If top-tier call quality, low latency for gaming, and active noise cancelling are important to you, and you don't mind spending more, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 would be the better choice. However, if budget is a concern and you are looking for earbuds with sweatproof certification for exercise and wireless charging convenience, the Earfun Air Pro 2 could serve your needs at a lower cost. Keep in mind, the Earfun Air Pro 2 has lower sound, build, and mic quality than the Audio Technica, which might affect your experience during extensive usage like music listening or during calls and meetings.

"There’s plenty to like about the ATH-TWX7. A robust set of features brings a lot of convenience to your day. But a few of those tools could still use some fine-tuning and the lack of automatic pausing in 2024 is a head scratcher. Still, the audio is mostly good, and transparency mode is better than most. Add in the solid call quality and the in-app voice test and the ATH-TWX7 are a worthy consideration, especially at this price. Too bad it falls short of being a more complete package some of the competition offers for a slightly larger investment."
"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."
