If you value wireless convenience, the Earfun Wave Pro offers both wired and wireless capabilities with a substantial 80-hour battery life, active noise cancelling for focused listening, and a comfortable over-ear design suitable for long music sessions, air travel, and TV or video enjoyment. They also feature low latency mode, making them versatile for gaming too. Alternatively, Sennheiser CX300S earbuds, being more budget-friendly and optimized for on-the-go use due to their small size and good noise isolation, would be a solid choice if you prefer a compact, wired solution, need something lightweight at 12 grams for travel or commuting, and do not require features like active noise cancelling or wireless operation.

Carroll Moore | April 2019
"Sennheiser offers impressive bang for your buck when it comes to the CX 300S. Built like a tank and sounding surprisingly good for such a budget-minded earphone, the CX 300S out-classes many of its would-be competitors. Functional but beautiful, it’s the perfect in-ear listening solution for anyone who wants to hear everything and look good doing it."
