I got them, they sound good but 1. I coudln't turn off hands free mode so I can be on discord while listening to the games, I don't mind a little bit of latency as long as the audio is crisp 2. The battery is... not great, the buds dont last quite long (from two to three hours) and I would expect that charging the buds with the case would be quick but they're not unlike jlabs for example I found it weird that in order to enable LDAC I need to disable two device modes, sure The game mode seems to reduce the latency from 450ms to 300ms, but I don't see any delays watching movies since most video players already know how to deal with this Overall I'm not quite thrilled with it, but I needed something asap so it'll do since my old buds died If I knew that I can't turn off hands free mode I probably wouldn't have got it and looked for cheap 2.4ghz options (either paid more or found something secondhand after rigorous cleaning)
I can't understand where the review got the ANC performance from but it's pretty much non existent. I've got it on strong noise cancelling and it's barely blocking anything out
Like someone else already said: Earfun Air Pro 4. I own them too. Decent ANC Great EQ Good call quality Comfy and secure fit Battery also last fairly long. Alternative: Earfun Air Pro 4i They are a cheaper version of the OG pro. Sung reviews claim their ANC is slightly better but the OG has better sound and battery ( 6,5 vs 8 with ANC off)
I tried earfun 4i, but mic quality was broken during calls.
My 4i had awful broken unusable mic
Just got me Earfun Air Pro 4i. Lost my 4. The 4i has a bit less features, but as long as it has good ANC, I know I'm getting a good pair. Also the 4i cost me 2,449 (a fraction of what I remember getting for the regular 4), just a bit more than my Space Travel 2 Ultra, and better case, better ANC.
The Earfun Air Pro 4i just dropped, and they’re currently on sale on Amazon for about $40 — and honestly, they’re incredible. The sound quality rivals earbuds in the $300–$500 range. I genuinely don’t understand how or why the Earfun Air Pro 4 lineup is so underrated. They even outperform AirPods, and it’s not even close. You will NOT believe how spectacular they sound.
The Earfun Air Pro 4i has high-resolution LDAC and aptX, lossless snapdragon sound,.along with aptX adaptive, AAC, and SBC. They utilize Bluetooth 5.4 and the QCC3091 SoC, supporting LE Audio and the LC3 codec. Basically, all the codes. The battery life is amazing. I get 9 hours of battery life using ANC and hi-resolution LDAC at 80% volume. The only slight negative is it doesn't get quite as loud as more expensive brands but that's easily remedied using Speaker Booster via Google play store The Earfun Air Pro 4i is on sale for $40 on Amazon. You will not even come remotely close to finding earbuds under $300 that sound as good as these stunning earbuds. An extra $40 gets you the Earfun Air Pro 4 Plus version and it's easily the best sounding earbuds you'll ever hear. You would have to pay $600+ to buy earbuds/headphones that sound better than the Plus version. I'm telling y'all.. go buy you the Air Pro 4 Plus or Air Pro 4 or the Air Pro 4i version.. you wouldn't buy any other brand for the rest of your life
