The Earfun Air Pro 2 offers active noise cancelling, wireless connectivity with a long battery life, and is suitable for exercise with sweatproof certification, making them a good choice for active users who need isolation from ambient noise. On the other hand, the Moondrop Chu, with a better overall sound quality and superior mic quality, might be preferred for calls, meetings, and music enjoyment. They are also wired, which eliminates battery concerns but limits mobility and exercise usability. If the cost is a concern and you don't need wireless or noise-cancelling features, the Moondrop Chu offers better value for static activities like listening to music or online meetings. 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."

Sound Guys
Jasper Lastoria | September 2022
"These budget buds put the pressure on those premium priced in-ear monitors to really justify the cost disparity. Offering excellent sound quality at any price, the Moondrop Chu is both a perfect entry into the audio enthusiast hobby, and an all around good pick for music fans."
