Air Pro SV

I've owned several models, including the Air Pro 2, 3, and 4, SV, and Free Pro 2. I'm always interested in finding a lower cost alternative to the often problematic Bose QC Ultra (and II before them) earbuds, and I've recently found a comparable-cost alternative in the new AirPods Pro 3. EarFun keeps drawing me in with their 30% off and similar introductory pricing, though that may be over as the AirPods Pro 3 are giving me legit 8+ hours battery life and good ANC, and between them and the 5 hour Bose, my day's covered. According to my notes, I returned the 4's because of asymmetric ANC pressure (and I never notice ANC pressure), also because the range was so poor with multipoint, but disabling multipoint prevented me from switching sources without re-pairing, as I easily do with my AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 3, Bose QC Ultra earbuds, Air Pro 3, etc. As for the Air Pro 2 and Free Pro 2, I no longer have them, so I must have tossed them for one reason or another. I do still have the Air Pro 3's but only use them for brief periods with one source. I remember concluding the SV were unadulterated garbage and tossed them. Based on my experience, I expect the 4+ to be $100 earbuds at best. I'd be surprised if they're worse than the CMF Buds 2 Plus, my latest venture into less expensive earbuds. Those are quite bad, and I wish I had returned them.

I have the Earfun air pro + and really like them. The sound is really good, battery life is great, ANC is pretty good. They are a great buy at 75 bucks. OnePlus buds 4 seem to be the best overall bud at 100 bucks. The Tozo NC20 are a good buy at 50 bucks you aren't looking for great sound. I have the NC9 and they sound pretty decent.

Ear Fun Air Pro (I guess seconding). I've purchased tons of these and these are great. Very comfy (even for sleeping), multiple modes of ANC including turning it off instantly so you can talk with people (the touch controls actually work even if you have long hair). Sounds is much better than others I've tried and they are good value.

I personally use the airpods pro because I have a macbook and iphone, so its super convenient, but Id also recommend the Bose quiet comfort earbuds or earfun air pro if you're on a budget. You can find some good options [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/user/BrushWild1866/comments/1n9hfgg/the_best_wireless_earbuds/)

Main differences are dual driver setup on the Pro+ vs single driver on pro, and tip shape where pro+ is oval while pro is circular. I've heard the dual drivers are a big step up, but I didn't get on with the oval tips on the pixel buds 2 so I've held off trying the pro+. The regular Pro has been my daily buds for the last 18 months and I've been pretty happy with them though; I'd recommend do their sound profile test first and then tweak EQ for preference, gave me a solid sound profile. Edit: also do your EQ setup on 'normal' with ANC off, if you balance it around the ANC it can produce weird results when you go back to normal or transparency mode

I have used a lot of earbuds, but the best for price, quality, and features are the Realme Buds Air Pro series and the Earfun Air Pro. You can find them for around 50 euros on AliExpress.

Anything from Earfun are fantastic, I've had a couple of different variants of the 'Air' model. Also, the Soundcore by anker P20i are brilliant value and sound good. I am a bit picky when it comes to sound, but these are all great choices. Will they be as good as AirPods Pro 2? No, but they are probably 75% as good for almost 10% of the price. I have had these ones I mentioned, and now have AirPods Pro 2, so I am talking from experience.

Got some earfun after my dog chewed up my soundcore liberty pro 3 and I've been surprised. Used them on a recent flight and had really good anc. The fitment is a little iffy but need to try swapping tips or finding some memory foam ones.
