If budget is a key concern and you need great value, the Earfun Air Pro 2 offers good sound quality at a lower cost. However, if ultimate sound fidelity and an expansive soundstage are what you seek, and you're willing to invest more, the HifiMan Arya Stealth is an excellent choice. Note that the Arya Stealth is an over-ear, open-back headphone, ideal for home listening in a quiet environment for the most detailed audio experience, whereas the Earfun Air Pro 2 is an in-ear, noise-cancelling option better suited for commuting or office work. Keep in mind, the Arya Stealth might not be as portable or as versatile for casual, everyday use as the Earfun Air Pro 2. 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."

"The Arya can easily be end-game headphones for 99% of consumers, satisfying most audio desires. Priced well above USD$1000, the Arya are obviously and gloriously not for the mass market consumer; they are designed and built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – especially those who view their expenses on this level of gear as investments."
