If price is a major consideration and you're looking to save money, the Earfun Wave Pro could be the better choice. The Earfun Wave Pro excels in calls, meetings, and listening to music, with a very long battery life, which is ideal if you're on the go often. However, it doesn't have active noise canceling (ANC), which the Sennheiser 450BT does, making the latter better for noise isolation. The Sennheiser 450BT also supports AptX Low Latency, which may be better for watching TV or gaming, and has app customizations for sound. If you're looking for headphones with a more balanced set of features including ANC, the ability to tailor sound through an app, and better suitability for varied content, the Sennheiser 450BT could be worth the extra cost.

"The Sennheiser HD 450BT is a very good pair of headphones for the price, noise canceling is good and sound quality is great—quite rare at this price point. Like any product, this headset isn’t without its faults."
