The Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds are typically less expensive and offer active noise cancellation for an isolated listening experience, which is beneficial when in noisy environments. They're also more portable and discreet. In contrast, the Marshall Major IV headphones have a more substantial build with larger drivers, resulting in potentially richer sound quality and deeper bass, and they tend to have better battery life, but are bulkier, making them less convenient for travel. If you're on a budget and value noise cancellation and portability, go for the Earfun Air Pro 2. If sound quality and battery life are more important and you don't mind spending a bit more, consider the Marshall Major IV. 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."

Jasper Lastoria | September 2023
"The Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
