If price is a major concern and you're looking for headphones that offer great sound quality for music and calls, Earfun Wave Pro may suit your needs, being less expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. They're also suitable for TV and gaming due to the low latency mode. However, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro provides better optimization for Android and Apple devices along with features like wireless charging and active noise cancelling, which the Earfun lacks. If portability and noise isolation are priorities, the smaller and more travel-friendly Galaxy Buds 2 Pro might be the better choice despite the higher price. Give Feedback
