CMF launches customisable portable speakers priced from $59
CMF, Nothing's budget-focused sub-brand, has launched its first portable Bluetooth speakers. The Speaker Series comprises two models designed with distinctive aesthetics and customisable components, positioning the brand as an alternative to conventional speaker makers.
The Speaker S costs $59 with a single 45mm driver, while the $109 Speaker M features dual drivers including a 10W tweeter and 25W woofer for superior bass and audio separation. Both models deliver up to 18 hours of battery life, carry an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, and offer fully customisable designs: the front panel and control knob can be swapped with alternative colours, or users can 3D-print entirely new designs using files CMF plans to release. Additional connectivity features include dual-device pairing, Bluetooth 6, and an Auracast-based party mode for synchronising multiple speakers.

CMF is the budget-focused sub-brand of Nothing, a technology company known for releasing consumer electronics at competitive prices. The company has now entered the portable speaker market, a segment dominated by established brands like JBL, UE Boom, and Marshall.
Portable Bluetooth speakers are wireless devices that play music from phones or tablets and are designed to be carried around. They've become popular for outdoor gatherings, travel, and everyday listening because they offer convenience without being tied to a fixed location.
CMF's distinguishing feature is customisation. The speakers come with interchangeable front panels and control knobs in different colours, and the company plans to release design files so users can 3D-print entirely new housings. This approach targets consumers who want to personalise their tech rather than accept standard designs.
