Sound quality:ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. It's THE best for being at such a mid-range price in Malaysia. Noise cancelling:9/10 RATING. It goes ALMOST on par with Apple's Airpods pro. I tried Apple's one for the first time a few months ago, and In comparison, CMF's one is almost ON PAR. The earbuds? FIT SNUGLY on your ears. this thing WON'T come off. it doesn't have the issue of sliding out over time, an shopee.com.my

I've been using these earbuds for a couple of weeks now and I'm mightily pleased with them. Comfort - excellent foam or silicone tips of differing sizes are provided, so finding a cood secure and comfortable fit was no problem. Connectivity - Easy to set up initially, and connection quality is stable. Battery - Never yet had to worry about them losing power before I was ready to stop listening.
