The Earfun Air Pro 2 stands out for better soundstage, which can make music and media sound more immersive, and it has good microphone quality and noise isolation, suitable for calls and general use, including listening to music and podcasts. However, it has lower scores for gaming and TV, indicating higher latency not ideal for those activities. The Soundcore Life P3, on the other hand, offers a superior app with equalizer settings and sound customization, better battery life, and comes with a slightly higher overall call and meeting score. It's particularly good for exercise due to higher durability and sweatproof certification, but the lower soundstage score might affect the immersion experience compared to the Earfun Air Pro 2.

"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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
