Tom's Guide Verdict

As the brand’s first portable speaker, the CMF Speaker M is an impressive gadget. It looks gorgeous and fun, thanks to its milk carton-inspired design, and it’s IP68 waterproof — perfect for the beach. For the most part, the speaker sounds great, though it struggles with heavy tracks. The user-friendly companion app enables easy and quick customization, too. However, the so-so battery life and price may be hard pills to swallow.
