If you prioritize a wireless experience with good noise isolation and the convenience of a charging case, choose Earfun Air Pro 2; these earbuds are also sweatproof, making them better for exercise. They have better build quality and built-in controls for ease of use. However, if budget is a concern, JBL 510BT headphones offer a much longer battery life and are foldable for portability, but they lack active noise cancelling and are not sweatproof. The Earfun Air Pro 2 may not be ideal for gaming and TV due to their poor scores in these areas, while JBL 510BT provides a fair experience for listening to music and overall sound quality.

"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 JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."
