Nothing Expands Its Ecosystem With the Official Launch of the CMF Speaker S and Speaker M Portable Audio Lineup

Following a wave of anticipation and strategic teasers released last week, Nothing’s sub-brand, CMF, has officially taken the wraps off its latest hardware additions today. Known for its distinct approach to industrial design and accessible pricing, CMF is stepping firmly into the portable audio market with the introduction of its very first speakers: the CMF Speaker S and the CMF Speaker M. Building upon the brand’s expanding independent identity in the tech landscape, both new audio devices arrive carrying an expressive geometric design language that matches the signature aesthetic philosophy established by Nothing over the past few years. Beyond their striking exterior appearances, the newly unveiled speakers come equipped with modern connectivity standards, robust durability ratings, and advanced multi-speaker listening modes designed to appeal to everyday music enthusiasts on the go.

Staying true to the brand’s emphasis on versatility and durability, both the Speaker S and the Speaker M feature an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, making them well-suited for outdoor environments, poolside gatherings, or unpredictable weather conditions. Under the hood, the two devices leverage modern Bluetooth 6.0 technology to ensure stable connections, low latency, and efficient energy consumption. To enhance larger gatherings, the hardware includes support for both Stereo Mode and Party Mode. While Stereo Mode requires two identical speakers to create a dedicated left and right channel separation, Party Mode functions essentially as Auracast under a different name. This advanced broadcasting feature allows the speakers to link up seamlessly with two or more compatible units simultaneously, extending compatibility not just within CMF’s ecosystem but also with other compatible devices from external brands that support the standard.

Despite sharing a common design philosophy and core feature set, the two models cater to distinct physical footprints and power requirements. The smaller of the two, the CMF Speaker S, is engineered for maximum portability while still delivering robust audio performance. It houses a custom-tuned 45-millimeter full-range driver alongside dual passive radiators. This configuration enables the compact unit to deliver up to 10 watts of RMS power with a stated frequency response ranging from 70Hz up to 20kHz. For users seeking a more powerful audio output capable of filling larger rooms or outdoor spaces, the larger CMF Speaker M steps up the specifications significantly. The Speaker M incorporates a dedicated 25-millimeter woofer paired with a 10-millimeter tweeter, combining to push a total output of 35 watts RMS while expanding the frequency response down to 60Hz at the low end and reaching up to 20kHz on the high end.

To ensure that audio output remains crisp and balanced regardless of the genre or listening environment, both models employ an adaptive tuning algorithm. According to the company, this system continuously analyzes the audio playback in real time and optimizes the output and equalization dynamically. Users who prefer a more personalized listening experience are not left out, as the accompanying Nothing X companion application provides further customization options. Through the app, listeners can toggle an Ultra Bass mode or a Wide Soundstage mode, as well as select from four distinct custom equalizer presets tailored for different preferences, including Balanced, More Bass, More Treble, and Voice profiles.

Connectivity options extend far beyond standard wireless pairing. Both the CMF Speaker S and Speaker M support NFC tap-to-pair functionality, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair to streamline the initial connection process across smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. Furthermore, the speakers support dual device connectivity, allowing a single speaker to remain linked to two different source devices at the same time for effortless switching between a phone and a laptop. For users who prefer a wired connection or want to minimize wireless interference, the devices also come equipped with built-in USB-C audio support. Physical control is handled primarily by a tactile hardware knob situated directly on the devices, which manages playback, track navigation, volume levels, and the toggling of the Ultra Bass feature. Additionally, dedicated physical buttons are provided for power management, Bluetooth pairing, and activating Auracast functionality.

Battery performance is a crucial factor for any portable audio device, and CMF has designed its new speakers to endure extended listening sessions. Both the Speaker S and the Speaker M are rated for up to 18 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, measured under conditions of 50 percent volume with the Ultra Bass mode turned on. When the battery eventually runs low, the inclusion of fast-charging technology allows a quick 10-minute charge to yield approximately one hour of listening time. To match the vibrant and customizable aesthetic that users have come to expect from the brand’s accessory lineup, both speaker models will be offered in four distinct colorways: clean white, striking turquoise, deep dark grey, and energetic orange.

Market availability begins immediately, with sales opening today through Nothing’s official online store as well as select retail partners globally. In terms of pricing, the more compact CMF Speaker S is set at $59, positioning it as an accessible entry point for casual listeners, while the larger and more powerful CMF Speaker M will retail for $109, catering to those seeking a higher output and a richer low-end response from their portable audio gear.
