CMF has released the Speaker S, a compact Bluetooth speaker priced at €69. The portable device features an IP68-rated enclosure and delivers 10W of output.
Why it matters
The modular design approach targets users seeking customizable aesthetic options in the competitive entry-level audio market. By offering interchangeable components, CMF expands the functional lifespan and personalization potential of its hardware.
The unit employs a 45mm driver with a 70Hz to 20kHz frequency range, bolstered by two passive radiators for low-end reinforcement. This 10W configuration occupies a lower power tier compared to the CMF Speaker M.
The players
CMF
A sub-brand of Nothing that focuses on accessible, modular consumer electronics including audio equipment and mobile accessories.
The details
The Speaker S design centers on a lock button mechanism that allows users to swap the front cover and the rotating control knob. The knob serves as a multi-functional interface, managing volume, playback, and track navigation through distinct press sequences. Built for durability, the chassis meets an IP68 rating, which indicates resistance to dust ingress and long-term submersion in water.
