CMF has entered the portable speaker market with a design that refuses to blend into the background. The brand’s first portable Bluetooth speakers look like milk cartons, come in two sizes, and can pair with another speaker for a larger sound setup.
The CMF Speaker Series brings together bold colors, removable parts, strong water and dust resistance, and up to 18 hours of battery life. With prices starting at $59, the series gives listeners two distinct hardware options while keeping the same playful design language across both models.
Two Sizes, One Very Distinct Design
The smaller $59 CMF Speaker S uses a 45mm full-range driver and two passive radiators. It is built for a compact setup, but CMF still gives it the core features found across the series, including Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, and up to 18 hours of battery life.
The $109 CMF Speaker M steps up the audio hardware with two drivers, including a 10W tweeter and a 25W woofer. That combination gives the larger speaker a separate tweeter for higher frequencies and a woofer for lower frequencies, creating a different sound setup from the single full-range driver inside the Speaker S.
Both speakers come in orange, turquoise, and white. Their milk carton shape makes the pair easy to tell apart from more traditional portable speakers, while the shared colors connect the two sizes as one series.
The control knob adds another layer of customization. The knobs come in different shapes and colors, and the multifunction knob and front panel can be removed and swapped between devices. That means owners can change the visible parts of the speakers instead of treating the original design as permanent.
Customization Reaches Beyond the Hardware
CMF is also opening the door to custom modifications through an official design file. The file will let users create their own modifications, extending the speaker’s customization beyond the included colors, knobs, and front panels.
The sound profile can be customized through the Nothing X app, giving listeners control over how the speakers sound. That software option pairs with the physical changes, allowing the Speaker S and Speaker M to stand out in both appearance and audio tuning.
The speakers also support a dual-device connection, letting users connect two devices. Fast pairing comes through NFC pairing, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair, while audio over USB-C gives the speakers another way to handle sound beyond Bluetooth.
Each speaker includes a USB-C port for charging and audio input. Both models support Bluetooth 6.0 and Auracast, adding modern wireless features to a design that looks more like a familiar carton than a conventional speaker enclosure.
Pair Like Models, Not Mixed Sizes
The pairing system has one clear limit: two Speaker S units can pair together, and two Speaker M units can pair together, but a Speaker S cannot pair with a Speaker M. Buyers who want a paired setup will need to choose the same model for both speakers.
That restriction creates two separate paths through the lineup. Two Speaker S units form a matched compact system, while two Speaker M units create a matched setup built around the 10W tweeter, dual drivers, and 25W woofer in each speaker.
Both models can play music for up to 18 hours, and both carry an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Those shared features make the choice less about losing essential functions and more about deciding between the Speaker S’s 45mm full-range driver and the Speaker M’s larger two-driver design.
The CMF Speaker Series is the first portable Bluetooth speaker launch from Nothing’s CMF brand. Nothing is in the process of spinning off into an India-based standalone subsidiary, and this speaker lineup gives CMF a new product category to build around as that transition moves forward.
With two sizes, three colors, interchangeable exterior parts, app-based sound customization, and an official design file for custom modifications, CMF is treating portable speakers as more than sealed audio boxes. The milk carton shape grabs attention first, but the real story is the invitation to change how the speakers look, sound, and work together.
