The Earfun Air Pro 2 offers high-quality noise isolation and is rated well for air travel, suggesting a good performance in noisy environments. However, they may not be the best choice for gaming or TV due to lower scores in those areas. The JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless, while less expensive, offers better microphone quality and higher scores for calls and meetings, as well as gaming and book/podcast listening. It lacks noise cancelling but is optimized for both Android and Apple devices and supports app controls customization, which the Earfun does not. Give Feedback

How the Earfun Air Pro 2 and the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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 Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
