If you're on a budget, the JBL Tune Flex might be the better option as they are usually less expensive and also offer very good overall sound quality and a low latency mode, which is great for gaming and video. However, they only provide fair noise isolation. The Earfun Air Pro 2, while slightly more expensive, has very good noise isolation and is sweatproof, making them more suitable for exercise. They also have a longer battery life with wireless charging and are better for air travel due to their active noise cancelling feature. For calls and music, both earbuds are fairly adequate, but if you need to wear them for long periods, consider comfort, in which both are rated as good. 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 is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
