The Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds, being significantly less expensive compared to the HifiMan Sundara headphones, are a great choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that offers active noise cancelling and is sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise and calls. They are also more portable, offer wireless charging, and have a longer battery life which is ideal for travel. However, the HifiMan Sundara, with its open-back design, delivers superior sound quality, better soundstage, and higher comfort, albeit at a premium price point. These headphones excel in music and TV/video experiences due to their high-quality audio reproduction but lack the convenience features such as noise cancellation and wireless connectivity, and are not suited for exercise or outdoor usage.

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."
