What reviewers said

EarFun Free Pro

The EarFun Free Pro are compact, lightweight true wireless earbuds that pack a surprisingly robust feature set for their modest price. They combine hybrid active noise cancellation, wireless charging, and an IPX5 rating with a punchy, bass-forward sound that suits active listening. While they offer solid value and good battery life, their ANC and transparency modes are merely adequate, and the lack of an app or multipoint support may deter some users.

  • Pro:Affordable price with premium features
  • Pro:Compact and lightweight design
  • Pro:Good battery life with wireless charging case
  • Con:ANC and transparency modes are not very effective
  • Con:No app support or custom EQ
  • Con:No multipoint Bluetooth connection

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro

The OPPO Enco Air5 Pro are true wireless earbuds with 12mm drivers and hybrid active noise cancellation, offering a versatile listening experience. Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint connectivity, and IP55 water resistance make them practical for daily use.

  • Pro:Supports high-quality LHDC codec
  • Con:No wireless charging, only USB-C
