CMF, the sub-brand of London-based tech company Nothing, is pushing beyond phones and wearables into audio hardware. The brand has announced its first pair of portable speakers: the CMF Speaker S and the CMF Speaker M.

A boxy design with a pop of color

Both models stand out with slim, elongated bodies that resemble a box. Round grilles with a woven texture and control dials in contrasting colors give the devices a distinctive character. Buyers can choose from four colorways: white, turquoise, dark gray and orange.

The Speaker M sets itself apart from its sibling with a slot for a carrying handle on the body and a second grille on the front panel.

Sound output splits along two lines

The Speaker S packs a single 45 mm full-range driver backed by dual passive radiators. It delivers 10W RMS of total output and covers frequencies from 70 Hz to 20 kHz.

The Speaker M combines a 25W woofer with a 10W tweeter for a total of 35W RMS, allowing its frequency range to reach down to 60 Hz.

One-dial control, two ways to pair

The rotary dial on the body handles playback, track skipping, volume and the Ultra Bass mode directly. Separate buttons take care of power, Bluetooth pairing and Auracast functions.

Two options stand out for multi-speaker setups: a pair of the same model is enough for a classic stereo experience, while "Party Mode", which works via Auracast support, lets two or more compatible speakers link together.

Battery life and pricing

Both models promise up to 18 hours of use at 50% volume with Ultra Bass switched on. A 10-minute fast charge delivers roughly an hour of listening.

The Speaker S, now on sale, forms the entry level with a $59 price tag. The more powerful Speaker M has landed on shelves at $109.
