If budget is a concern and you're looking for better value, the Earfun Wave Pro might be the better choice as they are much less expensive. For active users or those seeking portability and a lighter option, the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7 earbuds are more suitable with their lower weight and suitability for exercise. However, if you prefer wearing headphones for long periods and you want an option with a longer battery life, the Earfun Wave Pro offers both comfort and an 80-hour battery life, which is substantially more than the 6.5 hours of the Audio Technica ATH-TWX7. The Earfun Wave Pro also comes with a detachable cable, making them versatile for wired use, while the ATH-TWX7 is strictly wireless. If you are in noisy environments or travel frequently, both offer very good noise isolation, but the stem design of ATH-TWX7 might make it more compact for travel. Lastly, both support LDAC and have a low latency mode, but the ATH-TWX7 is optimized for both Android and Apple devices, offering a slightly broader compatibility. Give Feedback

Billy Steele | January 2024
"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."
