The Earfun Wave Pro offers wireless connectivity, active noise cancelling, and a low latency mode which could be advantageous if you prefer the convenience of wireless listening and need to reduce background noise during use, especially while traveling. They're also foldable making them easier to transport and come with a longer battery life, but they may be pricier. On the other hand, Turtle Beach Recon 70, while more budget-friendly and with a reputation for excellent mic quality, lacks wireless capabilities and noise cancelling. If you prioritize gaming or calls, Turtle Beach might serve you better, particularly due to their renowned mic quality; however, they aren't suitable for noisy environments or as versatile as the Earfun for wireless convenience and active noise cancellation.

Sound Guys
Sam Moore | September 2022
"There aren’t many considerations to make here. The Turtle Beach Recon 70 sounds decent, offers solid chat audio, feels good to wear over long periods, and it works everywhere. If you’re in the market for a simple plug-and-play option, you could do a whole lot worse (and spend a whole lot more money). Regardless, if getting something cheap that works well is the only thing you care about, this is a great option."
