EarFun Air Pro - Black

I was excited to try out the EarFun Air Pro after I had read about them on some audio websites. I liked the styling and they seemed very compact and looked like they would work well for me at the gym, on the go, and at the office. I decided to take a chance and ordered them. They arrived the next day thanks to Amazon’s Prime's fast shipping.

 Accessories -

When I got the earbuds they came nicely packaged in a petite box. Included in the box is a USB C cable and 3 sizes of ear tips, small, medium, and large. The Air Pro themselves came fully charged in the very small charging case, the charging connectors on the earbuds had a small protective film that needed to be removed before using them. 

Features\Build Quality -

The earbuds use an accelerometer to allow for touch controls, for example two taps on the right earbud starts\pauses music, 3 taps on the right bud advance a track, 3 taps on the left ear bud cycle through hybrid active noise cancelling, transparent mode, normal mode etc. I found it easy to get used to the controls and found they performed well.

The earbuds have hybrid noise cancelling. The hybrid active noise cancelling worked quite well at the gym, quieting the roar of the fans or the pounding of someone’s feet on the treadmill. I found that it also worked well to quite the air conditioning and the constant drone of the servers at my work place.

10mm composite dynamic drivers are utilized and the EarFun Air Pro have an IPX5 sweat\water rating that comes in handy for those that use these at the gym or outside. They have a total 32 hour playtime, 9 hours on the earbuds and 23 hours with the charging case.  I found that the earbuds sometimes exceeded their advertisement play time even.The Air Pro also have noise cancellation for calls and single earbud mode for when you only want to use one earbud.

The Air Pro are very light and are made of a durable black plastic. They are very light and I did not feel any fatigue from having them in my ears for hours. I like the angled nozzle because it fit my ears well and with the included tips also provided good passive noise cancellation. I want to mention that these are very glasses friendly and for those who wear masks to protect themselves during this pandemic. 

I want to touch on how nice and compact the case is, it is to carry in your pocket and seems well made with a USB C charging port, with a charging indicator next to it. The case also has a charging indicator light within the case and is also used for pairing. the earbuds fit magnetically in the case and they felt very secure. Speaking of pairing, these were very easy to pair to both my LG G8 ThinQ and my wife’s Iphone 11. After being paired, the next time I took them out of my case, they were instantly paired and ready to play music. I also like the way they paused the music if I took one of the Air Pro out my ears.  I also wanted to mention that I had no dropouts, I would leave my phone on the window sill at the gym and walked 40 ft or more and they stayed connected, I also had no problem when I took them on a hike with my dog, they never disconnected when used outside.


Sound -

The EarFun Air Pro have lots of bass, but it is controlled and not bloated. They seem to have a V shaped sound signature, with crisp mids, lively vocals, and they do not lack in treble. I really like how they sound.  I listened to a variety of Flac and mp3s in a variety of genres from thrash metal, acoustic, jazz, and so on. The Air Pros performed admirably in all the genre’s I threw at them. I also liked how they had a wide soundstage, they did not sound congested, all of the instruments were easily heard in all the songs. I found myself looking forward to listening to music on my EarFun Air Pro, they were that good.

Calls -

I took several calls with these, both personal and for work. I called my 79 year old mother and she said I sounded great, and that was with a 15 mph wind when I was out on a walk. I used them on some zoom calls and nobody said I sounded robotic or anything. I also thought everything sounded great on my end. I used them both on my Imac and pc during Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings\calls. I can see that the advertised noise cancellation was put to good use for taking calls.

The only thing I would like to see in the next iteration of these would be the use of AptX, the ability to change volume on the earbuds, and maybe an app to give me the ability to change sound signatures, and an equalizer.
Overall, I would highly recommend these. They are priced very reasonably and offer a lot for your money. They have great sound, hybrid active noise cancelling, and a great sound signature with sufficient bass for those those that want their songs to hit hard. Show Full Review

I'm and audiophile on a budget. I have some over ear JBL noise canceling headphones I use for 'serious' listening but for working out or portability I've been using a $30 pair of earbuds that I chose after listening to 5 of the top rated under $40 earbuds. With COVID I started working out more at my house in the garage and wanted better sound quality. You shouldn't pay more than $55.99 for these not because they are worth more but because there are coupons floating around to give you 20% off or 10% off additional on top of Amazon coupon.After listening and comparing to other earbuds in the $75-$125 range, nothing beats the sounds quality, comfort, and functionality. No they aren't as good as Apple Air Pods which many like to compare everything to (or Beats), but they are surprisingly close in sound quality at less than half the price! Good balanced bass. My only criticism is you can't adjust volume with headphone control and the highs are a bit 'bright' -- which is easily fixed if your player has an eq (drop around the 4 Khz frequency down -3 to -6 dB.I also love how they turn on/off automatically from detecting when they are inserted in your ears. I'm adding these to my all-time best deal Amazon past purchases list. Show Full Review

I bought these for $65 when it was on a lightning deal and let me say that they are The BEST sounding earbuds I have ever owned! I’ve had Anker liberty, jabra65t, wired bose earbuds, jlab and sony earbuds that doesn’t even come close to the clarity and bass I get from these buds. You can check my profile that I’m not a paid reviewer and I gave 5 stars or 1 star whichever is deserved. With that being said, I can’t compare them to the apple earbuds or the sennheisers, bose wireless buds that costs $100-200 or even more, all I am saying is that for an average guy who would use these earbuds for music, talking on the phone or watching videos, these buds are perfect. The ANC is a nice addition to the package, it’s good, it works but it’s not the best, the Jabras 65t is better. Battery life is phenomenal and plus the quick charging usb c cord is a nice component too. It comes with 3 different silicone tips and the one that it comes with are perfect for my ears, I can have these on for hours and would not cause any ear pain like other eabuds I had before.

It is great, especially for the price point but it’s not perfect, below are some cons but jot deal breaker for me:
- calls get static noise sometimes but it could also be due to signal.
-both buds can be used separately for music but only the right bud can be used separately for calls
-volume can’t be controlled by either earbuds (this can be a positive for some people)
- incoming facetime calls sometimes don’t connect to the buds, I needed to put them back to the case and put them back on for the call to connect to the earbuds.
- there is no way to check the level of battery

Hopefully the issues with the calls will be fixed with an upcoming update. Even with all the cons, for the price I paid for it is still a steal. Show Full Review

I purchased all of these earbuds with my own money, I wanted to find the best airpod pro alternatives.

I have a decent collection of audiophile headphones, my favorite earbuds are UE TripleFi-10 which I had custom moulded into the shape of my ear. My headphones are Fostex TH-X00, AKG K701, Sennheiser HD6xx (favorite) and Beyer DT770-40ohm driven by a Little Dot MkII.

I don't expect budget BT earbuds to be audiophile level, I want them to sound good for music, audio books, and conference calls for work. They need to be easy to use and I don't want to mess with connectivity issues.

Here's my review of the Mpow X3 vs Tozo NC9 vs Soundpeat T2 vs Earfun Air Pro

TL;DR these are the best, I recommend these the most!
Case:
MPOW X3 - light, however feels flimsy. I feel like I could break it if I knocked the lid the wrong way when it's open

Tozo - Case material and hinge feel solid. The case quality is good.

SoundPeat T2 - Best case in the mix. Very high quality plastic, the hinge feels secure, and the hinge will "snap" open to keep it open. The hinge feels like the highest quality of the mix, a little more solid than the Ear Fun. Very small and perfect shape for tucking away.

Earfun Air Pro - Case also snaps open like the Soundpeat. Very high quality plastic, solid hinge.

Sound: Norah Jones, John Mayer, and mix of hip hop and pop songs
MPOW X3 - Good clarity, clear mids and highs, no fatigue from listening. Music sounds great, audiobooks and calls were clear. Bass was full and thumping from the 10mm drivers.

Tozo NC9 - Very harsh sound. The mids were plagued with a harsh hiss that makes voices hard to distinguish clearly. The highs were very harsh and fatiguing on the ears. Very disappointed in the sound of these. These also had a hard time getting loud enough vs the other earbuds. I had to crank these to 90% to get decent output.

SoundPeat T2 - Very good sound quality. Mids and highs very clear and crisp, lows were deep and kick and thump as appropriate. Volume is good. These seem to have a slightly larger sound stage, and the music will sound "further" away, it's not a bad thing. But it's not as in your face as the Earfun Air Pro's are.

Earfun Air Pro - Clarify from highs to lows, bass is plentiful, and sound is tuned in a very fun shaped V curve without sacrificing clarity in the mids. The highs are ever so slightly bright, it helps w/ dialog if you're watching movies. Let's be honest, no one is going to be referencing studio audio with these, these are meant to be fun, and Earfun/Edifier got the formula right when they were tuning these earbuds.

ANC
ANC was good on all of these. The ANC on the X3 only works when both earbuds are connected. But they all did a decent job of filtering out white noise or even my keyboard clicks.

Looks
MPOW X3 - looks like a pair of black airpods, but the battery connects are on the end of the tips, so when you are facing someone, they see these yellow shiny tips pointing at them. I was not a fan.

Tozo NC9 - Doesn't protrude much from the ear. There is no stem, so it's very minimal. And the matte finished logo with an LED light looks very nice. Too bad they didn't sound good.

SoundPeat T2 - Very good looking pair of earbuds, they protrude quite a bit out of your ears as they need to accommodate the large 12mm drivers and the battery and circuitry. They still feel very solid and I didn't have issues with them falling out.

Earfun Air Pro - My favorite in terms of looks. They look they most like Airpod pros (the portion that goes into your ear) and the stem looks very nice and sharp. The microphone grill points down. Charging surfaces are hidden from view when worn. Very slick.

Connection speed
SoundPeat T2 and Earfun Air Pro will start connecting when the case opens, this makes the connection feel faster than the MPOW X3 or TOZO NC9, which requires you to remove the earbuds from the case to start connecting.

Ability to use individually
MPOW X3 can only use the right earbud individually.
The rest (TOZO NC9, SoundPeat T2, and Earfun Air Pro) can use either ear bud individually. Show Full Review

I've owned and currently use numerous earbuds and headphones from 1More to Bultune and Tozo with others. I was looking for a pair with ANC, solid sound and good Microphones.

Sound: These are at the top, very crisp. Well balanced, great bass and perfect volume. Nicely tuned soundstage. Mids and highs are clean, not harsh. Bass is there, boomy, deep and thumping. I listen to everything, EDM, country - it all sounds beautiful.

FIT & Battery: I tend to need a deeper earbud. These are a bit shallow for me, but thats personal nit-pick. You can't really use 'custom' tips they wont fit in the case. You will need to use what they come with. It does the job for me. battery is as stated. I use ANC all day and I easily get the 7 hours of music and Podcasts.

ANC/Transparent Mode: I think the ANC is decent for wireless ear buds. My 1More ANC Pros are amazing, so no comparison there. EarFun claims 38DB? For me, feels more like 25-28DB. But maybe its because the tips dont quite go deep enough in my ear canal making that super seal. But they DO work. Transparent Mode works great, allows outside noise in, so you arent completely def to your music and pod-casts while being able to hear someone try to get your attention if at home or in the office.

Calls: These claim to have great call quality with minimal background noise, 6 mics, for Transparent Mode, ANC and MICs. Call quality is 4 of 5. Its not the best I've used but I have zero issues - no complains from end callers.

Overall - very happy, especially getting them on sale for $62. Lack wireless charging but thats not a deal breaker at all. Sound is beautiful, makes good calls. Fit comfortably. Look nice. Touch controls work well, just wish they had volume controls with APP capability as well. Show Full Review
