The Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds are a more budget-friendly choice and offer good noise isolation, wireless use, and are suitable for exercise due to their sweatproof design. On the other hand, the Sennheiser 560S headphones are generally more expensive but provide superior overall sound quality and a wider soundstage, which makes them excellent for immersive listening. They are also open-back and wired, which may limit portability and use in noisy environments, but enhance the listening experience for music and TV at home. If you need versatility and affordability, go for the Earfun; for top-notch sound and home use, consider the Sennheisers. 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."
"Sennheiser made a near perfect pair of studio monitors with the HD 560S. Flat bass response? Check. Neutral and uncolored midrange? Check. Extended treble with a bit of lower-treble emphasis to highlight mastering flaws? Check. Fairly easy to drive? Check. Good soundstage and imaging? Check, and check."
