If you value a more immersive experience for music and need effective noise isolation, the Earfun Air Pro 2 would be the better choice, as they offer very good noise isolation and sound quality suitable for casual listening. However, they are not the best for TV and gaming due to poorer performance in those areas. On the other hand, the JBL Tune Buds may be a better fit if you're looking for a larger earbud with an Android and Apple optimized experience, better battery life, and wireless charging, at a slightly lesser price. Neither option is particularly strong for calls, meetings, or gaming. If you exercise often or use earbuds during air travel, both are sweatproof certified and have very good scores for use during exercise and air travel. Give Feedback

"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."
"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
