I’d be careful with the Vorago ESB-401. Sound quality is good, but reliability seems poor. Volume issues after a few months are common, and the battery/case build isn’t very durable. If I were you, I’d go with the EarFun Air 4 pro instead. Sound is clear with punchy bass, ANC is decent, and they’re more reliable long-term with solid battery life—around 9h per charge, 36h with the case. https://amzn.to/45VetWl
I got them yesterday on Amazon since they were on sale. They seem really good. I bought mine on this listing https://amzn.to/4607lqi
For good sound, secure with comfortable ear loops, and you won’t cry if they get lost, are the Soundcore Sport X20. For better sound and good fit but no ear loops are the Ear Fun Air Pro 4 or even slightly better sound but slightly larger in size the 4 +.
I’ve had them for almost a week and I love these slightly improved EarFun Air Pro4+. The sound great, a little better but noticeable. The battery life with ANC sucks. 4 or 5 hours of battery is way below promised life. I’m still happy with the sound quality , but frustrated about battery life.
The plus is a little better. They’re both fantastic value in my opinion.
The fit into the ear is the same, but, the ball of the plus is slightly bigger… for slightly more detailed bass. But the fit is so good for me that with either pair I can fall asleep comfortably and they seldom slip out. A bit more smooth in overall tone than Soundcore Sport X20 which have loops, are much brighter, more bass but not the beauty and definition of the amazing EarFun choices. The EarFun never become fatiguing which is the amazing part of them being under $100 values.
They are better. But it was great to begin with. I have both and use both, every night. I really enjoy them.
2025 technology in EarFun Air Pro4. My daily go to workhorses I really enjoy the accuracy of reproduction.
Gonna say, I got the EarFun Air Pro 4 AI ahead of a transatlantic trip, and the ANC on them literally made the flight not just tolerable but downright enjoyable. I know there's better ANC in some earbuds, but these hit me at $50, and I didn't know I could approach its ANC features at that price point.
Earfun AirPro 4+ or 4i, Soundcore Liberty Buds. Earfun and Soundcore both have great apps, which you can tweak once and mostly forget about. Out of the box, the Soundcore has the better tuning if you want clarity. The Earfuns are a little more bassy.
Just got them too about a week ago. Multipoint is a little buggy for me, but otherwise they are amazing. Be aware that they are quite big tho, so I wouldn't recommend them for small ears.
I see a lot of people rave about the One Plus buds, I never broke down and bought a pair though. I can personally say the the Earfun Air Pro 4 and 4+ are outstanding at their respective price points. I have both... But, I would recommend the 4+ over the 4.
I can't... I have no experience with the One Plus... All I can do is state that the EarFun and an outstanding product for what they cost
Earfun Air Pro 4 or Air Pro 4+ would work great for you
I own several pairs of higher end buds, (Devialet, Noble Rex5, Denon,Status, etc.). I stumbled onto the Earfun brand here on Reddit, had to buy the AP4 to see what all the hype was about... I was absolutly impressed by every aspect of them, for their price point... Buying the AP4+ is a no-brainer for me. I just signed up for their early bird special...
Depending on your budget... The Technics AZ100 has excellent battery life, I get about 7 hours out of a single charge. The sound pretty good, outstanding call quality, and decent anc (with stock tips). The retail is about $279, got mine when they first dropped. My second recommendation is the Earfun Air Pro 4+. I get between 6-7 hours on a single charge. They sound decent, anc is ok, and call quality is good. They can be found for about $100.
The Earfun Air Pro 4+ are an very good choice. I would also look into Status Audio Between 3ANC, they were on sale for $99. Status earbuds are excellent for metal, which is what I mostly listen to.
Earfun Air Pro 4/4+ are both pretty decent all around buds
EarFun Air Pro 4+ are hard to beat or Status Between 3ANC
The AP4+ are a good set of buds, but it sound quality is your primary need/concern, right now, the Status Between 3ANC are on sale direct from Status Audio for $99.
