If you're considering price as a major deciding factor, Earfun Air Pro 2 is less expensive and offers good value. They are compact, wireless, and convenient for on-the-go use with active noise cancellation. However, if you prioritize sound quality and are willing to invest in a premium auditory experience, Focal Elex might be the better choice. They provide exceptional audio fidelity, which is appreciated by audiophiles, but lack the portability and convenience features of wireless earbuds. Focal Elex headphones also do not have noise cancellation and require a dedicated amplifier to achieve their best performance. 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."
