The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ earbuds offer a premium listening experience with higher sound quality and effective noise cancellation, making them suitable for critical listening and use in noisy environments. However, these come with a higher price tag. On the other hand, the Earfun Air Pro 2 delivers decent audio performance and also includes noise cancellation at a much lower cost, offering good value for money. They may be more appropriate if you're price-sensitive and need earbuds for casual listening or everyday use. Neither option has latency suitable for gaming or TV, so both are mainly for music and calls. Give Feedback

"Bang & Olufsen’s audio products prioritize style and function just as much as sound quality. The company’s latest Beoplay EQ noise-cancelling true wireless earphones combine strong, accurate-leaning audio with solid noise cancellation in an exceedingly classy design."

"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."
