If prioritizing battery life and comfort while using headphones for a variety of activities, including air travel and watching TV, the Earfun Wave Pro is a solid choice as they have a long battery life and are rated excellent for air travel and TV usage. They also have a foldable design and come with ear hooks for a secure fit. However, if you need something more portable, sweatproof, and dustproof for on-the-go use, especially during exercise, and you prefer earbuds, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) will suit you better. They offer good sound quality and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices, and support wireless charging, which the Earfun Wave Pro lacks. Assess your primary use case—whether it's for workouts or casual listening—because the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) might justify the higher price with their added durability and portability features.

Jasper Lastoria | March 2023
"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
