If portability and the convenience of stem-style earbuds appeal to you, the Earfun Air Pro 2 may be the better choice; they're very good for noise isolation and are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise and travel. However, they have lower overall performance on calls and music quality, and they're not the best choice for gaming or TV due to poor scores in those areas. The JLab Jbuds Lux ANC headphones might be a tad pricier, but offer excellent noise isolation, long battery life, and a comfortable over-ear design. They're also equipped with active noise cancelling, which can be a significant advantage for air travel and noisy environments. On the downside, their sound quality for music, and particularly for calls and meeting performance, is fair to poor, and they may not be optimized for use during exercise. Both options have good build quality and very good built-in controls, but if you prioritize call quality and are interested in earbuds optimized for both Android and Apple devices, you might lean towards the Earfun Air Pro 2. However, for long listening sessions and better noise cancellation, JLab's over-ear design could be more appropriate. 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."
