For noise cancellation, the CMF Headphone Pro features Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) capable of reducing up to 40dB of ambient sound. It relies on five microphones, an adaptive ANC algorithm, environmental noise cancellation (ENC), transparency mode, and a wind noise reduction mesh for clearer performance during calls and music playback.
Control options include a Roller dial for volume adjustment, playback, and ANC toggling. An Energy Slider lets users tweak bass and treble, while a customisable button gives quick access to features like ANC modes, Spatial Audio, or even ChatGPT activation.
Powering the device is a 720mAh battery, offering up to 100 hours of playback (ANC off, AAC codec, 50% volume), around 70 hours on LDAC, and up to 35 hours with ANC enabled. Talk time without ANC goes up to 50 hours. A full charge takes approximately 120 minutes via USB Type-C, while a 5-minute top-up delivers up to 5 hours of playback.
