If you're seeking earbuds with higher overall sound quality and better noise isolation for busy environments like air travel, the Apple Airpods Pro would be a better fit, also offering features such as ear/head detection and support for spatial audio, but at a higher price. The Airpods Pro excel especially in portability due to their smaller size and wireless charging case. Meanwhile, the Earfun Air Pro 2, while having slightly better built-in controls and being less expensive, do not offer the same level of noise cancellation, portability, or app-based features, making them more suited for less demanding audio environments and more budget-conscious users.

"For just $50 USD more than the original model with the wireless charging case, this is definitely the pair of buds to get. The AirPods Pro (1st generation) sounds better than the originals and has a way better fit and active noise canceling to boot. If you have an iOS device, just get this."
"There’s a lot to like about EarFun Air Pro 2. The best thing about them is the active noise cancellation, which works almost as well as the best true wireless earbuds out there. The audio quality is funky but enjoyable. Good dynamics and a wider soundstage save its presentation. Everyone, apart from the most diehard audiophiles, should be happy with it."
