I was a fan of Earfun's earlier Free Pro earbuds, which offer good sound for around $50 and have little sport fins that help keep them in your ears securely. That's only OK, but you do get an additional two charges in the charging case. These budget wireless earbuds have an IP54 rating, which means they're splash- and dust-proof, and battery life is rated at four hours with noise canceling on and five hours with it off (at moderate volume levels). You can also set the level of touch sensitivity. They fit my ears well - they're essentially AirPods Pro clones - and while the earphone touch controls are a little limited, they are programmable using the Edifier Connect app for iOS and Android. They have three microphones in each bud for noise canceling and noise reduction during calls. While the TWS 330NB buds are missing a sensor that automatically pauses your music when you take them out of your ears, this true wireless earbud features very good sound quality for the money, decent active noise canceling with a transparency mode, and solid voice calling. Also, the Earfun Air Pro 2 buds sound better, with richer, more dynamic sound.Įdifier has a few different new true-wireless earbuds and most, including the TWS 330NB, are very good true wireless earphone values. However, while the Soundpeats T3 are better for calls, the Earfun Air Pro 2's noise-canceling and transparency modes are superior and the Soundpeats don't have the ear-detection sensor.
Alas, there's no companion app that allows you to tweak the sound or upgrade the firmware.Įarfun talks up the Air Pro 2's voice calling capabilities - the buds have three microphones in each earbud - and I thought call performance was good but these didn't reduce background noise as much the new Soundpeats T3, which are also good for the money ( $36). It actually sounds pretty natural and is closer than I thought it would to the AirPods Pro's excellent transparency mode. There's also a transparency mode that lets ambient sound in.
Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, they're splash-proof with an IPX5 rating and offer up to seven hours of battery life on a single charge at moderate volume levels, though you'll probably get closer to six hours with noise canceling on.
The earbuds have some extra features, like an ear-detection sensor (your music pauses when you take the buds out of your ears) and a case that has USB-C and wireless charging, that you don't often find at this price. They do sound better than the original Air Pro. Some of Earfun's buds have had a bit too much treble push - sometimes referred to as "presence boost" - but these mostly manage to avoid that. The Earfun Air Pro 2 not only feature solid active noise cancellation but their sound is also impressive for their relatively modest price, with overall well-balanced sound, decent clarity and solid bass performance.
