If audio quality is paramount to you, go for the Beats Powerbeats Pro; they have slightly better overall sound quality and a superior build, along with integrated ear hooks making them great for exercise. However, if you're budget-conscious, the Earfun Air Pro 2 offer almost comparable sound, better noise isolation, and come with wireless charging, which the Beats lack. The Earfun Air Pro 2 are also lighter and more compact for portability. Keep in mind that both share similar battery life, but the Beats have higher-quality mic performance for calls, despite a higher price point. Overall, the choice depends on how much you value sound and build quality over features and price. Give Feedback

"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."
"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."
