The Earfun Wave Pro offers very good overall sound quality and excellent call quality, making them a strong choice if you use your headphones for frequent phone calls. They also have a long battery life and are well-suited for air travel due to their great noise isolation and comfort. Their low latency mode is beneficial for gaming and watching videos. However, they lack active noise cancelling, which the Skullcandy Hesh ANC provides—this feature is valuable for reducing ambient noise, particularly in noisy environments like public transport. The Skullcandy Hesh ANC has better durability and built-in controls, and while they have lesser call and music performance compared to the Earfun Wave Pro, they could be more suitable if active noise cancelling and sturdier build are high priorities for you. Both support a detachable cable and wireless use, so consider if your preference aligns more with long battery life and call quality or the need for active noise cancelling and a more durable design.
