If you prioritize portable and discreet listening devices, the Earfun Air Pro 2 earbuds might be preferable due to their smaller size and stem design, plus they're sweatproof which makes them suitable for exercise. Conversely, if you're seeking better overall sound quality and more effective noise isolation, particularly during air travel, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC headphones, being over-ear, may serve you better at the expense of being larger and less convenient to carry. Both have integrated microphones and active noise cancelling, but the Skullcandy offers a slightly better microphone quality. While the Earfun Air Pro 2 is likely the more budget-friendly option, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC might justify the higher price with its superior sound quality and comfort for extended usage.

"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."
"Skullcandy’s Hesh ANC are compact, wireless over-ears for everyday use that are tuned for bass and designed to suppress or amplify ambient noise as required. In addition to Bluetooth 5.0, optional tracking via the Tile app is supported so that these headphones can be found if they get lost."
