What Buyers Say
Nothing Headphone Pro B175
The CMF by Nothing headphones are widely praised for their exceptional value at around $80, offering premium build quality, comfortable fit, and impressive sound with deep bass and clear mids/highs. Active noise cancellation is effective for the price, though not top-tier, and battery life is excellent. Minor drawbacks include a soft carrying pouch instead of a hard case, a slightly bulky design, and a volume scroll wheel that adjusts in 6% increments. Overall, users strongly recommend them as a budget-friendly alternative to high-end models like Sony XM4/XM5.
Pros
- Exceptional value for money
- Premium build quality and design
- Comfortable for long wear
- Deep, punchy bass with clear mids/highs
- Effective ANC for the price
Cons

TANCHIJIM RITA
The Tanchjim RITA wireless headphones deliver impressive sound quality and battery life for their price, with a highly customizable app that lets users fine-tune the audio to their liking. However, the active noise cancellation is mediocre compared to flagship models, and the ear pads are not replaceable. Wired use disables ANC and EQ, and the transparency mode can be sluggish. Overall, these are a strong first-generation product that punches above its weight class, especially for those who enjoy tweaking sound profiles.
Pros
- Excellent sound quality for the price
- Highly customizable app with parametric EQ
- Outstanding battery life (51-92 hours)
- Premium packaging and design
- Comfortable for long sessions
Cons
- Mediocre active noise cancellation
- Non-replaceable ear pads
- Wired mode disables ANC and EQ
- Transparency mode can be sluggish
- Ear cups may be small for large ears
