“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…”

“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”

“Very great very good budget headphones if you're looking for a pair to use on a daily basis and you know for traveling or anything like that.”

“I noticed after playing around with these, they sound better, the music quality when you have active noise cancellation turned on.”

“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.”
DHRMEFree unit from EarFunMar 2024at 2:42 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“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:

How this is counted

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.
