The Bose 700 headphones are typically more expensive but offer noise canceling, a more immersive listening experience with over-ear design, and better call quality due to an integrated microphone with superior noise reduction. They're suitable for a wide range of content, including music, calls, and watching TV, but they may be bulkier to carry around. On the other hand, the Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds are much less expensive and offer good sound quality with noise canceling, they're more compact and portable, include a charging case that provides extra battery life, but might not match the Bose in terms of overall sound immersion and microphone quality. If budget is a concern and portability is key, Earfun Air Pro 2 could be your choice, but for top-notch sound and call quality in a variety of settings, the Bose 700 might be worth the investment.

Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

"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."
