The Earfun Wave Pro offers better overall sound quality, active noise cancelling, and better battery life, making them suitable for calls, meetings, and music enthusiasts. They also have a detachable cable, and support LDAC codec for high-quality audio over Bluetooth, which is advantageous if your devices support this feature. On the other hand, the Shokz OpenMove has a bone conduction design that allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, making them safer for outdoor activities. They are also sweatproof, dustproof, and significantly lighter, which may be of importance if you're active or need a more secure fit during exercise. However, they have a lower sound quality and no noise isolating capability, making them less ideal for immersive listening or noisy environments. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Lily Katz | May 2023
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
