The Earfun Wave Pro headphones offer very good overall sound quality, active noise cancelling, and a long battery life which makes them suitable for immersive music experiences, frequent calls and meetings, and air travel. They also feature a detachable cable, wireless option with low latency, and foldable design for portability. However, they are bulkier and might not be as convenient for exercise or outdoor activities. On the other hand, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless earbuds are more budget-friendly, sweatproof, and dustproof, making them better suited for exercise and use during outdoor activities due to their smaller size and secure fit. They provide good sound quality and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices, but lack active noise cancelling and have a shorter battery life, which might be limiting for extended use like long flights or throughout the workday. Your choice should depend on your primary use case: immersive listening and versatility with the Earfun or affordability and exercise suitability with the JBL Vibe Beam. Give Feedback

"The Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
