The CMF Speaker Series is Nothing’s first budget wireless speaker lineup, built to be affordable and customizable. There are two sizes: Speaker S at $59 and Speaker M at $109, both with IP68 rating and up to 18 hours of battery life.
Key perks include removable panels and a modular front, plus app-based sound tuning. You can also 3D print your own shells, thanks to official design files from CMF.
For larger rooms or parties, you can pair two of the same model for stereo, and Auracast support lets you sync with other speakers from different brands.
The CMF Speaker Series, the first wireless speakers from the CMF line and the brainchild of the Nothing brand, arrive with a clear goal: keep price low without sacrificing a sense of playfulness and customization. Available today, the two sizes come in white, dark gray, orange, and turquoise, and they’re built to look more like collectible objects than purely functional audio gear.
There are two models to pick from. The smaller CMF Speaker S carries a single 45mm full-range driver with two passive radiators, while the larger CMF Speaker M adds a 10W tweeter and a dedicated 25W woofer to deliver deeper bass and clearer instrument separation. Prices in the United States start at $59 for the Speaker S and $109 for the Speaker M.
Both speakers deliver up to 18 hours of battery life and carry an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, which means they should survive rain or a spill at the pool. Audio can be tailored in the Nothing X app, letting you adjust sound profiles to suit different songs or environments.
A standout feature is the removable front panel and modular knob. Nothing says the whole front panel, including the knob, can be swapped for different colors or even entirely new designs. The company also plans to release official design files so fans and hobbyists can 3D print custom shells and faceplates, giving this line a distinctly DIY flavor.
Connectivity covers modern needs: dual-device Bluetooth 6 with quick pairing options like NFC, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair. You can pair two Speaker S units together for stereo or two Speaker M units for a fuller left-right setup. And if you own other brands’ speakers, you can sync the CMF lineup to a larger party sound using an Auracast-based feature, which is designed to simplify multi-speaker setups.
All of this sits in a package that looks unlike most budget speakers. The designs aim to mimic a grocery-store dairy aisle aesthetic, think milk-carton vibes, without sacrificing the brand’s playful identity. It’s a reminder that audio gear can be as much about personality as performance.
