If you value top-notch build quality and premium features like active noise cancelling, the Bowers and Wilkins PI7 may be worth the higher cost, and they offer better microphone quality which is good for calls. However, the Earfun Air Pro 2 offers longer battery life, which could be essential if you're often on the go. Both support AAC codec for better sound on Apple devices, but if you're using Android, the PI7's additional aptX Adaptive and low latency support could mean better sound quality and syncing for videos and games.

"The primary selling point of the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 is the charging case that can transmit audio from any analog source to the earbuds. If you have a very specific and clear need for that feature, then the Bowers & Wilkins PI7 is for you."

"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."
