If you prioritize battery life and use your headphones primarily for music and calls, the Earfun Wave Pro stands out with its superior battery life and excellent ratings for both music and call quality. However, if you're looking for active noise cancelling to reduce ambient noise during travel or at work, the Soundcore Space Q45 has this feature, along with app customization options for sound and controls that the Earfun lacks. Both are similar in price and provide very good overall sound quality, but the Earfun Wave Pro's low latency mode also makes it suitable for gaming and TV. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Riley Ballantyne | June 2023
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
