Each line counts only the channels who covered both products. On each topic it counts those of them who discussed it for each product, so the two numbers can differ. These are positive-reception counts, not evidence of preference or equivalence. Counts read EarFun Wave Pro first.
Both sides of every topic, in the same order as the ranking. One voice per channel, only from channels counted on that side; those with no disclosed tie to the brand come first.
“So the thing about mid-range headphones, even at this price range, most of them don't come with a carrying case just like the Soundpeats Space that we recently looked at”
“In conclusion, the Earfun Wave Pro active noise-cancelling headphones offer incredible value. Priced at $79 and currently available for $59 on Amazon, these headphones provide high-quality ANC, excellent sound, and a long battery life that…”
None of the 29 channels here had a problem with it.
More from both sides (3 more quotes)
“if you can live with the fact that the only thing I feel like you're giving up is having smart sensors on these pair of headphones I feel like you're getting very very impressive noise cancellation mixed with really impressive battery life…”
“you can probably pick these up for around 59 pound on Amazon UK. I think that represents a really good deal given the package that you're getting including that hard case”
“that impression of relative silence is temporally broken by some hissing when you power on the device especially with ANC on. But thankfully anything above like 15% volume will overpower that effect.”
“And for the ANC, we put the earfun into tier B, close to the Sony WH 1000 XM4, which is in tier A, but only when it comes to the voices and high end, but the earfun Wave Pro just lets in a bit more low end.”
“Now, these Earfun Wave Pros do a really great job at both, but the Sony XM4s really just are one of the industry standards for active noise cancellation and it's really hard to beat.”
“At the same time you can still have the vocals clearly cutting through and hearing more higher end instruments as well and those high notes come out impressively crisp and clear but without sounding shrill or tinny.”
No quotable complaint among the 3 who objected. A quote has to be found in the video’s captions, state a clear verdict and come from a review rather than a setup guide. Hear them at the moment they raised it:
“As soon as you put these on, it's like putting on two pairs of pillows. Very lightweight and extremely comfortable over the ears with that memory foam.”
“Like adding the auto play and pause. I absolutely love that on any pair of headphones, even earbuds for that matter, when you take them off your head, they pause, when you put them back on, they commence.”
“just be aware if you do plug these in and are going to use these wired it will shut the headphones off automatically and it will disable a lot of things you're just going to be able to listen to music when these are wired”
“It did knock it out. I still feel it, but I don't hear it. So the mics are working fantastic when it comes to wind noise reduction or cancelling altogether.”
“The EarFun again did very well and again it's a natural sounding transparency mode without the addition of white noise. I won't say there's necessarily a standout here, and it does come down to personal preference, but I felt the EarFun at…”

EarFun Wave Pro channels and sources
Every channel counted on this page, most-watched first — the one you have
already seen is probably near the top. Thumbnails open the video on YouTube.
One channel, one vote per topic. A channel who makes six points about sound counts
once, so the numbers measure reception rather than talkativeness. Specifications and stated
personal preferences are excluded; only assessments and direct comparisons count. A topic
appears only where at least eight channels discussed it.
Split means a channel’s praise and criticism of a topic cancelled out. They
count in the total and on neither side.
We have not tested this product. Counts describe channels with eligible assessments. Selected quotations link to their located caption passage. 9 of the 46 were sponsored by EarFun or got a free unit from them, and 9 more disclosed a paid promotion or an ad. Each is marked wherever they are quoted, and the summary shows every verdict with and without them.
No disclosed relationship is the subset without a recorded sponsorship, gifted-unit
classification or generic paid-promotion marker. Unrelated ads can be labelled separately;
affiliate disclosures are not comprehensively audited by this table. Missing arrangements
remain unknown. This subset does not prove independence or a sponsorship effect.
Selected quotations are located in saved captions. Location is distinct from semantic support,
product attribution and model checks; it is not comprehensive human review.
These public editorial pages take no affiliate commission or sponsorship. Commissioned reports
are a separate paid service. Page generated from saved observations, not newly collected reviews.
A commissioned report scopes the products, questions and available evidence with your team. It can distinguish recurring observations, meaningful exceptions and open questions.
