CMF Launches Milk‑Carton‑Styled Speaker S and Speaker M

The new, affordable speakers pair playful, swappable hardware with app‑driven tuning to target style‑minded listeners.

Overview

  • CMF announced and began selling the Speaker S and Speaker M on Monday, October 12, 2026, with outlets reporting immediate global availability and prices of $59 for the S and $109 for the M.
  • Both models use a milk‑carton‑inspired, modular design with swappable front panels and interchangeable knobs that CMF encourages users to customize, including by 3D printing their own parts.
  • The two sizes have different audio hardware: the S uses a single 45mm full‑range driver with passive radiators while the M uses a dual‑driver layout with a woofer and tweeter; both are claimed to deliver up to 18 hours of playback in ideal conditions.
  • CMF emphasizes software and connectivity features such as real‑time AI EQ, an Ultra Bass mode, Nothing X app tuning, Auracast support, Stereo and Party modes, and USB‑C audio for low latency.
  • Coverage diverges on some technical specs — reports conflict on the IP rating (IP54 versus IP68) and Bluetooth version (5.4 versus 6.0) — and CMF has not confirmed India launch timing, so buyers should verify final specs on retailer listings or from the company.
