Thanks for your testing. Is cmf buds 2 pro have higher bass than anker soundcore p40i at max volume? cmf buds 2 pro ultrabass works well in lower volume but when you reach near max volume ultrabass no longer works. Is anker p40i have same Behavior for bass boost preset equalizer? Because in your frequency response graph p40i have 15db emphasis on bass boost mode but cmf ultrabass is 10db emphasis so is it mean cmf buds 2 pro have weaker bass compare to anker p40i? every review I watch said cmf buds 2 pro is bassiest and loudest buds under 100 bucks but your FR charts show otherwise. So which one is better for bass heads and retain powerful bass till max volume? And other question is p40i gaming mode retain sound quality like normal mode?

Hey, We don’t typically measure headphones at max volume for a few reasons. Max volume isn’t the same loudness between different pairs of headphones, so it’s not a comparable metric (except to explain how loud the headphones can get under our testing conditions). Most people don’t listen at max volume either because it’s not healthy for prolonged periods. So, if I understand part of your question correctly, are you asking if the Ultra Bass setting is less bassy as you increase volume? As far as I know, the Ultra Bass frequency response doesn’t change with volume, but our brains perceive audio frequencies differently depending on the loudness (this is how equal loudness contour works), and it’s the basis for adaptive EQ on headphones that have it. I don’t think Ultra Bass is an adaptive EQ, though.

As for whether the Anker Soundcore P40i are bassier than the CMF Buds Pro 2, the answer depends on your preferences to a degree and how sensitive your ears are to treble. The Ankers have a much more excited V-shaped frequency response, so while there’s a boosted bass, there’s also a brighter and sharper treble, which some people like, while other people perceive that as distractingly sharp. The CMF have a de-emphasized treble response alongside boosted bass, which means vocal and cymbal harmonics tend to sound warmer/duller, and this can make the bass seem deeper. For these reasons, I suggest you consider the raw frequency responses as a whole and keep in mind that the way our brains process audio is that the loudest sounds cut through the most, but it’s about balancing scales. I’d think the CMF are probably what you’re looking for, but then again, you can use EQ with either and expect to find very bassy settings.

The Anker only uses the SBC and AAC codecs, which transmit audio at a lower fidelity than LDAC, which the CMF can use, but your device needs to be able to support LDAC to take advantage of the higher resolution. So if you use an Apple phone, for example, both pairs of earbuds have basically the same audio compression. We didn’t notice a difference with ‘Game’ mode on the Anker’s audio quality. Hope that helps.

Also can you please show FR change of spatial audio on vs off for cmf buds 2 pro?

Unfortunately, this isn’t something we can do at this time. We have a large testing/retesting queue right now, so we’re just not sure if/when we’d be able to get to it. Sorry about that!
