The Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds are much more affordable and offer active noise cancellation with a compact stem design, but lack the sound quality and build of the more expensive Focal Bathys. The Focal Bathys headphones offer superior sound quality and noise isolation with an over-ear design, a premium build, and additional features such as Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive support, but they require charging even when used in wired mode. If cost is a major factor and you want something lightweight and portable, go for the Earfun. For top-tier audio fidelity and over-ear comfort, choose the Focal Bathys, if the price is within your budget. Give Feedback

Headphone Addict
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."

"As much as I hesitate to recommend a headphone that sells for $800 USD, if you’re looking for the best sound quality you can find in the ANC space: it’s the Focal Bathys."
