CMF Buds 2 Light Orange
Score: 86/100
SoundPEATS C30 with ANC
Score: 87/100Rankings
The SoundPEATS C30 combines powerful 52 dB hybrid ANC with LDAC Hi-Res audio and up to 52 hours of total playback, making it a feature-rich budget option. LDAC disables some features like multipoint, and the transparency mode is less natural. Perfect for Android users wanting strong ANC and long battery at a low price.
CMF Buds 2 offer 48 dB hybrid ANC, Dirac-tuned sound and up to 55 hours total battery life in a sporty design. They provide spatial audio and low-latency gaming but the transparency mode is muffled and the default sound is bass-heavy, which may not suit all listeners. Best for budget-conscious commuters and gamers seeking strong ANC.

Professional reviewers commend the Buds 2 for delivering strong low-frequency ANC, exceptional battery life, and rich, customizable sound thanks to Dirac Opteo tuning, all at a compelling price. They also note clear call quality and low-latency gaming as standout features, but criticize the ANC's tendency to soften bass and the transparency mode's muffled character, indicating it falls short of elite-grade noise cancellation.
Everyday users praise the Buds 2 for its top-notch ANC, punchy bass, long battery life, and useful dual-device pairing, often calling it the best value in its price segment. Common complaints revolve around ear-tip comfort, a bass-heavy default sound, and a transparency mode that feels muffled or adds white noise.
