CMF has officially entered India’s over-ear active noise cancellation (ANC) headphone segment with the launch of the CMF Headphone Pro, introducing a rare modular approach to a category traditionally dominated by fixed designs. The new offering combines customisable hardware, long battery life, and high-resolution audio at an aggressively competitive price point.
A key highlight of the CMF Headphone Pro is its modular design, most notably the swappable ear cushions. Users can replace or mix cushions across colour variants, allowing for personalisation in both appearance and sound tuning. The headphones are available in Light Grey, Dark Grey, and Light Green, with all variants supporting interchangeable components.
Battery life is another major focus. CMF claims a best-in-segment playback time of up to 100 hours on a single charge with ANC turned off. Even with ANC enabled, the headphones are rated for up to 50 hours of use. Fast charging support allows eight hours of playback from just five minutes of charging, and the device can be charged directly from a smartphone using a USB-C to USB-C cable, adding convenience for users on the move.
The Headphone Pro features Hybrid Adaptive ANC, capable of delivering up to 40dB of noise reduction by automatically adjusting to surrounding sound conditions. CMF states that the system can block up to 99 percent of ambient noise, making it suitable for travel and noisy environments.
CMF has also emphasised physical, tactile controls instead of touch gestures. A dedicated Roller control handles volume, playback, and ANC modes, while a customisable button provides quick access to features such as Spatial Audio or AI-powered functions. Additionally, a new “Energy Slider” lets users manually adjust bass and treble levels in real time, depending on the intensity of the track being played.
On the audio front, the Headphone Pro is equipped with custom 40mm nickel-plated drivers and supports Hi-Res Audio and LDAC, enabling high-quality wireless playback. The headphones also integrate Audiodo technology, which creates a personalised sound profile by analysing the unique shape of the user’s ear canal for a more tailored listening experience.
The CMF Headphone Pro will go on sale in India from Tuesday, January 20, 2026, via Flipkart and select offline retail stores. While the standard retail price is set at Rs 7,999, CMF is offering an introductory launch price of Rs 6,999 for a limited period, positioning the headphones as a strong value contender in the mid-range ANC market.
