Choose the Beats Studiobuds if portability and use during exercise are priority for you, as they are lightweight earbuds suitable for an active lifestyle and are sweatproof. However, their sound experience may not be as immersive for activities such as TV and gaming due to poor performance in those areas. On the other hand, the Earfun Wave Pro headphones offer better suitability for calls and meetings, with excellent mic quality, and have a virtual surround feature enhancing TV and gaming experiences. They also support a low latency mode and LDAC codec, which could improve wireless sound quality, but are less portable and not as exercise-friendly. Both have active noise cancelling and similar pricing, but the Earfun Wave Pro headphones offer a significantly longer battery life, which could be a decisive factor for extended use without frequent recharging. However, they are heavier, which might be less comfortable for long durations. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Chase Bernath | May 2023
"For less than the price of the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds delivers a good fit, great sound, and active noise cancellation. This is also the first set of Apple-owned Beats earbuds to feature quick pairing with Android devices, albeit at the expense of some key features for Apple users."
