The manufacturer claims you’ll get 25 hours in total with ANC on (seven from the buds and an additional 18 from the case), which is bumped up to 32 hours with this feature switched off. īattery life, thankfully, is a completely positive story. When walking, however, it becomes quite tricky to achieve the desired outcome, with some of our commands being missed. We found these controls were not especially difficult to activate when stationary. Volume up and down controls are on the left and right earbuds, with the right also able to skip tracks and the left able to summon Siri / Google Assistant, as well as change the noise cancellation mode.
BEST BUDGET WIRELESS EARBUDS FOR IPHONE PRO
The controls used by the Earfun Air Pro mostly work they’re a little too complicated for their own good, though. By comparison, touch-sensitive controls can be far more finicky, often not working as intended. There's a lot of simplicity in a physical button. (Image credit: TechRadar) Controls and battery life Still, they’re a great fit for commuters, who may value a longer battery life more than a slim charging case.

Though it will easily fit in loose jeans, it isn’t quite on the same level as the Galaxy Buds with their tiny case that can fit nearly anywhere. There are drawbacks too of course the larger footprint means that the charging case is slightly larger than we’d like.

This will vary from listener to listener, though, and you do get a range of eartips included in the box.īeing slightly bulkier than some other earbuds means there’s room for a relatively large battery in each bud, and allows the microphone to be positioned closer to the mouth for clearer calls. We generally found that these buds were comfortable, but during longer listening sessions they began to chafe. The build is angular and industrial, though still comfortable while providing a tight seal against the ear canal. The Earfun Air Pro are the product of a company that wants to set its products apart from the likes of the Apple AirPods. One color scheme is offered, a black / silver combination. The Earfun Air Pro buds are available from Amazon for $80 / £70 / AU120, though they are stocked by a few other retailers. (Image credit: TechRadar) Earfun Air Pro price and availability

If it weren’t for slightly fiddly gesture controls and – in our experience at least – a slightly uncomfortable fit, these would immediately earn our wholehearted recommendation.Īs it stands, these wireless earbuds are an excellent choice for most, offering a blend of useful features and strong performance that should make them popular with commuters in particular. Amid a sea of similarly priced efforts on Amazon, they stand out thanks to their superior design and excellent audio chops, and show a high level of competence in almost all other areas. On their own merits, the Earfun Air Pro buds are accomplished, but against the competition at this price point they shine. If you listen mainly to rock, hip hop, punk or pop you’ll have an especially good time – and they’re equally at home with podcasts or audiobooks. These aren’t buds that will reveal moments of high fidelity in complex orchestral FLAC tracks as the name suggests the focus here is very much on ‘fun’. These are buds that will work easily across most genres, though those looking for reference or studio-quality audio will be better off looking at wireless earbuds intended for audiophiles. The buds provide an enjoyable listen for casual music fans, with warm, prominent bass and an energetic sound. While we found the EarFun Air Pro didn’t last quite as long as their claimed 32-hour battery life (that’s with ANC turned off), they still offer an impressive playtime for earbuds at this price.įrom a sound perspective, the Earfun Air Pro buds are a definite win. The touch controls are limited, and as can often be the case, we found them difficult to work with – missed commands were common. Although this no doubt allows for a bigger battery, it also means they don’t fit as easily into small pockets as some other buds. However, a point against the Air Pro earbuds is the size of the charging case. Infrared detectors will automatically pause your music if the buds are removed from your ears, and we found this worked well in testing.
