Good morning. It’s まさきん.

I came across a clip-on earphone called the CMF Clip Pro. It’s designed to leave your ears open, and it’s apparently marketed around how clear it makes phone calls sound. That caught my interest, so I decided to dig into the official details.

What Is the CMF Clip Pro?

CMF is a new line from the smartphone brand Nothing. The CMF Clip Pro is a wireless earphone released under that CMF lineup.

As the name suggests, it clips onto your ear rather than plugging into it. Unlike a typical earbud, it’s designed so it doesn’t block your ear canal at all.

It’s priced at ¥12,800, and comes in three colors: coral, light gray, and dark gray.

Features Built Around Call Clarity

What the official page emphasizes most is how easy it is to hear and be heard on calls. It apparently comes with a proprietary voice-processing feature called “Clear Voice Technology.”

On the audio side, it supports both Hi-Res Audio and LDAC. Even with its open design, it seems like real care went into the sound quality.

This is clearly a product built around call clarity, and honestly, it’s hard not to feel personally drawn to that. With both of us working and four kids in the house, the idea of not being able to hear what’s going on around me during a call is a little scary.

If you’re someone who’s on the phone a lot, it might also be worth reconsidering your phone bill itself. With Rakuten Mobile, a referral can earn you up to 14,000 points.

Things Worth Double-Checking

As of when I checked the official page, I couldn’t find any listed battery life or water-resistance rating. I also haven’t been able to confirm the fit or the actual in-use experience yet.

CHECK

If you’re interested, I’d recommend checking Nothing’s official product page for the latest pricing and specs. Stock also seems to vary depending on the color.

Who Might This Suit?

Because the design keeps your ears open, it seems well suited to anyone who wants to stay aware of what’s happening around them while listening. That could mean during a commute, or while doing housework and keeping an eye on the kids.

As someone who often takes calls at home while keeping an eye on the kids, I’ll admit this one has caught my attention.

Wrap-up

The CMF Clip Pro is a clip-on wireless earphone that leaves your ears open, priced at ¥12,800 and seemingly designed with call clarity as its top priority.

You can buy it through Nothing’s official website. It wasn’t listed among Rakuten Mobile’s handled products, so that’s worth keeping in mind.

I’ll keep following up on the specs and real-world impressions as more information comes out. And if this ends up being a nudge to reconsider your phone costs overall, it might be worth taking a look at Rakuten Mobile too.
