The CMF Speaker M Dark Grey is the low-key version of CMF’s 35 W two-driver speaker: a deep navy-grey body, black grilles and a single red Knob on top. CMF by Nothing builds it around a 70 mm woofer and a 16 mm tweeter, a USB-C port that doubles as a lossless audio input with under 60 ms latency, Bluetooth 6.0 and a Low Latency mode, which makes it as much a desk and gaming speaker as a portable one. Totot stocks the Dark Grey version in the UAE.

CMF Speaker M Dark Grey: a speaker for the desk
Laptop speakers are thin and small; the CMF Speaker M Dark Grey fixes that without a box of cables. Its tall 220 mm body stands on a footprint of 85 × 54 mm, so it fits beside a monitor or a laptop stand, and the woofer’s 25 W RMS plus the tweeter’s 10 W RMS give real bass and clear treble across 60 Hz to 20 kHz. Dual connection keeps a phone and a laptop paired together and switches between them automatically, so a call notification or a playlist on the phone does not mean re-pairing.
On the back, the power, Bluetooth and Auracast buttons sit next to the USB-C port. A short press of the Bluetooth button swaps between USB-C and Bluetooth audio when a cable is connected, which is handy when one device is wired and the other is not.
Why the CMF Speaker M Dark Grey suits dark setups, and who it suits
Dark Grey is the colour for people who want the sound and the milk-carton shape but not the attention. Next to a black keyboard, a grey laptop and a dark monitor it reads as part of the setup, and the red Knob is the one detail that tells you it is a CMF product. It also hides fingerprints, dust and travel scuffs far better than a white body, so it still looks tidy after months in a backpack.
The CMF Speaker M Dark Grey suits gamers and students who mostly listen at a desk, office workers who want a speaker that looks professional on a shared table, and men or women buying a gift for someone whose gear is all black. It is also the colour to choose if the speaker will travel in a suitcase or a car and pick up the usual knocks.
Latency: USB-C and Low Latency mode
Delay between picture and sound is what makes cheap Bluetooth speakers annoying for games and video. The CMF Speaker M Dark Grey answers it in two ways. Wired over USB-C, Nothing quotes lossless audio at under 60 ms latency. Over Bluetooth, Low Latency mode cuts delay by at least 80 ms: in Nothing’s lab, latency measured as low as 230 ms with AAC or 180 ms with SBC with the mode on, against about 350 ms (AAC) and 290 ms (SBC) with it off.
Nothing adds that heavy wireless interference can affect stability in Low Latency mode, so for competitive games the USB-C cable is the better choice, while Bluetooth with Low Latency on is fine for videos and casual play.
Two CMF Speaker M Dark Grey units in Stereo Mode
Put one CMF Speaker M Dark Grey on each side of a monitor and Stereo Mode turns them into a left and right pair with a wider soundstage. For films, Wide Soundstage on a single unit adds separation too. Away from the desk, the Auracast button starts Party Mode and links other compatible Auracast speakers to cover a bigger room.
The Nothing X app gives four presets, Balanced, More Bass, More Treble and Voice, plus Custom EQ; on a Nothing phone with Nothing OS 1.5.6 or later the same settings sit in the Bluetooth menu.
The rest, in brief
Battery: up to 18 hours of AAC playback in Nothing’s test (Balanced EQ, Ultra Bass on, 50% volume); about 3 hours to full with a 5V⎓3A adapter, and 10 minutes for up to 1 hour. IP68 protection, tested in fresh water up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes, a removable front panel, a built-in handle and a weight of 602 g complete the package.
Who This Is Not For
The CMF Speaker M Dark Grey is not a conference speaker: Nothing lists no microphone, so it will not handle calls or meetings. It is not a power bank either, since charging a phone from it is not mentioned. If you want a bright, playful colour for the beach, the Turquoise version suits that mood better. And plan for a USB-C cable and adapter, because the box holds only the speaker and a quick start guide.
