If you prioritize call quality and a long battery life, the Earfun Wave Pro is excellent and also offers strong performance for music, TV, and gaming, along with active noise cancelling for better sound isolation. However, they are the pricier option and are bulkier, reducing portability. In contrast, Skullcandy Dime earbuds are budget-friendly, highly portable, and good for music and air travel but offer lower sound quality, especially in gaming and TV watching, with no noise cancelling. Their battery life is also shorter, and they lack low-latency features for gaming but are sweatproof, making them suitable for exercise. Give Feedback
