If you're on a budget and prefer wireless convenience for activities like exercise or commuting, the Earfun Air Pro 2 might suit you better with their good noise isolation, wireless design, and sweatproof feature. On the other hand, if sound quality is paramount, especially for music and TV, and you don't mind a wired connection, the Sennheiser IE600 offers superior audio and build quality, but lacks wireless capabilities and active noise cancelling. Both are comfortable, but the Earfun is better for calls and has a battery life advantage for extended use on the go. 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."
"If you've got the bucks, the Sennheiser IE 600 is a nice, upscale set of in-ear monitors made of a lightweight metal with an unusual texture. It comes with a suite of extras, and performs well at virtually every task."
