Choose the Earfun Air Pro 2 if active noise cancelling is a must for you or you travel frequently, as they are better suited for noise isolation and have a higher air travel score. However, if you prioritize sound quality, especially for calls, meetings, and watching videos, and you don't mind an open design with less noise isolation, the "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick could be a better fit. They also offer features like a low latency mode for gaming, are sweatproof and dustproof, and have a stronger build quality, making them more versatile for different activities. The Earfun offers slightly longer battery life, but both have wireless charging capabilities. 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 | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
