If you frequently engage in calls or gaming, the Antlion Kimura Duo, despite being more expensive, offers excellent mic and gaming scores. However, if you prioritize a great experience for music, calls, and TV, while seeking value for money, the Earfun Wave Pro is a strong contender with a long battery life and very good overall sound quality. The Wave Pro also offers active noise cancelling and is suitable for air travel, which the Kimura Duo lacks. Choose the Kimura Duo for wired, high-quality mic communications, or the Wave Pro for versatile, wireless listening with noise cancellation. Give Feedback
