CMF Speaker M and S launched customisable speaker design with IP68

CMF Speaker M and S launched with customisable panels, Bluetooth 6.0 and up to 18 hours of playback. The Speaker M comes with more powerful sound output, while the Speaker S is aimed at buyers who want a portable speaker for daily music listening without spending as much.

CMF Speaker M and S launched with customisable speaker designs and IP68-rated protection, making them worth a look for buyers who want durable portable speakers. Both models offer a different mix of features and pricing, giving users more flexibility when choosing a speaker for everyday use.

That split matters because the launch is not just about two new Bluetooth speakers. It is also about CMF’s approach to hardware design, with IP68 protection, USB-C audio, NFC tap-to-pair and hardware customisation built into the package from the start.

CMF Speaker M features a 35W setup; Speaker S stays smaller and cheaper

The Speaker M is the more powerful option in the CMF lineup, with a woofer-and-tweeter setup rated at 35W RMS. It also has a frequency range of 60Hz to 20kHz. With the CMF Speaker M and S launched, buyers can compare the two models based on sound output, features and price.

Speaker S goes in the opposite direction. It uses a 45mm driver and two passive radiators, and its output tops out at 10W RMS. That makes it the lower-cost, lower-power option in the pair, which is important for buyers comparing compact Bluetooth speakers and trying to decide whether size or sound output matters more.

The difference between the two models is fairly direct. Speaker M is built for fuller sound and a more capable setup, while Speaker S keeps the formula smaller and cheaper. CMF is clearly separating the products instead of positioning them as near-identical alternatives.

• Speaker M: 35W RMS with a woofer-and-tweeter layout.
• Speaker M frequency range: 60Hz to 20kHz.
• Speaker S: 45mm driver with two passive radiators.
• Speaker S output: 10W RMS.

IP68 portable speaker with USB-C audio, Auracast and 3D-printable parts

Both speakers share the same core feature set, and that is where the launch gets more interesting. CMF has given both models IP68 protection, which is not always common in portable audio at this level. For buyers who want a speaker that can handle tougher conditions, that detail will stand out quickly.

The company has also added NFC tap-to-pair, dual-device Bluetooth and Bluetooth 6.0 support. USB-C audio with low latency is part of the package too, which makes the speakers more flexible than basic wireless-only models. Those features matter in day-to-day use, especially if the speaker is going to be switched between phones, laptops or other devices.

Party Mode is another notable part of the spec sheet. It uses Auracast for multi-speaker playback, which gives the lineup a more social, shared-audio angle. For people comparing portable speakers across brands, this kind of support can be a deciding factor even before the sound tuning comes into play.

CMF is also pushing the design side harder than most compact speaker brands. Users can swap the panels and knobs, and the company goes a step further by offering 3D-printable replacement parts. That makes the launch feel more modular than usual, although the exact appeal will depend on how much buyers value customisation in a speaker they plan to carry around.

• Both models carry IP68 protection.
• Both support NFC tap-to-pair and dual-device Bluetooth.
• USB-C audio is included with low latency.
• Party Mode uses Auracast for multi-speaker playback.
• Users can swap panels and knobs, with 3D-printable replacements also supported.

For CMF, the launch is a straightforward but important step. Speaker M and Speaker S are built for different budgets, but they share the same focus on portability, hardware flexibility and practical features. That combination should make the lineup easy to compare for shoppers who want compact Bluetooth speakers without giving up durability or basic modern connectivity.
