CMF Clip Pro review: Budget clip earbuds that punch above their price

CMF, the budget sub-brand of Nothing, has launched the Clip Pro, its first clip-style earbuds priced under $100.

Premium clip earbuds from brands like Bose, Sony, and Shokz can cost up to $200, making the CMF Clip Pro a notably affordable alternative.
