If cost is a major concern, the Earfun Wave Pro offers a lower midrange price with very good overall sound quality, active noise cancelling, and a significant battery advantage for extended listening. However, if you are looking for optimal soundstage and customization through an app equalizer, and don't mind spending more, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus provides a step up with premium features like AptX Adaptive codec for better sound quality, app controls, and optimized performance for both Android and Apple devices. Both options are closed-back, over-ear headphones with very good build quality, but the Sennheiser has a slight edge in comfort and built-in controls. If you plan to use them in environments where call quality is important, both are excellent, yet if you're into gaming or TV, Sennheiser's low latency mode may provide a smoother experience. For frequent travelers, both offer very good noise isolation with active noise cancellation, but the longer battery life of the Earfun might be more convenient. Give Feedback
