What reviewers said

EarFun Free Pro 3

The EarFun Free Pro 3 are compact true wireless earbuds that deliver a robust feature set for their price, including hybrid ANC, aptX Adaptive support, wireless charging, and multipoint connectivity. They offer strong, well-rounded audio performance and solid battery life, though real-world endurance may be slightly less than advertised and call quality is merely average. Comfort is decent but not the best in EarFun's lineup, making them a versatile choice for Android users seeking value.

  • Pro:Hybrid ANC and transparency mode included
  • Pro:Wireless charging and multipoint connectivity
  • Con:Battery life falls short of official claims
  • Con:Call quality is only average
