  "account": "The CMF Speaker M is Nothing's budget sub-brand attempt at a portable speaker. It boasts a whimsical, milk carton-shaped design, IP68 waterproofing, and great sound quality (for the most part). Priced at $109 / £99, it's a bit of a gamble due to its battery life. The CMF Speaker M review covers its price, durability, connectivity, features, and overall performance. The speaker's design is its standout feature, with a colorful and portable build. Measuring 8.6 x 3.4 x 2.1 inches and weighing 1.2lbs, it's easy to carry around. One of its key selling points is its IP68 waterproof rating, making it suitable for use at the beach, in the shower, or even in sandy environments. It supports Bluetooth 6.0, AAC, SBC, and LC3 codecs, along with Auracast multi-speaker pairing. The speaker also offers Stereo Mode and Party Mode for enhanced audio experience. Sound quality is generally good, with a slightly neutral tuning and 35W power output. It delivers detailed vocals and bright percussion without overpowering.",
  "summary": "The CMF Speaker M looks fun with its milk carton-like design, and it's highly waterproof. It delivers nearly perfect sound, but it has some flaws.",
