CMF Buds 2 Plus
Score: 81/100
Soundcore P31i with ANC
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Soundcore P31i offers adaptive ANC, a massive 50-hour total battery life, and lightweight comfort. Trade-offs include the absence of wireless charging and a bass-forward sound signature. Ideal for commuters and travelers who value long playtime and strong ANC.
The CMF Buds 2 Plus 2025 feature 12 mm drivers, LDAC hi-res audio, 61.5 hours of total battery life and low-latency gaming mode on Nothing phones. Real-world ANC falls short of the advertised 50 dB and touch controls can be imprecise. Targeted at budget-conscious Android gamers and workout enthusiasts.

Professional reviewers commend the Buds 2 Plus for its refined audio balance, robust 12 mm driver, and solid battery life, positioning it as a compelling budget-friendly option. However, they criticize the gap between advertised and real-world ANC performance, touch-control reliability, and the under-utilized Spatial Audio feature.
Consumers consistently appreciate the clear, LDAC-enabled sound, comfortable lightweight design, and reliable call quality. Recurring themes include frustration with touch-control precision, variability in ANC performance, and limited LDAC support on iOS devices.
Professional reviewers commend the P31i for their feather-light comfort, powerful bass from the 11 mm titanium-coated drivers, and a highly effective adaptive ANC that outperforms the prior P30i. They also note the lack of deep technical data and third-party benchmarks, which limits a full performance assessment.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the earbuds' ultra-light weight, punchy bass, and long battery life, while expressing mild concerns about fit stability and the scarcity of detailed user-generated feedback.
