Choosing between the Creative Labs Zen Air and the Earfun Air Pro 2, consider the following: The Zen Air has excellent build quality and very good noise isolation, which are great for air travel and noisy environments, but their sound quality and battery life are only fair for activities like music and gaming. The Earfun Air Pro 2, while more expensive, provides better overall sound quality, smaller earbud size for potentially better fit, and an extended battery life, which is beneficial for long listening sessions. However, their build quality is not rated as high as the Zen Air. Both offer good noise isolation with active noise canceling and are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. If budget is a concern and you prioritize build quality and noise isolation over sound quality and battery life, go with the Zen Air. If you can spend more, and you value sound quality and longer battery life for extended use, the Earfun Air Pro 2 could be the better choice. Give Feedback

Headphone Check
Maike Paeßens | February 2023
"The Creative Zen Air’s weak points are its low battery life and rather short Bluetooth range. On the other hand, the strengths of these weatherproof True Wireless in-Ears are the sound and the wide attenuation of the Active Noise Cancellation. Considering the price range, the speech intelligibility during calls is also exceptionally good."

Peter Susic | September 2021
"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."
