EarFun Air Pro 2 True Wireless 2021 Headphones Review

The EarFun Air Pro 2 are in-ear headphones with a more similar look to the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro Truly Wireless than the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless since they have a smooth, streamlined design, rather than angular stems. They have a glossy finish on their touch-sensitive surface and stems. They only come in one color variant: Black.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a decently comfortable fit. They're lightweight and don't enter your ear very deeply. It also doesn't hurt your ear to register commands using their touch-sensitive controls. However, they could pop out of your ears while you're talking, which is a little annoying.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have good controls. They have a touch-sensitive surface on each earbud that's easier to locate than the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless. Unlike the previous generation, they also have volume controls, and you can even skip tracks backward in addition to forward. There are voice prompts when you turn the headphones on and off as well as when pairing them. There are also voice prompts when switching between ANC on, off, and transparency mode, while beeps let you know when you've activated voice assistant. However, some users may find the controls a bit unintuitive right off the bat.

On the left earbud:

• One tap: Lowers volume.
• Triple tap: Skips the track backward.
• Tap and hold for two seconds: Cycles between ANC, ambient sound, which allows you to hear your surroundings without pausing your audio, and ANC off.

On the right earbud:

• One tap: Raises volume.
• Triple tap: Skips the track forward.
• Tap and hold for two seconds: Activates voice assistant.

On either earbud:

• Double tap: Plays or pauses audio. Also answers a call.
• Triple tap: Allows you to answer and transfer to a new call while you're already on a call. You can also use this command to switch back to the previous call.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 are very breathable, which is to be expected for in-ear headphones. They don't trap much heat against your ear, and you shouldn't sweat more than usual, even if you're wearing them during more strenuous workouts.

These headphones are incredibly portable, thanks to their truly wireless in-ear design. Their small design should easily fit in most pockets or bags without an issue.

The carrying case is decent. It's made of hard plastic but feels a bit cheap, and the lid is really thin and wobbly. There's a small indicator light on the front of the case to let you know the battery life.

The EarFun Air Pro 2's build quality is good. They're mostly made of plastic and feel like they should survive a couple of accidental drops without taking too much damage. They're also certified IPX5 for protection against water exposure such as rain. However, the carrying case feels a bit cheap, and its lid is a bit flimsy.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have decent stability. They should stay in your ears during more casual listening sessions, but they may pop out of your ears when you're talking. They also lack stability fins to help improve their fit when you're moving.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a fairly neutral sound profile. They have a slight bump of bass that adds extra thump, rumble, and boom to your mixes. However, it shouldn't overwhelm vocals and lead instruments too much. On the downside, they lack an EQ or presets, so you can't adjust their sound to your liking.

Note: There's a slight discrepancy between the left and right driver in the raw frequency response graphs due to how the files were processed. However, all other graphs are correct, and this difference shouldn't be audible to most users.

The frequency response consistency is outstanding. As long as you achieve a proper fit, you should get consistent bass and treble delivery each time you use them.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have excellent bass accuracy. The response is slightly overemphasized across the range, but it's fairly flat. Your mixes have a touch of extra thump, body, and boom.

These in-ears have excellent mid accuracy. The range is fairly flat and neutral, although a dip in the mid to high-mid can weaken and slightly nudge vocals as well as lead instruments to the back of your mixes.

The EarFun Air Pro 2's treble accuracy is outstanding. The range is very neutral, so vocals and lead instruments are present and detailed. Sibilants like cymbals are also bright.

The EarFun Air Pro 2's peaks and dips performance is excellent. Most of the response is fairly flat, although a dip in the mid to high-mid slightly nudges vocals and lead instruments to the back of the mix and weakens them. A couple of minor peaks in the low-treble can help keep these sounds present and detailed in your mixes though while another peak in the mid-treble adds brightness to sibilants like S and T sounds.

The EarFun Air Pro 2's imaging performance is fantastic. The group delay falls below the audibility threshold, resulting in tight bass and transparent treble reproduction. Our unit's L/R drivers are also extremely well-matched in frequency, amplitude, and phase response, which is important for the localization of objects in the stereo image. Note that these results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a bad passive soundstage, which is to be expected from in-ear headphones. By design, they completely bypass your outer ear, which needs to be activated by sound resonances to create a more out-of-head and speaker-like soundstage. As a result, their soundstage doesn't seem very immersive, open, or spacious.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a great weighted harmonic distortion performance. There's a small peak between the high-mid to low-treble in the right driver at high volumes. However, this can be very hard to hear with real-life content. Most other frequencies fall within good levels, resulting in fairly clear and pure audio reproduction.

These are the settings used to test these headphones. Our results are only valid when using these settings.

The EarFun Air Pro 2's noise isolation performance is satisfactory. Like the EarFun Air Pro True Wireless, they have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system, but it doesn't perform as well as that of their predecessor. They can cut down a satisfactory amount of bass-range noise like the low rumble of bus and plane engines. They can also block out mid-range noise like office chatter, although they do a better job of reducing the high-pitched hum of AC units. That said, if you're looking for in-ears with a better noise isolation performance, check out the EarFun Air Pro 3 True Wireless instead.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a good leakage performance. Leakage is mostly concentrated in the treble range, and escaping audio sounds thin. However, it shouldn't be too noticeable unless you're listening to audio at high volumes in a quiet environment.

The integrated mic has a fair recording quality. Your voice sounds natural, although lacking in body and detail. However, people shouldn't have too much of an issue understanding you.

The microphone's noise handling performance is okay. Your voice can be drowned out by moderate ambient noise, which can make it harder for whoever's on the other end of the line to understand you clearly.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have a decent battery performance. They're advertised to last six hours continuously with their ANC on, and we measured a similar amount. Their carrying case also holds roughly four additional charges, and you can use one bud while the other is charging. The headphones turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity, and the manufacturer claims that you can get two hours of playtime with only ten minutes of charging. However, battery life can vary depending on usage, so your real-life experience may differ.

The 2021 variant of these earbuds don't have companion app support, the but 2023 model does If you have the 2023 model, you can access a low latency 'Game Mode', graphic EQ, and presets, and button mapping as well as access product tutorials and an FAQ.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 have fair Bluetooth connectivity. Unfortunately, unlike the Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 True Wireless, they don't support multi-device pairing. They also have high latency on PCs. However, they have lower latency on iOS and Android devices, which is nice if you like to stream video. However, some apps and devices compensate for latency differently, meaning you may experience different results.

These in-ears are Bluetooth-only, and you can only use them wirelessly. They come with a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging their carrying case.

These headphones can connect to Bluetooth-enabled PCs with full audio and mic compatibility. However, you can't connect them to your computer in any other way.

The EarFun Air Pro 2 come with a carrying case that holds roughly four additional charges. It supports Qi wireless charging and has a USB-C input so that you can charge the case using the included cable.
