If affordability is a priority, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS presents a budget-friendly option, while the Earfun Wave Pro is priced in the lower midrange and will cost more. If you need wireless capability for convenience, Earfun Wave Pro includes both wireless and wired options, whereas the Aurvana Trio LS only offers a wired connection. For immersive listening, Earfun Wave Pro has very good overall sound quality and active noise canceling, making it suitable for focused music sessions and air travel, but if you're looking for something lightweight for simple daily use and don't mind noise from your environment, the Aurvana Trio LS will suffice. Earfun Wave Pro also boasts a longer battery life, which is crucial if you need headphones for extended periods without charging. However, if you require something small and portable, Aurvana Trio LS with its earbuds form factor may be the more convenient choice. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
