If you're primarily focused on music and portability, the Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds could be your choice, as they are wireless, more suitable for exercise, and offer active noise cancelling for better isolation. However, if you don't mind a wired connection and prioritize gaming, TV, or call quality, then the larger over-ear HyperX Cloud II headphones would serve you better. They also have a more immersive soundstage, which is excellent for gaming and movies, and their build quality is sturdy. The HyperX Cloud II boasts a boom microphone, which generally provides superior voice clarity over the integrated mic found on the Earfun Air Pro 2. Keep in mind that active noise cancelling is not a feature of the HyperX Cloud II, and they are less portable due to their size. Give Feedback

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."
