If you prioritize noise-cancelling features for travel or noisy environments, the Earfun Air Pro 2 would be a better choice as they offer active noise cancelling, unlike the Skullcandy Dime. However, if cost is a major concern and you need something for casual listening without the noise-cancelling feature, the more affordable Skullcandy Dime could suffice. The Earfun also provides slightly better overall sound quality, which you might appreciate if you're particular about audio fidelity. Both are suitable for exercise being sweatproof, but if you intend to use them for long sessions, consider that the Earfun offers a longer battery life. Give Feedback

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."
