London-based consumer technology brand, CMF, aims to make great design more accessible while delivering a top-tier user experience through a focus on core product functionalities. First launched in September 2023, the sub-brand of Nothing introduced its inaugural product line: CMF Buds Pro, CMFWatch Pro, and the 65W GaN Charger. Recognized for their distinctive attention to Color, Material, and Finish, the brand’s products have earned widespread acclaim from both media and customers alike.

‘Last September, we launched our sub-brand, CMF by Nothing, bringing great design to more people and delivering an uncompromized user experience in a segment that has often been neglected. The reception for our first-generation products has been amazing, and they quickly became bestsellers. Today, we are excited to launch Buds and Neckband Pro, and even more excited about everything that’s to come,’ says Akis Evangelidis, Co-founder of Nothing.
