The Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds are recommended if you prefer something lightweight and discreet, with good noise isolation for travel, and if you need wireless charging. They also have a slight edge in sound quality. On the other hand, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless offers the over-ear comfort of headphones, a significantly longer battery life, and a boom microphone, which is great for calls and meetings. These headphones are more suitable for extended wear and professional environments but are bulkier and less portable than the Earfun earbuds. Choose based on your priority: portability and noise isolation with the Earfun or comfort and call quality with the JLab. Give Feedback

Headphone Addict
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."

PC Magazine
Tim Gideon | February 2022
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
