Best BATTERY LIFE for TWS headphones, best noise cancelling, best price/performance.
Firmware upgrade support, App support.
Amazing earbuds. Great audio, fully featured and very comfortable. Perfect when sitting. When walking outside, I feel like I have to keep reseating them because they do work their way loose after a while. The touch controls are comprehensive and intuitive, if perhaps a bit too small a target for my huge fingers.
One feature suggestion for a possible firmware/software update. I’d love for the bud to automatically switch from stereo to mono if I’m only using one. I’d enjoy having a manual switch in the app for switching from stereo to mono as well (sometimes my spouse likes to hear what I’m listening to, so we share buds).
That old set of ear fun buds I got like 5 years ago they still work but time to upgrade please disappear to be a good upgrade time will tell
I work remotely and am on Zoom 3/4 of the day. I have about 10 different brands of wireless headsets and struggle with connectivity, voice quality, battery length, etc. So far, these have been the best and my voice is very clear. I love that they came in pink because in a family where everyone has their own wireless headsets, being able to quickly identify which are mine is important! These are comfortable even during a long day of calls.
First i was very sceptical if this pair of earbuds will fulfill my expectations but when they came to my hands and start testing them i was amazed! It has very good ANC and also clear sound. It just need to have some tweaking and find your proper sound how you are better with it. This is why I'm late to make a review, but please, anyone who read this, do not hold back for those pair of earbuds, they are amazing and with a very simple and neat app, which all are very easy to tweak! Insta buy them!!
I tend to buy earphones in the budget range:
- TOZO T12 2022 ($34)
- ENACFIRE F1 ($50)
- ERJIGO KZ ZSA ($27)
What impressed me about the EarFun Air Pro 3 was the very satisfying bass and solid acoustic range.
I would not rate the noise canceling as effective, even though it was able to suppress background noise to a significant degree. The noise-canceling feature wasn't a specification I needed; at best, it was a nice to have.
For the foregoing reasons, I would still give a 9.5/10 rating, particularly the price point and value I received.
For the service support, I need to give a 10/10 rating. Let me share my harrowing story and how Earfun went out of their way to make me happy. I bought this earbud under the Black Friday Sales, and Amazon reported that my order was "probably" fulfilled on December 1. As I reside in Singapore and buy US items through a reshipment service, I waited until January and a few emails to realize that my order never arrived. I reached out to Earfun, who could have told me it was too late to fulfil or correct the missed delivery. However, Earfun was ever so nice and shipped out another earbud to my reshipment service, which was why it took so long to reach me.
I have been using and would like to share that this product is totally satisfying and I wanted to shout out to Earfun for their exceptional post-sale service support. Show Full Review
I think I'm up to 7 pairs of wireless earbuds now. I also have a bunch of wired earbuds, IEMs, cans, and play around with hi-fi. I also test headsets as part of my job - mostly stuff for conferencing/gaming, but get a wide variety of toys tossed at me. I bought these at the urging of a colleague and can safely say that for the pricepoint, these cannot be beat.I have lots of earbuds scattered around - all with a designated purpose. I keep the Earfuns at the office. They aren't great in the wind, so I mostly use them inside. There they shine though. The area where I work gets a bit noisy at times, and these knock down the background noise nicely. I use them in the gym every day & they do a good job of drowning out the music that nobody wants to hear. Noise cancelation is non-intrusive and doesn't introduce any notable artefacts although there is an audible noise floor in a quiet room with them on...as can be expected with most NR.Sound Quality is pretty good too. I mean, for the price point, amazingly good. They do break up a little in bass-heavy complex music, but we're managing expectations at this price. Overall frequency response is reasonably even across the spectrum, but again manage expectations with bass heavy EQ. They do movies/TV shows well. App is great! It's intuitive, has features galore and it works smoothly. Build quality in both the case and earbuds is punching above its weight. Everything is really.I don't use these for audio calls often. I like booms and generally use the Shokz or Plantronics Voyager there, so I won't comment on that part.When you consider that these little miracles somehow house speaker drivers, resonant chambers, a DSP, amp, transciever, batteries, sensors, microphones, and control them all with exceptional synergy, how can you justify not owning a pair even at retail? Even though I'm spoiled, I'd be happy to call these my only pair of earbuds. Well, almost. I ride bikes, so prefer Jabra Elite 7 for the low wind noise and physical buttons there, but everywhere else. They aren't the highest-end sets you'll find, but I'm picky. For 99% of users, this is the one for you. Show Full Review
Although I didn't need yet another earbud model, I decided to add the Earfun Air Pro 3 to my pile. I'm glad I did. Im listening to music thru them right now! Awesome. Totally awesome... In short- I love these Air Pro 3s!
-----They exhibit premium quality features at a low
cost.
❤️ I love you Earfun!
I think I'm now on my 12th different earbud set (different models from different brands) in a year - they all work.... but I've been on a quest to find that perfect winner. Really, I already had met all my requirements in an earbud before all this earbud buying - the beautiful Earfun Free Pro 2 has it all. I guess it's just because I like personal audio devices. I certainly don't actually need them all lol. They are all different to some extent. Some are stem style, some button style and wing style. I'm always on the quest for something different or a great deal. Maybe Im developing a earbud buying disorder?.....Why these Air Pro 3's? Well, I already had the Earfun Free Pro 2 and the Earfun Free Mini (I think that's the model. That one is discontinued). I have enjoyed both.
*The Free Pro 2s are my #1 all-time favorite "all rounder" for everyday use* ---but now this Air Pro 3 throws a wrench in my rankings bc it's right next to the Free Pro 2s (FP2s) being at the top for being a perfect All Rounder everyday earbud that's chock full of options and capabilities. I will say I like the general overall shape / fit design of the FP2s better, but they are similar in sound, loudness, great bass, great noise cancelling and great transparency mode. I'm not a big stem style fan...I have a few though. I absolutely had to try this one. Come to think of it, the FP2s were the very first set I bought around a year ago... that started this whole earbud buying thing. I was perfectly happy with the Free Pro 2s, but wanted something to use as a backup when they needed a charge. My second set (another brand, cheaper..."T6's") were unimpressive (ok). Then I got a 3rd cheap backup - from yet a different 3rd brand (Free 2 Classic) - ok, basic.... then a 4th... I should've just bought another set of Free Pro 2s at that point, but I kept wanting to see if there was something else that could compete with the Free Pro 2s.... nothing so far in the low budget area...those others didn't have a lot of features...soooo....
Then I wanted something that had both noise cancelling and transparency mode like the FP2s. - next step up. So I got a more upgraded 5th pair from a 4th diff brand -Soundcore. Those (a3i's) were ok, but the transparency mode wasn't nearly as good as the FP2s. Plus, it didn't have the awesome bass /sub bass that the FP2s have. Then I grabbed another set that was a upgrade from the prior (Life P3)- that one is almost as good as the FP2s...but the transparency mode(s) were still not as good as the FP2s (all the other aspects were pretty good, but the FP2 was still my fav)...now at this point - I was already really sick with Earbud Buying Derangement Syndrome (EBDS) and started buying other, more exotic models, especially when I could find a deal. Specifically ones that were considered high end but we're being sold super cheap bc they never got popular. I also got a couple of earbuds sets that are dual driver designs- I really enjoy those for music. That's something I wish Earfun would introduce - a dual or even a triple driver wireless / tws earbuds.
Anyway, at the end of all this crazy earbud buying, other than maybe 2 specific models I enjoy, nothing really grabbed me as a direct compliment / competitor to my FP2s for all round enjoyment and practical use - until I got these Air Pro 3s.
I'm mentioning all this to simply show my experience with a variety of earbuds.
I didn't get specific about anything because Amazon has recently been denying my reviews because I talk about too many aspects around --- products, sellers, packaging, delivery, shape of product and prices ---- seriously ---- these items I just mentioned were sent to me in a message stating that my reviews are being denied from public access because I talk about that stuff - ALL THAT STUFF IS DIRECTLY RELATED, APPLICABLE TO THE PRODCTS BEING REVIEWED AND IS WHAT MAKES A REVIEW A REVIEW....
Sorry - I had to say that because I'm afraid to to do any reviews now. These reviews can take time to do.
So back on point - I tried a bunch of different earbuds with different capabilities from different manufacturers/ brands.
These Earfun Air Pro 3s are a great buy. They are very similar in many ways to my beloved Earfun Free Pro 2s...except theyre stem style and have app support (a big plus)
★★★★★ Loud - yes (I'm a volume junkie - important)
★★★★★ Great bass - yes (and some low extension as well) If u refer to the raw frequency data graph on rtings.com you will see the huge amount of bass these put out. Deep bass, bass extension, great sub bass.
*The 11mm wool composite dynamic drivers are designed for ear punching hardcore bass...and keep mids clear with no struggle
†NO WORRIES - if it's too much, u can
EQ the bass out easily in the Earfun App. Its
always better to have extra low end than not
have enough...it's a lot harder to add bass then
take way. Fact-Verified (lol)
★★★★★ Clear mids - yes (u can self adjust EQ if needed). The mids push thru without any major struggle and retain vocal & instrument detail and basic positioning. Sound / instrument separation is good. Stereo imaging is decent.
*If you find the mid bass & or high bass a bit much or if it's starting to muddy up a track, simply play with the EQ - these Air Pro 3s are very EQable. Seriously...
I don't have any issues pulling out most details in my music.
Now I will say (this should be an obvious point) ---- I wouldn't expect to hear the same amount of detail in the mid-frequency to upper-mid, low treble frequency range that you can hear & recover in a set of premium open back, over ear circumaural headphones. For that level of spacious detail, separation and soundstage I have the Philips Fidelio X2HR, SHP9600, and Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's. ---again - these are all full size on ear studio / professional headphones. Can't compare apples to oranges.
* These earbuds are single driver (dynamic) closed backs that are going to have limitations. IMO they do a great job for all music & voice reproduction and meet or exceed the intended purpose of this product line.
★★★★ Treble - overall pleasant - not too bright (some sensitive ppl may have to tame it down a little),.... but not dull and quiet either. Generally speaking the treble is good , not particularly spectacular....well - I'm conflicted here. On some tracks it's really nice, detailed and pleasant. Other times it's just ok. Not bad by any means. Most single driver earbuds fall in this good, but not great ranking regarding high frequencies. These Air Pro 3s have an advanced driver that's fully capable. Adjustments in the EQ may be required when changing genre's or track types when it comes to treble (for critical listening).
I have 3 different sets of dual driver earbuds (2 sets have a 10mm driver paired with a 6mm driver in front...the other has a 10.2 mm driver with a balanced armature in front for high frequencies.) Only those multi driver sets have extra detailed treble that's exceptional and well above average. I would love to see Earfun make something similar -hint hint lol.
I would say overall the Air Pro 3 has excited treble, but not too sibilant (again, u can adjust if necessary) and is fully acceptable with enough detail and energy.
★★★★★ Noise Cancellation - very effective at low frequency noise cancellation - ie transportation sounds - aircraft, trains, buses. Since I no longer travel *(I wish I had these several years ago when I used to travel coast to coast all over the Continental USA for 15 years....mostly drive large commercial trucks but also had to fly on occasion. Travelers have it made with technology these days) --anyway (lol) -i now use these for both fan and air conditioner noise that I have blowing at 2 of my listening stations.
****These Air Pro 3 almost completely block out the A/C rumble noise. Barely...barely can make out a faint noise. Matter of fact, they do a better job than a pair of ANC JBL headphones I have. Also better than or at least tied to other sets...very strong noise cancellation. Love it
★★★★★ Transparency Mode - Air Pro 3 works better in this mode than most other earbuds in my collection. The Soundcore models I have (A3i, Life P3, Liberty 3 Pro) - 2 of those have multi Transparency Modes...and still, I like the Air Pro 3 better in this category. With the Air Pro 3s, U can hear everything around you as if they aren't in ur ears. Those other buds are too quiet in transparency mode and can be dangerous to use in public traffic. This is an important issue to me. Another matter of fact - one of the reasons I got into an earbud buying binge was to find another pair (along with my FP2s) that have a good transparency mode. In all fairness , the Edifier w240tn and Philips TAT8506 also have a good Transparency Mode, but have other issues that would keep them from being in the very top with the FP2s and the Air Pro 3s...the w240tns have a crackling issue in the left driver when in ANC mode and the TAT8506s can be a little quiet volume wise, plus they are a bit big physically (always something, right).
Bottom line in this category - exceptional Transparency Mode
‡ I haven't tried gaming / low latency mode.
★★★★★ Bluetooth Codecs - WOW!¡!¡!
Qualcomm QCC 3070 chipset - this is premium!
-aptX adaptive
† low latency mode
- AAC
- LC3
- SBC
Most of my other earbud sets don't have but SBC and maybe AAC...a couple have LDAC and LHDC. LDAC is great, BUT only works with my phone. Both my Bluetooth transmitter / receivers I use for TV streaming only have aptX HD / LL ---- no LDAC OR LHDC. So this works out great for me having aptX adaptive (it works retro with my transmitters). Plus - aptX uses less battery than LDAC... LDAC is a battery sucker - they Hoover up the juice. The aptX adaptive version is the most efficient codec to date. Plus they have the upgraded QCC 3070 chipset instead of the more common 3040 - sweet! Earfun really thought this through.
★★★★★ Battery Life - so far so good. I don't have specific times, but to keep it short and sweet - these last a long time in various modes compared to other sets
†Wireless charging is cool to have. Works great just placing them on my charging disc
★★★★★ Phone Calls - another short and sweet segment ---- with the few calls made, these have great audio on both sides of the convo- no static, loud enough, wind noise is cut out...pretty clear for earbuds
★★★★ App support - decent app. It covers all the basics. It's simple to use and has a nice user interface. There are more advanced manufacturer associated apps out there for other sets (such as Soundcore's app), but this one does everything you need. *Earfun is newer to the app scene compared to other guys, so I'm sure it's still a work in progress. It's absolutely better than some of the other apps I've used (such as Edifier and Soundpeats apps). The only issue (knit picking) is when u manually adjust the EQ frequency sliders, they will move up or down erratically at first until u get a hold of it and move it into position (hard to explain) - it's not a big deal. Also, the app wants u to sign up with email to register the warranty and have a login to access your app settings. However, I think you can bypass this if you want. Personally I like it - it gets the product registered and makes solving a warranty issue better and easier.
★★★★★❤️ Customer Service / Support
I can personally say that I have had to use customer service to replace a set. Earfun was on top of the situation fast and sent me a replacement quickly Free of charge.
I wanted to mention that - customer service goes a long way with me and I greatly appreciate it.
To Earfun and all those involved --- Thank you very much. Exceptional Customer Service / Support. I decided to put this comment close to the end - as not to draw attention to it (instead of saying my thank you's first). Greatly appreciated 🙂
★★★★ Comfort - for me, they are pretty comfortable. They come with various size ear tips. As I may have mentioned, stem style aren't my favorite style. So naturally I find other styles more comfortable - such as my FP2s that I've mentioned a million times by now. The FP2s are very comfortable btw....
I kind of sorta understand what another review said about a shallow fit. It's not a big issue with me. Its in line with other stem types I have - such as the Life P3's - about the same comfort level. Although the stock ear tips are decent, I may get another set (or 2) of Spinfit 360s. I currently have Spinfit 360s on my FP2s and couple other earbuds sets - such as my Engine 4's (these are the particular dual driver bud set that I really love for critical listening - Earfun, please make something like this --- pretty please-- I will buy them immediately) Btw - those aren't a direct competitor to these Air Pro 3s because they do not have noise cancelling, transparency, wireless charging, etc...not as many options on that set.
★★★★★. Connection - no issues. The signal works unimpeded throughout most of my small(ish) house - thru a few walls. Great range
***Multi-point works flawlessly between my phone and TV (or PC). Nice feature. Can keep an eye on the charge or take a call without interruption. No hassle here.
★★★★. Size - case is about average size for this style earbud. Not too bulky...it's not super compact either (super compact belongs to the FP2s- those are super duper compact).
The Air Pro 3 case is still small enough to put in ur pocket and go around town with them. Its got a matte finish that's nice to feel and look at.
The earbuds themselves are about the same size as other similar buds (such as the Life P3's). Not huge or tiny.
And again - wireless charging (nice)
***They are fairly easy to take out of the case. They don't slip as much as others (talking to u Soundpeats)
Then again, this stem style has an advantage. They rest in a horizontal position making them easier to pull out. Button style buds can be hard to grip...it's not completely their fault. Plus with those, u have to fight a tug of war battle with the magnets. Not such a problem with the Air Pro 3s.
Anyway - I think I covered all the basics. If anything major occurs that would alter my review, I will try and remember to update.
*Bottom line here - if ur in the market for full featured TWS earbuds, and don't want to pay a high premium price, but want premium quality - look no further. Buy the Air Pro 3s now - Show Full Review
I'm about a week in on these and will give impressions. If any quality issues come up within the first year I will update my review. I tend to be long winded. Sorry.
My last set of earbuds was about 4 years ago and they were nothing special. Just needed for work and I often listened one ear at a time. So, looking for a set now I had to start from very little knowledge which was daunting. I recommend supplementing your review reading with video reviews but, be warned, I rarely see negative earbud review videos on YouTube. You can still figure out the strengths and weaknesses by the way they talk about the features. And pay attention to the names you keep hearing. So many weird company names on Amazon it's hard to tell what's a reputable company.
My main motivation for getting new tws was TV/gaming. I wanted something that could handle the latency demands of mixed media and my old pair had large delay just from watching videos on an android TV. I also bought a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver to use with Xbox. It's BT5.0 with aptx-LL. I should have gotten one with bt5.3 and aptx adaptive but it was early in my research and it seems to be working fine so I'll keep it.
In terms of latency these TWS work very well. You can see the aptx adaptive working when you switch to video. A lip sync delay for a second or two and then it matches up. Very cool. Watching video on phone, on Android TV, and watching YouTube on Xbox are all well synced without having to activate game mode. I booted up borderlands on Xbox to check gaming sync. It was so so until I activated game mode and then it felt perfect. Whatever delay was there was not noticable for me. There is a caveat to that, however. I had no perceptible delay when the transmitter was connected (via 3.5) to the TV/monitor. If I connected the transmitter to the Xbox controller I could notice delay. Not a lot, really, but enough that makes it unacceptable for competitive shooters. Connected to the TV/monitor I felt good with gunshots but I was playing single player, offline. I'm unsure if it would or would not be good enough for pubg or something. I'm also not sure if having a bt5.3 transmitter with full aptx adaptive would have made it okay connected to the controller. I'm also curious if the newer transmitter would prevent my need to switch to game mode for gaming. I "may" return my current transmitter in favor of the 5.3. If I do, I'll update. Bottom line- if you're looking to use earbuds with the TV I do recommend the aptx adaptive codec instead of hi res/ldac. Transmitters tend to use aptx-LL which aptx adaptive is capable of. If you had a LDAC pair of earbuds it would likely default to SBC codec which is not quite as good. The "game mode" on a LDAC pair may be adequate still but you'll likely have to always turn it on when switching to video whereas aptx adaptive will do that for you. I think BT5.2 is probably sufficient (and perhaps 5.1) but given I don't intend to upgrade anytime soon I'm happy to have the current latest tech. The QCC3076 is also higher than most of the competition at this price point. QCC3040 and better is fine, though, if you spot a good deal.
The other features include ANC, Ambient Mode, QI wireless charging, fast charge, 6 mics, a reset button on the case, and a fairly minimalist APP that has very mediocre ratings. The ANC I've never experienced before so I have no comparison for you but it's not bad. I won't pretend it completely silences the world but it does make an impact. I just mowed the lawn today and it reduced the and of my riding mower significantly. I could still hear it, of course, but it got much quieter. On other things it does work but don't expect a miracle. Certainly, it was hard to hear what people were saying to me when I had it activated.
The Ambient Mode is, um, present. It's doing something but I don't think it's the winning feature here. For voices in a fairly quiet area I actually prefer normal mode. Turning Ambient Mode on does let more sound in but I think it makes the voices blend in with the background more. I do like it for feeling less closed off. Maybe for a waiting room or something when you want to hear when it's your turn. Personally, I think I'll stick to one earbud at a time when I want to still be alert.
Wireless charging is very convenient if you're already using one. It'll charge slower than wired but it's easy to put down and pick up. It's fairly rare for budget buds. I think TOZO has it on most of theirs, however. I personally love it because my phone has reverse wireless charging. I can place the case on the back of my phone and it'll charge (at 5w, 15w is standard for those circle charge pads though). Nice to have but not necessarily a must have. Fast charge is great. If using for work a lunch break would be more than enough charge to cover the rest of your shift.
The app is very limited but it does cover the essentials. An EQ that I recommend using to reduce the bass (unless you love a lot). These buds are base heavy out of the box. There's a firmware update available and it will impact the sound. You'll want to update ASAP. You can customize the controls. There is L and R and each has 1,2, and 3 press along with long press. So that's room for 8 controls. You'll have to make choices. Game mode is not originally a preset but you can make it one. You'll have to consider if you'll be using only 1 earbud at a time as that will impact what controls you program.
As a feature set, I'm very happy overall. Would love 4 and 5 press options but it's serviceable as is. I got these for $56 so I think the value is there.
Sound wise I'm happy but I'm not the most discerning. I don't think I have the ears of an audiophile. I reduced the bass and the sound feels pretty good. Better than my last pair for sure but that was too be expected. If you want stunning sound you'll be looking for dual drivers, the bigger the better. These are single driver, 11mm wool something something. It sounds good. Great for TV. In gaming the spacial audio is pretty good but not like 7.1 surround or anything. You get a sense of left and right, front and back. Fair for the price I feel. It was pretty immersive in my gaming session last night.
Call quality was good as stated by the one person I called so far. The stem styles tend to be better for calls over the full bud. I could hear the call well and supposedly I was very clear. I was indoors with little noise (TV and a kid in the background).
Last point- fit. So far this is where I struggle the most. The fit is shallow. The tips don't go very deep and it feels insecure. I don't think it's actually going to fall out but the shallow fit makes it feel unsettled. I've put on some tips from another headset and it's better but I'm still not completely happy. Maybe foam tips would be better? It's not so bad that I'm ready to return them but it's the biggest issue I've got. I wore them for about 6 hours yesterday (gaming) and I wasn't sore or anything. A few tickles or whatever that made me want to adjust them. I'll look into some tips to see if I can improve it. I think with any earbud you risk it not being compatible with your ear given how different everyone is.
To wrap this up (again, sorry) I think the value is there for my situation. This should be seen as a good utility pair with the latest feature set. You should wait until you can get them for $60 or less. I see $20 off regularly and the lightning deal I got was only a few dollars less than that. You can get better sound at this price point (like soundpeats engine 4). Other competition for features might be soundcore space a40 but that's a bit more money and it's LDAC. Soundcore has the Sonic/Sonic pro with aptx adaptive but they are a few years old at this point. It's hard to find the full aptx adaptive at the budget price. Mostly it's aptx HD or something like that. LDAC will likely become more common as it doesn't require the company to pay a license fee for the Qualcomm. This set hit all the important notes for me so I'm pretty happy with the purchase. I currently recommend them for someone who specifically want aptx adaptive at an affordable price. Show Full Review
I read a lot of reviews before picking out these earbuds to use with my aging Android phone and newer tablets. No issues connecting via Bluetooth to these devices, even allows connecting to both a tablet to listen to music or watch videos and to the phone simultaneously for answering calls.
My outer ear canals itch a little after wearing these for an hour or two. I just pop them out and wiggle with my finger and then I'm good to go. Would probably happen no matter which type earbud I had in so probably not specific to this model. The type of ear tip and it's fit I'm sure will make a difference here.
It's very convenient just to be able to tap the buds with a fingertip once or twice or even a triple tap to change volume, pause, answer calls, skip ahead etc. Occasionally when you touch or handle the buds there may be an unintended command from the jostling of handling but it's easily corrected.
Transport control summary:
Tap and hold - toggles sound modes through ambient, normal, noise canceling
Single tap left - reduce volume one notch
Single tap right - increase volume one notch
Double tap either bud - pause/play or answer phone / hang up
Triple tap left bud - skip backwards to previous track
Triple tap right bud - skip forward to next track
I don't use the manufacturer's app at all and don't think I need it. My mp3 music player is Poweramp and it has custom EQ settings which let me tailor the sound I want. If you are watching other media that has no EQ, then you might want to use the app to adjust the EQ for your liking. My aging ears need a boost in the treble when I'm listening to music. So far, straight YouTube listening has been okay but I really need some EQ when I want to enjoy the full range of music.
Answering phone calls is a wonderful plus and somehow the built-in microphones do a very good job of picking up voice for calls. People I've spoken with say the audio is quite good . If you're listening to music and the phone rings, just double tap one of the buds to answer and then double tap again to hang up.
The active noise canceling is pretty darn good for the money. Maybe not quite as good as Bose quiet comfort but very close. The performance will depend greatly on getting the right size ear tip to fit your ear canal to block ambient sound. Having these is way way better than my old over - the - ear Boses quiet comfort 15 noise canceling headphones with cord. What a hassle that was and messy when you exercise and sweat.
And speaking of ambient sound, the ambient sound mode of these phones is perfect for listening to music while still being able to participate in a conversation around you when that is necessary. This mode uses the microphones on the buds to pick up ambient sounds and uses just the right amount of amplification to restore sound levels similar to open ears. You can be aware of sounds around you while still listening to your content. It's easy to rotate through the three modes by tapping and holding the end of one bud or the other to make it switch. Normal mode blocks a lot of ambient sound all by itself because the proper ear tip plugs your ear canal. Normal mode is probably the most efficient balance between noise blocking and power consumption / battery life. Noise canceling mode is true active noise canceling and does what it is supposed to and does a pretty decent job squelching the noise from my mower and weed eater when I'm doing yard work . Noise canceling mode has the most power consumption and shortest battery life. I have not used my buds enough at one time to run them down before putting them in their box to recharge. I always like to keep my devices topped off.
I was advised to get a tethered set of earbuds because another individual felt it was too easy to lose the ones that he had - another brand of buds. I'm glad I did not do that. With the right size ear tip, I've had no problem with my earphone AirPro 3 bud staying in place while I'm mowing or working out. They are light and comfortable, nothing hanging around your head and neck to catch on things or become a nuisance.
These were my first Bluetooth earbud purchase and I have been extremely pleased with them. Definitely recommend and would buy again if I needed an extra pair.
I like how they begin to pair just by opening the little carrying box. It only takes seconds for them to connect for calls and audio. They also disconnect automatically just by popping them back into the box and then they begin charging from a little battery that's right in the box. That's the coolest feature of all, you can keep the buds topped off by popping them in the box every few hours or whenever you take a break from listening. The box has a USBC connector on it and charges using the same cord I used to charge my other Android devices.
I went looking for replacement ear tips and had great difficulty finding ear tips that specifically mentioned fitting the Earfun AirPro 3. I found that the Spin-fit 360 series ear tips, made with 'medical grade silicone', are very comfortable and fit the nozzles nicely on these buds. I ended up needing the extra large size tips to fit my ear canals the best, making the earbuds even more secure than the largest tips that came in the factory box. Getting a great seal on the tips improves the sound significantly as well as noise rejection. Show Full Review
