CMF by Nothing is entering the portable audio market with its first-ever speaker lineup, the Speaker S and Speaker M, set to launch on October 12. The company confirmed the date in an official post on X, marking its debut in a new product category.
The announcement comes months after CMF decided not to launch a new smartphone in 2026, citing rising memory costs and the challenge of delivering a meaningful upgrade at its usual price point. The brand, known for its playful industrial design, appears to be channelling its energy into audio instead.
What is known about the two speakers
Both speakers adopt a milk-carton-inspired "gable-top" design with a built-in carry handle, in line with CMF's distinctive aesthetic. Retail listings reported by technology publications describe the smaller Speaker S as offering Bluetooth 5.4, an 18-hour playback time from a 2,500mAh battery, a 40mm driver with a bass radiator, and a USB-C port, weighing about 580 grams.
The larger Speaker M is reported to be a 12-watt portable Bluetooth speaker with dual drivers, bass boost, an 18-hour battery, Bluetooth 5.4, IP54 splash resistance, and CMF's signature orange volume knob.
The devices were spotted in FCC certification filings earlier, confirming they are portable battery-powered wireless speakers. Beyond the design and these reported specifications, CMF has not officially disclosed pricing or availability details.
Why it matters
The launch signals CMF's ambition to become a broader lifestyle technology brand rather than just a smartphone label. The budget audio market in India is fiercely competitive, but CMF's design-first approach has won it a loyal following in the earphones and wearables space, and it will be hoping to repeat that formula with speakers.
