If you prioritize portability and use during exercise, the Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2 earbuds, being smaller and sweatproof, would be suitable. However, if you're looking for longer battery life and cost-effectiveness, the Earfun Wave Pro headphones, with their over-ear design and 80-hour battery life, are a great pick. The Earfun also offers excellent call quality and is better suited for watching TV and gaming due to its very good performance in those areas and low latency mode. Both options provide very good sound quality, but the Aurvana Ace 2 has an edge in music listening with better soundstage. If active noise cancelling and a high-quality build are important for you, the Aurvana Ace 2 stands out, whereas the Earfun Wave Pro is superior for calls and meetings and doesn't skimp on build quality. Both have customizable app controls, but consider that only the Aurvana Ace 2 supports wireless charging, which could add to its convenience. Give Feedback
