If you're on a budget and primarily game or engage in voice calls, the Steelseries TUSQ, with its dedicated microphone, might be the practical choice. However, if you're looking for a more versatile pair of earbuds with superior noise cancellation for commuting or use in noisy environments, the Earfun Air Pro 2 would be worth the extra cost. Keep in mind that true wireless earbuds like Earfun Air Pro 2 could offer you more freedom of movement compared to the in-ear gaming oriented Steelseries TUSQ, which may be more tethered.

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."

Aloysius Low | March 2021
"The SteelSeries Arctis Tusq is a great headset for those on a more modest budget. You can use it for gaming or music, and I daresay it's also great for Zoom meetings when you don't want to be wearing on-ear or over-ear headphones."
