The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are truly wireless in-ears with an impressive noise cancelling feature. They're comfortable, stable, and have a good battery life, as they last for more than nine hours on a single charge. Their sound profile is somewhat v-shaped and should suit a variety of audio content and genres. Unfortunately, they don't have an app that gives you access to an EQ or presets, and their touch controls aren't the most intuitive, either.
Our Verdict
The EarFun Air Pro are good for neutral sound. They have a somewhat v-shaped sound profile. Mixes have extra thump and rumble, and vocals and lead instruments are present and bright, but some may find their sound a bit boomy. They deliver audio very consistently, so they should sound the same each time you wear them. Unfortunately, like all in-ears, they have a bad passive soundstage, so they make music sound like it's coming from inside your head. They also lack an EQ, so you can't adjust the sound profile if you don't like it out-of-the-box.

Unfortunately, their controls can be a bit tricky to use, and the touch-sensitive surfaces aren't the most responsive.

Test Results
These headphones have small rounded earbuds and flat angular stems that come down from your ears. They don't stick out very much from your ears but are a little more noticeable than the EarFun Free Truly Wireless because of the stems.
The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are comfortable headphones. They feel light and don't go too deep into your ear. You can use the touch controls on each bud without hurting your ears as well.
The EarFun Air Pro have mediocre controls. You can double-tap the right bud to play/pause, and triple tap to skip forward to the next track. Double-tapping the left earbud gives you access to the voice assistant, while triple-tapping cycles through ANC, Talk-Through, and Normal modes. You can double-tap either bud to accept an incoming call, or triple tap to reject it. There are voice prompts for power on/off, changing modes, and pairing the headphones. Unfortunately, it can be a bit tricky to tap the right place, and the controls aren't the most responsive. They also don't have volume control or any way to skip backward, which is a little disappointing.
Like most in-ear headphones such as the Wyze Buds Pro Truly Wireless, the EarFun Air Pro are fantastically breathable. They don't trap a lot of heat against your ear, and they shouldn't make you sweat more than usual if you wear them during workouts.
These headphones are incredibly portable, like practically all truly wireless in-ears. They're small and should easily fit in most pockets and bags.
The EarFun Air Pro come with a decent case. It's made of hard plastic but doesn't feel very premium. There's a small light on the back to indicate the remaining battery life of the case, and a light inside that indicates the remaining battery life of the buds when they're inside. The case is small enough to fit inside most pockets, although some truly wireless earbuds, like the TOZO NC2 Truly Wireless and the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Truly Wireless, come with more compact cases.
The EarFun Air Pro have a good build quality. The plastic used for the case feels a bit cheap, but the earbuds are made of plastic that feels quite sturdy. They aren't very heavy, either, and have an IPX5 rating for water resistance, although we don't test it currently.
The EarFun Air Pro have good stability. They should have no trouble staying in your ears during casual listening or workouts. If you're looking for more stable in-ears with stability fins, consider the JBL Live Free NC+ TWS True Wireless.

The EarFun Air Pro have a somewhat v-shaped sound profile. The overemphasized bass range adds rumble and punch, and lead vocals and instruments are bright and present. They should be suitable for a variety of content, but some listeners may find they sound a bit boomy. Unfortunately, unlike the EarFun Air Pro 3 True Wireless, they don't have an EQ you can use to adjust how they sound.
These headphones have fantastic frequency response consistency. Once you get a proper fit, you should get consistent bass and treble delivery each time you use them.
These headphones have impressive bass accuracy. The entire range is overemphasized, which lends extra rumble, thump, and punch to tracks. This may please fans of bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop, but some listeners may find some sounds a bit boomy.
The EarFun Air Pro have incredible mid accuracy. There's a small dip in the mid-mids that nudges lead instruments and vocals back, but the rest of the range is very well-balanced, so they're still present, clear, and accurate.
The EarFun Air Pro have amazing treble accuracy. The low-treble is very neutral, so voices and instruments sound present and detailed. A spike in the mid-treble makes sibilants like S and T sounds and cymbals sound piercing, but it's not too major.
These headphones have excellent peaks and dips performance. There's a peak in the mid to high-bass range, which makes mixes sound warm and punchy but also adds boominess. A dip in the mid-mids nudges vocals and instruments back a bit, while a peak in low-treble helps the detail and articulation of the upper harmonics of these elements. There's also a peak in the mid-treble that makes sibilants, such as S and T sounds and cymbals, sound piercing.
The EarFun Air Pro have an incredible imaging performance. The group delay is below the audibility threshold, which results in a tight bass and transparent treble range. Our unit's L/R drivers were also extremely well-matched, 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 have a bad passive soundstage. Like most in-ear headphones, they don't interact with your outer ear, and so sound seems to be coming from inside your head instead of from all around you. They also have a closed-back design, so the soundstage won't seem as open and spacious as that of semi-open in-ears like the Jabra Elite 85t Truly Wireless, or open-back earbuds like the Bose SoundSport Free Truly Wireless.
The EarFun Air Pro have a great weighted harmonic distortion performance. All frequencies fall within good levels, resulting in clear and pure audio reproduction.
These are the settings we used to test these headphones. Our results are only valid when using these settings.
The EarFun Air Pro have impressive noise isolation. Their ANC feature does a better overall job than that of the second-gen EarFun Air Pro 2 True Wireless. It can block out a lot of bass-range noise compared with their passive noise isolation performance, and it reduces noises like rumbling bus and plane engines. It doesn't block out office-type noises as effectively, but it still does a decent job of isolating you from background chatter and the hum of A/C units. For in-ears with better noise isolation, check out the Anker SoundCore Life P3 Truly Wireless.
These headphones have a good leakage performance. They leak a lot more noise than the EarFun Free Truly Wireless but the audio that escapes sounds thin, and shouldn't be very noticeable unless you're listening at high volumes in a quiet environment.
The EarFun Air Pro's microphone has a decent recording quality. Your voice should be understandable but sounds muffled and thin.
The mic has an okay noise handling performance. If you're calling from a moderately noisy environment, it should be possible for the person on the other end to hear you. However, you may be hard to hear if you're calling from a loud place, like a busy street or subway station.
The EarFun Air Pro have a good battery performance. They last for more than nine hours from a single charge, which is good, although it should be noted that battery life can vary with real-life use, so you may have a different experience. Their case stores about two and a half extra charges and conveniently, you can charge one earbud while listening to music with the other one. There's also a standby mode to conserve power when they aren't being used.
The EarFun Air Pro have alright Bluetooth connectivity. Their latency with iOS and Android should be low enough for watching videos and playing games, but they have higher latency on PCs, so they aren't ideal for playing games on your computer. However, some apps seem to compensate for latency, so may have a different experience.
These are truly wireless headphones that can't be used wired. They come with a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging the case.
