If you prioritize long battery life and better call and meeting quality, the Earfun Wave Pro headphones would be suitable, especially for air travel and TV use thanks to its active noise cancelling feature. However, they are heavier and may not be as suitable for exercise. In contrast, the Soundcore P20i earbuds are lighter and more portable for exercise, optimized for both Android and Apple devices, and offer basic dust and water resistance, making them a budget-friendly choice for general use. Make your choice based on whether call quality and noise cancellation or affordability and exercise suitability are more important to you. Give Feedback
