The Apple AirPods Pro 2 offer better overall sound quality, comfort, and built-in controls, and they're optimized for Apple devices with features like ear detection and a proprietary low latency mode, making them suitable for a range of activities including gaming and calls. They're also more suited for air travel with better noise cancellation. However, they're pricier. The Earfun Air Pro 2, while more affordable, lacks the optimization for Apple products, has no ear detection, and offers lesser sound quality and mic performance. They might not be as effective for noise-sensitive activities but are still a competent choice for general use, exercise, and casual listening with good portability and dust resistance. Give Feedback

"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."
"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."
