Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Sound and ANC performance punch well above the price. Multiple users say the sound quality and noise cancelling rival or beat much more expensive earbuds, including AirPods Pro and higher-priced competitors. Owners of other EarFun models still picked these as leaps ahead of costlier buds they'd tried, and long-term users report the sound and function holding up reliably after months or close to a year of use.

No companion app remains the most persistent frustration. Several commenters flag the missing app as the biggest gap, limiting EQ adjustment and customization compared to rivals like the Soundcore Life P3. One person actually prefers no app to keep costs down, but others call it a disappointment that EarFun still hasn't addressed after a prior generation, and see it as the buds' biggest unresolved weakness.

Fit and connection quirks divide users. Some find the buds fit securely and stay in during activity, but others report shallow seating, poor seal, or ear pain, with one person needing aftermarket eartips for a proper fit. A design flaw is also noted: earbuds can't reconnect after a Bluetooth drop without the case, and there's no off button, forcing the case to always be carried as backup.
