  "account": "Nothing is unveiling its second generation of open-ear earbuds under its CMF brand - the CMF Clip Pro - available for $99, a $20 discount during the initial launch period. This clip-style design, reminiscent of recent releases, attaches to the outside of the ear, positioning the speaker near the ear canal while allowing external sounds to pass through.\n\nThe CMF Clip Pro houses 10.8mm drivers, paired with \"Ultra Bass Technology\" to compensate for the usual low-end reduction in open-ear earbuds. Despite their lightweight design at 5.92g, the earbuds boast an impressive battery life of 10 hours on a single charge and a total of 32.5 hours with the included charging case.\n\nCMF is reintroducing its \"Smart Dial\" feature, which can control volume, playback, and answer calls. The earbuds will be available in three colors - \"Coral,\" \"Light Grey,\" and \"Dark Grey.\" Pre-orders are currently open, with a promotional price of $79.99, rising to the standard $99.99 later this month. Pre-orders are also available on Amazon, slated for an August 15 release date.",
  "summary": "Nothing has launched the CMF Clip Pro earbuds under its CMF brand for $99. According to Android Authority, the earbuds weigh 6.5g each and feature a three-point clip structure with a flexible 0.5mm titanium wire C-bridge to reduce wearing fatigue. They also support LDAC and have an app-controlled Sound Seal system to minimize audio leakage.\n\nThe CMF Clip Pro comes in three color options: white, black, and orange, which are described as light gray, dark gray, and coral, respectively, and each has a coordinating charging case with a rotatable and customizable Smart Dial. The earbuds are available in the US.\n\nThe CMF Clip Pro is currently available for $99, with a $20 discount during its initial launch window, as reported by 9to5Google.",
