If you prioritize noise isolation and often travel by air, the Earfun Air Pro 2 would be a better fit due to its superior noise isolation and active noise cancelling capabilities, which are particularly beneficial during flights. The Earfun also has a longer battery life and supports wireless charging, adding to the convenience for users on the go. On the flip side, if you want app customization options like EQ settings, prioritize Android compatibility, and are looking to save money, the Moondrop Nekocake may be more suitable. However, the Nekocake lacks active noise cancelling, has a shorter battery life, and doesn't offer wireless charging. 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."
"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
