CMF recently became its own company in India, divesting from Nothing. The company is now moving quickly with a new product launch that looks like a fresh carton of milk.
This morning (Oct. 12), CMF announced its first wave of speakers: the Speaker S and Speaker M. These speakers take inspiration from classic cartons of milk, but they’re packed full of sound for any occasion. CMF says it went with a design that was “something unique” and fit its brand. The Speaker S looks like the milk cartons you’d get in school for lunch. It features a custom-tuned 45 mm driver in a short form factor.
CMF states it worked to enhance the lower frequencies on the Speaker S to achieve “deeper, more resonant bass.” What’s more, the Speaker S is aimed at portability since it’s a bit smaller than the Speaker M. If you have two of the same model (Speaker S, in this case), CMF says users can turn them into “dedicated left and right channels” with Stereo Mode. Users can fill an area with more sound, as if they were using a standard sound system.

If you’re sticking with one speaker, CMF’s Wide Soundstage brings more audio depth to that solo device. Adaptive Tuning handles the speaker’s EQ; however, users can create custom EQs using the Nothing X app.
Party Mode leans on Android’s Auracast to sync multiple speakers. CMF states this will work with its speakers and devices from other companies.
The CMF Speaker S features 18 hours of audio playback “at 50% volume with Ultra Bass on.” A quick 10-minute charge reportedly delivers one hour of audio. Speaker S supports Tap to Pair, Bluetooth 6.0, and USB-C lossless audio.
The CMF Speaker S is available in white, dark grey, orange, and turquoise. Consumers can purchase the speaker for $59.
Speaker M
The CMF Speaker M retains many of the same features as the Speaker S. Consumers will find Ultra Bass, offering “controlled low-end impact for playlists that need extra weight.” This feature toggles on and off, letting users fine-tune their audio experience at a moment’s notice. The Speaker M also provides Party Mode, Stereo Mode, Wide Soundstage, Adaptive Tuning, and Custom EQs.
However, the primary difference lies in its design. The Speaker M is taller, with a dedicated subwoofer and tweeter. CMF wanted to up the ante with the Speaker M’s audio capabilities over the Speaker S. The post states the Speaker M pushes its clarity and bass for a “balanced” experience when broadcasting in larger rooms.
The Speaker M supports USB-C lossless audio, Tap to Pair, Bluetooth 6.0, Dual Device connection, and more. Its battery will support 18 hours of audio at 50% volume with Ultra Bass enabled, similar to the Speaker S.
Consumers can pick up the CMF Speaker M today (Oct. 12) in white, dark grey, orange, and turquoise for $109.
While the CMF Speaker S and Speaker M may look like completed products, the company says consumers can change their designs. CMF states users can take off the Speaker S and Speaker M’s volume knobs and panels and switch them out. You can “mix and match,” or you could 3D print your own designs.
CMF has provided users with the STL files required to begin 3D printing.
