“Q35s still sound overall better. They still get louder, still have a little bit more bass, equing these still a little bit better.”

“these are using 40 mm diamond like carbon dynamic drivers and I kept switching back and forth between these and my Beats Studio Pros and I was very impressed at how similar these were when it came to a sound signature”

“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.”

“and do take note that the headphones also won't have any controls when you use it plugged in, so no controls, no ANC and no mic as well.”

“There's never been one that allows you to really customize most of its control buttons.”

“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”

“So there is no official water resistance rating on these headphones and it's frankly not meant to be used with water around, so do keep this unit dry as best as you can.”

“The wave pro I'll tell you what reminds me a whole lot of something like the One More Sonoflow in that it takes a whole bunch of value added features and then encapsulates them in a very solid well made body.”

“not gonna lie, it still feels a bit like they cheaped out on the quality of plastic used in the Wave Pro's construction. It feels a bit brittle”

“Overall I would say the build quality punches way above what they're charging for it.”

“to be honest, this is the worst part about the Earfun Wave Pro. There's definitely not as much pass-through as most competing models”

“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…”

“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.”

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:

“First of all, these are super lightweight. Now if you're one of these people that don't like big heavy headphones, or you're somebody that's going to be wearing these for long trips or long periods of time, you're going to love these.”

“all the way to its balanced non fatiguing sound, it all feels like that the guiding principle of the ear fun team during the product development process was long-term comfort.”

“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.”

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.

Is this your product, or a rival’s?

Commission a report on your product and the competitors relevant to your question, with reviewer recommendations, comparisons and trade-offs supported by quotations and timestamped links.

Share your product, relevant rivals and a question. We assess review coverage, then reply with what it can support and a scope to discuss.
