  "account": "Nothing's new CMF Clip Pro earbuds have arrived, priced at £79 ($99) and weighing just 5.9 grams each. These clip-on buds boast a new 3-point clip design, a 10.8mm driver with Ultra Bass Technology, and LDAC support for high-quality wireless streaming. Unlike Nothing's flagship audio snapshot feature, the Clip Pro does not record calls or have call recording capabilities. The earbuds employ a VPU-powered Clear Voice Technology and a four HD mic system to deliver clear audio and reduce background noise. Privacy-conscious users will appreciate the Sound Seal system, which minimizes sound leakage and prevents sound from being easily heard by others nearby. The earbuds can be customized through the Nothing X app, offering dedicated settings for calls and audio playback. In addition to the 10.8mm driver, the Clip Pro features a smart dial for volume control, playback management, answering calls, and pairing devices. They also include on-ear physical controls for use even with gloves, low-latency mode for gaming, dual device connectivity, and a find my solution for locating lost earbuds. The IP54 rating ensures protection against water and dust ingress. With up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 32.5 hours with the charging case, the Clip Pro is priced at £79 ($99) and will be available starting August 15, 2026.",
  "summary": "If the Nothing sub-brand's inaugural clip-style open earbuds can ace the ‘three point fit’ idea, I predict a class-leading set of LDAC-toting buds —especially for this crazy low price",
