If portability and convenience are top priorities, the Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds would suit you better since earbuds are generally more portable than headphones like the JBL Quantum 100. The Earfun comes with active noise cancelling which is a big plus if you're looking to use them in noisy environments, whereas the JBL doesn't have noise cancelling but offers a boom microphone which could be better for clear voice calls or gaming. If you're seeking better sound isolation and potentially a more immersive experience, the over-ear JBL Quantum 100 might be preferable, and they are also more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that the JBL could be more comfortable for longer listening sessions due to their over-ear design, yet they are less convenient to carry around. 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."

CNN Underscored
Wes Davis | July 2023
"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
