competitive. For example, right now, Nothing’s latest budget over-ear headphones, which were released in October 2025, the CMF Headphone Pros, are just $79 (originally $99). This is a great option for anyone looking to get reasonably priced over-the-ear headphones that punch above their weight when it comes to performance.

Very much like Nothing’s CMF Buds Pro 2 earbuds, the CMF Headphone Pros are budget headphones that don’t feel like it. They are an affordable alternative to the popular Headphone 1 ($299), and seamlessly integrate into the Nothing/CMF ecosystem, which includes smartphones, watches, and other audio products. There is a companion Nothing X app that allows you to customize action buttons, among other things, but the cool thing about these headphones is the control you get without needing the app.
There is a multi-function roller on one side of the headphone that you can roll to adjust volume or press to control the ANC modes, which include adaptive ANC (adjusting cancellation/transparency in real-time) and Spatial Audio (creates an immersive, 3D soundstage for music/movies). On the other side, you’ll find an “Energy Slider,” which tunes your sound in real-time, instantly adjusting the treble and bass balance.
You’ll get an impressive 100 hours of playback on a single charge (reduced to up to 50 hours with ANC turned on) as well as AAC, SBC, and LDAC support. They have an IPX2 rating for resistance against sweat, and there is a 3.5mm audio jack for wired listening.
Nothing is well known for its minimalistic design, but these headphones go a bit further by allowing you to mix and match the earcups with different colors (sold separately for $25). These are a good option for those looking for a bold style budget over-ear headphones that have great battery life and excellent audio quality for their price point.
