Notice: These headphones were replaced by EarFun Air Pro 2 True Wireless 2021

The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are truly wireless in-ears with an impressive noise cancelling feature. They're comfortable, stable, and have a good battery life, as they last for more than nine hours on a single charge. Their sound profile is somewhat v-shaped and should suit a variety of audio content and genres. Unfortunately, they don't have an app that gives you access to an EQ or presets, and their touch controls aren't the most intuitive, either.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The EarFun Air Pro are good for neutral sound. They have a somewhat v-shaped sound profile. Mixes have extra thump and rumble, and vocals and lead instruments are present and bright, but some may find their sound a bit boomy. They deliver audio very consistently, so they should sound the same each time you wear them. Unfortunately, like all in-ears, they have a bad passive soundstage, so they make music sound like it's coming from inside your head. They also lack an EQ, so you can't adjust the sound profile if you don't like it out-of-the-box.

Pros
  • Consistent sound delivery.
  • Comfortable and stable.
Cons
  • No EQ or presets.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The EarFun Air Pro are great for commuting and traveling. Their ANC feature blocks an impressive amount of bass-range noise like the rumble of bus or plane engines, and they don't leak a lot of audio. They also have good battery life and come with a portable case that holds roughly two and a half extra charges. Unfortunately, their controls can be a bit tricky to use, and the touch-sensitive surfaces aren't the most responsive.

Pros
  • Good continuous battery life.
  • Great ANC feature.
Cons
  • Mediocre touch controls.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The EarFun Air Pro are great for sports and fitness. They have a comfortable, stable fit and an IPX5 rating for water resistance, although we don't test it currently. Like most in-ears, they're extremely breathable, and their truly wireless design is ideal if you're moving around a lot.

Pros
  • Comfortable and stable.
  • IPX6 rating for water resistance.
Cons
  • Mediocre touch controls.
0.0
Office 

The EarFun Air Pro are decent for office use. They have a comfortable fit and a great ANC feature that blocks out a decent amount of background chatter. They also don't leak a lot of audio and have a nine-hour continuous battery life, which should be enough to get you through a workday without recharging.

Pros
  • Good continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Mediocre touch controls.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The EarFun Air Pro aren't suitable for wireless gaming. They can be used with a Bluetooth-enabled PC, but their latency is likely too high for gaming. They aren't compatible with PS4, PS5, or Xbox consoles.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The EarFun Air Pro are truly wireless headphones that can't be used wired.

0.0
Phone Calls 

The EarFun Air Pro are decent for making phone calls. When you're on the phone, your voice sounds muffled and thin but should be understandable. However, in loud environments like a busy subway station, it may be hard for the person on the other end to hear you. They don't have the best controls, so it may be a bit tricky to get the hang of answering or rejecting calls. On the plus side, they have a great noise cancelling performance, which should make it easy for you to hear your phone calls.

Pros
  • Great ANC feature.
Cons
  • Mediocre touch controls.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The EarFun Air Pro come in two color variants, 'Black' and 'White'. We tested the Black variant, but expect the other color to perform similarly to our model. You can see the label for the unit we tested here. If you come across another variant or your headphones are different, please let us know in the discussions below so that we can update our review.

    Popular Headphones Comparisons

    The EarFun Air Pro are truly wireless in-ear headphones. They have a slightly v-shaped sound profile that's less bass-heavy than the EarFun Free Truly Wireless headphones, which some listeners may prefer. Similar to the Mpow X5 Truly Wireless, they have an impressive noise cancelling feature. Their continuous battery life of nine hours is longer than many truly wireless headphones, including the Apple AirPods Pro Truly Wireless. If you want to see more options, check out our lists of the best true wireless headphones, the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds under $100, and the best budget noise cancelling headphones.

    EarFun Air Pro 3 True Wireless

    Track

    The EarFun Air Pro 3 True Wireless are a later generation of the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless and have a few more features. While both buds are comfortable and well-built, the third generation have companion app support, which offers a graphic EQ and presets, and support multi-device pairing as well as aptX Adaptive codec. However, the original Air Pro have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, a better overall battery performance, and can block out slightly more background noise.

    Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless

    Track

    The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless and the Jabra Elite 75t Truly Wireless have different strengths and weaknesses, and which is better depends on your preferences. The Jabra support multi-device pairing and leak very little audio, even at high volumes, so you may prefer them if you're looking for headphones to use at work. They have a bass-heavy sound profile that fans of genres like EDM and hip-hop may prefer, and a great app that gives you access to an EQ and presets. On the other hand, the EarFun's ANC feature does a better job of blocking sounds like the rumbling of engines. They have longer continuous battery life and a more neutral sound profile, which some listeners may prefer.

    Beats Solo Pro

    Track

    The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are better headphones than the Beats Solo Pro. The EarFun have a more comfortable fit, their ANC can block out more bass-range noise like the rumble of bus or plane engines, and their integrated mic does a better job of recording your voice. They also have better battery performance. However, the Beats are better built.

    EarFun Air Pro 2 True Wireless 2021

    Track

    The EarFun Air Pro 2 True Wireless 2021 are the next generation of the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless, but the predecessor performs better overall. The first-gen have a more comfortable and stable fit, their ANC can block out more ambient noise around you, and their continuous battery life is longer. However, the second generation have better controls. Their carrying case also has more additional charges, and the case supports Qi wireless charging.
