EarFun - Air Pro 4

At this price point, EarFun Air Pro 4 is hands down the best value, especially they're currently running a website promotion where you can get a significant discount

I have both sitting on my kitchen table and I cannot choose which one to open. I felt like the 4 NC never fit my ear that well when I previously had it (lost them), so I am thinking of going with the Earfun 4.

Yeah the Earfun air pro 4 is so good. I also have the Sony XM4 headphones and sometimes I even prefer the sound of the Earfun to them.

I think you should look into getting the Earfun Air Pro 4 or the Oneplus Buds 3. They both sound better than the Airpods you had before.

Same. I love them both for different reasons.👍

Massive metalhead here - got the Earfun Pro 4s and have been happy with the bass and clarity on the default tuning.

No problems! Glad you like them.

I'm a tad obsessed with buying and testing these. If you like the 'earplug style' - Sonys If you like the 'airpod style' Earfun Pro 4 Personally I like the airpod style and for the price the Earfun are unbeatable.

EarFun airpro 4 have insane ANC (haven’t tried the bose earbuds. The EarFun basically match OTE Bose QC45 performance as far as canceling goes.

Haven’t tried those. I’ve only had the AirPods Pro and the ANC on the EarFun is definitely better than those

Having not tried most of the ones in this list except for the Airpods Pro (and mine were 1st gen), I would add the Earfun Air Pro 4s. They're easily as good as the Airpods Pro (and I don't know if there's a salient difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 of those), i would have to include those in the list. I just got a pair of the AP4s and they're *really* good, and at $89 retail (with discounts available on Amazon), they're an amazing option at this price, but really at any price.

Yeah, I missed that sale on Amazon by a day but they did have a 20% off coupon which made them $71. Still a great deal.

Those would easily be my budget pick. I think the Earfun Air 4 Pros are better then the newly released Soundcore Liberty 4 pros but people are so up the ass of soundcore with that gimmicky case.

I have the AZ80 and Space A40 from this list. I also have the Earfun Air Pro 4, Soundcore Liberty 4NC, Soundcore Sport X20, and I've had several others over the last couple of years including the Jabra Elite 10 gen1. The Earfuns are my favorite for music. The AZ80s are my favorites for day to day use, including phone calls and transparency mode. What I've learned is, the difference between the really high dollar options and mid-priced ones is much smaller than you would expect. I hadn't used the A40s in a while, and they were my absolute favorites for a long time. While they aren't as good as my Earfuns or Technics, unless you're comparing them side to side, you'll probably be okay.

The Oneplus Buds 3 are great. I've also retired my Liberty 4 NC, but it was for the Earfun Air Pro 4. Those were my surprise of the year. The Oneplus buds were great, but the lack of wireless charging and the fact that they hurt my ears after a while (Liberty 4NC also hurt my ears) had me looking for something else. Neither of these buds are perfect, but the OP3 or EAP4 would be a 1A/1B choice over the L4NC. I still love Soundcore as a company though, and their support is still among the best in this space IMO.

I'm considering the Pros too. As for ANC, I think a lot of people on the internet forget, as do I sometimes, that when you're playing music or media, the strength of the ANC is less important. I personally don't think most people are just riding around with ANC on and no music playing. As for the fit, that was my biggest problem with the Liberty 4NC from the gate. They did not fit well in my ears. They were too big. The Oneplus buds were shallower but fit me better. They too eventually hurt my ears, but that's a me problem. Almost ALL stem-style buds hurt my ears after a bit. The Earfun Air Pro 4 are the first set where I didn't have that problem. That said, a lot of people don't have that issue, and they fit fine for them. I do better with bud-style earbuds. The Galaxy Buds Plus and Buds2 Pro fit me really well, as do my AZ80s. I'm saying all that to say, if the 4NC fit you well, they are a very well-rounded set of earbuds, especially for the price right now. They and the Earfuns give you everything at good to great. The Oneplus do sound better though, but it's at the margins. Honestly, if the Oneplus Buds 3 had wireless charging and were just a smidge smaller, the Earfun would have never been considered in the first place. The 4NC always were getting replaced. I tried to get used to them but just couldn't. Still love Soundcore as a company though.

First, I would say after owning several, that what is your favorite doesn't have to be the "best". But since you ask, I would give the best to the Technics AZ80. They are incredibly well rounded and do pretty much everything well. The only negative I can say is, mine had to be replaced because the case stopped charging. I actually had the AZ60M2, and Technics upgraded me to the Az80 as a replacement. There's not a huge difference between the two, but the AZ80s have the slight edge The ones I use most often are the Earfun Air Pro 4. These have been a major surprise. I like them because of how comfortable they are. I also really liked the Oneplus Buds 3, but the Air Pro 4 edged them out on sheer comfort. If you don't want to spend AZ80 money, then the Oneplus Buds 3 or Earfun Air Pro 4 is absolutely where I'd stay and I'd be very happy.

Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2 are my favorite daily drivers when I consider comfort, pocketability, ANC, controls, durability, style, battery life, etc. They sound great but there are other earbuds that have a more premium sound. Sennheiser MTW4 are great daily drivers with a more premium sound. OnePlus Buds *Pro* 3 are great daily drivers at a lower price. My favorite control scheme of any earbuds, and quite good sound and features for the price. I have been trying the EarFun Air Pro 4 for a few days now and while they'll never replace my more premium earbuds, I think they'd make excellent daily drivers for under $100. I got them for like $60 with coupon codes. In LDAC mode with a high res streaming service, they sound far better than a sub-$100 earbud should.

Sorry I'm not a fan of earfun products so don't use them . ( Bad experience with app making odd network calls in the past so I don't trust them )

Earfun air pro 4 or liberty 4NC.

Unfortunately I give the sound quality to the earfun and the ANC to the soundcore. Overall I would choose the earfun.

I also find the earfun air better fit.

Earfun air 4 pro. Should be one of best for its price

OP since you're coming from the airpods, you should go with the Liberty 4 NC or Earfun AP4, other brands will give out and start showing their cost-cutting measures after a couple weeks of use, if not initially I find the AP4 to be nearly similar to the 1000xm5 in terms of sound quality, despite the lower price. If the Sonys are a 10, these are like 9. call quality and battery life are good, multipoint works well Liberty Pro NC will be quite similar and a bit more polished, with a better app, as I've heard. If I was in the market now, I'd go for the **Liberty 4 NC**, though I'm happy with EAP4 CMF Buds are a wildcard that I haven't used, mostly they should have a lower sound quality, reinforced with bass. If I had money to spare though, I'd get them for the novelty alone. The clickwheel is an amazing accessory/feature for the price

Maybe check out the new Earfun air pro 4. I have been rocking Fiio FH7 with their UTWS5 bluetooth adapters for the longest. They are absolutely amazing, however, the case is definitely larger and sometimes I just don't want something wrapping around my ear, come to find out. This led me on a hunt for something a bit more portable and easier to just throw in on the go. The Earfun Air Pro 4 were the first I bought, followed by the Soundpeats Capsule pro 3+, JBL tour pro 3, sony xm5's, mtw4's, AZ80's and, as of 4 hours ago, the Jabra elite 8 active gen 2's and elite 10's. To me (especially for the price of them) the Earfun are hands down a better earbud than these others. The ANC is fantastic, the call quality (according to my wife after I had her continuously answer calls from me to test this out) is much better (using one earbud alone or both, that didnt seem to matter), they sync up almost immediately when pulled out, music sound is awesome and can get very loud, cleanly, if you like that. Battery life has been great. I started a day at 7 AM at the airport and put them back in the case at roughly noon/noon thirty with 20% left when I landed. Wasn't blasting, but ANC was on the whole time. Use of them on the plane varied between Pandora offline music (galaxy s22 ultra apt x codec, though ldac is an option) and my steamdeck playing Elden Ring. The app seems very intuitive and has just worked, everytime, so far. And it pulls up very fast, if you need it. No waiting around, app searching, can't connect, put earbuds back in case pull them back out, try again, etc. Touch controls seem to work great (so far) and there is a ton of customization that can be done through that same app. And...again..I paid 65 bucks for them, which I think you can still buy them at, as of right now, from Amazon. To me, there is absolutely no way the other buds I've tried beyond these are worth almost 200 bucks....ish....more (not counting the soundpeats, they were like 80 I think). This experience really keeps me from venturing into the 400 dollar ish range earbuds (Pi8, Beoplay, Gemini 2's etc) because I just honestly believe there will not be anything there that is worth that much more. So, in my for instance, I definitely did not get what I paid for in the other high dollar brands. Don't get me wrong, they are all pretty decent, but, the Earfun friggin blow them out of the water on a performance to price ratio.

Save you the research hours.. Best in value, with great sound, good app... Earfun Air Pro 4.. End of data.. 🙏🏽

I do like the earfun pro 4. Surprised by all the extras they have for the price, can't be beat. Compete with much more expensive sets.

Odd. With custom audio test in the app, it makes it much better then stock. Then I have android and I use wavelet to eq even more and it's pretty nice. AZ80 needs less tweaks but more expensive. Not much touches these two in terms of sound in terms of the price beyond maybe OnePlus 3 pro, the earfun air pro 4. Sony's, bowers and Wilkins, Jabra, and status are some others that are competitive. Good luck!

I'm no audio addict but I just got the earfun Air pro 4s, and damn they are LOUD. Check them out on Amazon, I was gonna pay the $110 (CAD currency) price tag but there was a coupon for $21 off at checkout, nice little bonus.

I use it too but it seems like op is looking for a higher end bud

I am using earfun pro 4 with my iphone ... sound quality is pretty good for me. Although can't say about you since you are choosy about case too.

I got it for 60 euros

I have Buds Pro 2 for oneplus 12, and keep with me my soundcore Liberty 4 and Earfun Air Pro 4. Don't have any plan to upgrade to Buds Pro 3.

I love senn, but for buds I got EarFun pro 4 and they are fantastic and only 80 usd….

I picked up the Sony c 510 for $50 on Jan 1. It has a well tuned bass. App has a pretty good hearing test. I have had good luck with Earfun :Earfun Air Pro 4 or Earfun Air 2 are both good. CMF Buds Pro 2 has a ton of bass, but picky audio on youtube had some good EQ tips. If you order it but cannot find the right video. Hit me up and I'll give you the basics.

Earfun air pro 4 Lots of reviews online about them, as they beat a lot of the big players. The only buds I have with ANC that sound better are the following Sennheiser TW4 (about 250 usd) Edifier stax s10 (about 300 usd) The Earfun free pro 3 sound as good, but the ANC isn't as good.

I bought AZ80 because of all these \*REVIEWS\*. Sound quality is not better than EarFun Air Pro 4, it is a slightly different (little less bass, so little more voice). Of course, I have used LDAC 900kbps profile with both models. Sound quality can't be physically better, both models has single dynamic driver. I was hugely disappointed and returned AZ80 back to Amazon. AZ100 still have single dynamic driver, sound quality could not be better than AZ80. It is an limit of the technology.

EarFun Air Pro 4. You have to use LDAC 990kbps for better quality. Not many phones let you to force specific LDAC profile. Difference between LDAC 330/660/990kbps profiles are easily hearable.

Yes, EarFun Air Pro 4 are 3x times cheaper (lowest price on sale 70euro vs 200euro for AZ80), don't have a premium metal finishing and look. I suppose sound quality of an all good crafted single driver earphones is the same, difference only in balance (bass focused or vocal focused). EarFun Air Pro 4 has "smooth" and "rich" bass, but vocals a little bit less hearable because of that, even with EQ boost +2+4db (single driver simply can not do all the work). BTW if you switch codec to AAC it will cut off bass and vocals will be clearly hearable. I don't believe much the YouTube reviews after AZ80 purchase.

Sounds plausible. As for TWS, in my opinion, the situation is the same. Single driver is not able to output excellent voice and excellent bass at the same time. You can get either excellent voice and weak bass (Technics AZ80), or good voice and good bass (EarFun Air Pro 4).

Another approach is use a eppfun ak3040pro max or Creative BT-W6 and earbuds that support Snapdragon Sound (Qualcomm’s aptX codecs). It’s possible that just using a transmitter such as those may result in better audio sync even when using earbuds that only support SBC. But ideally you want to use earbuds that take advantage of the better codecs these transmitters support. Earfun Air Pro 4 are great bang for your buck earbuds that support snapdragon sound. Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a more expensive Snapdragon sound option as are Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 and Sennheiser MTW4. Even if your Android version and earbuds both support the LDAC codec, Its better sound quality is great for music but not for viewing due to higher latency.

I got my Earfun Air Pro 4s for $62 shipped. Idt anything is beating it at that price. Best value imo. Sound is good, noise cancelling is good, battery life has been great.

Earfun Air Pro 4s definitely deserve a place somewhere on the list. Insane value for money. You will be hard pressed to realize that these are a budget pair of earbuds.

Probably a faulty pair.

I got the Earfun Air Pro 4 last week. Amazing sound quality, great ANC and call quality. A little quiet due to the output from my phone but that's it. Unreal battery backup, probably one of the best out there.

I don't agree. I've had them for one day and returned them right away. Horrendous wind noise with just a slight breeze outside. Turned the wind reduction on, which automatically turned off/reduced ANC performance. One setting cancels the other. They should work together, not separate. Horrible return experience. Earfun will make you pay for return shipping even though their policy states: "Earfun will pay for return shipping for defective items". After a lot of back-and-forth with an agent, they asked me to completely destroy the earbuds and the case, send them a picture of the destroyed items, and they will issue me a refund. That tells you everything you need to know about the product/company. Proof: [https://ibb.co/yd5k9P0](https://ibb.co/yd5k9P0).

The Earfun Air Pro 4, Wavelet-tuned to the Air Pro 3, will knock your socks off with their bass. The tuning right out of the box is pretty awesome, but I definitely need my bass.

I have the JBL Vibe Beams but I’m not a fan. They don’t have the punchy bass I was hoping for a the EQ adjustments didn’t do that much for me. I just bought some EarFun Air Pro 4 on Prime Day yesterday to see if they’re any better. Gotta have that bass plus they have ANC.

Earfun - either the Air Pro 3/4's or Free Pro 3's. Sonically and feature wise, the best earbuds under £100. They come close to the top tier Sony's (barring the noise cancellation)

I like the Gamesir controllers. They have some cheap Bluetooth that are good quality. I like the earfun earbuds with the gaming mode. Cuts down the frequency distance but better short term use. Wife’s AirPods had noticeable lag. Earfuns did not.
