The Earfun Air Pro 2 are earbuds that are significantly less expensive and offer a good balance for calls and music, their compact size and sweatproof design make them convenient for exercise. They also support wireless charging and are quite comfortable. However, if you prioritize higher overall sound quality, superior noise isolation, and a longer battery life for extended usage, along with features like active noise cancelling, app equalizer, app controls customization, and a luxe design, then the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, despite being more expensive, may be a better fit especially for air travel and work environments. They also provide an immersive experience for music and TV with better microphone quality but are a heavier and larger option. 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."

"The Sony WH-1000XM5 are the best Sony Bluetooth headphones so far and one of the most well-rounded Bluetooth headphones around. Look no further if you need class-leading ANC with a mostly inoffensive sound signature. Just be ready to pony up the price premium."
