CMF states up to 52 hours of listening between charges including the case without active noise cancellation (ANC). When switching ANC on this reduced to a combined 30 hours, and as you’d expect the duration depends upon use but even the lower number is quite the accomplishment for a budget product.A 10 minute fast charge should even give you an additional 5.5 hours listening, making short bouts of charge very handy if you’re about to head out but realise you’ve not topped up, or when travelling for long stretches on a busy commute or train journey.The charging case stores the additional battery power necessary to increase the total listening time.35dB Active Noise Cancellation helps block background soundWith 35dB Active Noise Cancelling, the Buds Neo enter into a price segment where consumers are starting to treat noise cancellation as a feature we come to expect at this level. The Buds Neo have three levels of manual ANC, so you have the options to dial the level of unwanted sound cancellation up or down as needed. There is an Adaptive ANC feature, which works intelligently on the fly to change the noise cancellation to match the level of sound in the environment. This makes for the earbuds to be more versatile, for anything like an commute, working in a busy cafe or even casual listening where there’s a bit of background noise.ANC has an effect on battery life too, as is common for ANC earbuds. CMF states total playback of 30 hours with the ANC on, but up to 52 hours when ANC is turned off. Besides the ANC features, the CMF Buds Neo are also using four microphones with ‘Clear Voice technology’ for calls. This way CMF are not just promoting this product around the music it delivers, but more of all around useable product for your commutes, working environment and entertainment.India Price and AvailabilityCMF has priced the Buds Neo at ₹1,999 in India, placing them at the entry point of its current earbud range. The earbuds will be available through Flipkart, with open sales scheduled to begin on August 26. The launch positioning makes price a central part of the product's appeal, particularly because the Buds Neo combine ANC, a large dynamic driver, app-based audio customisation and long battery life in a sub-₹2,000 package.
