Our Verdict

EarFun Free Truly Wireless

EarFun Air Pro True Wireless

The EarFun Air Pro True Wireless are better for most uses than the EarFun Free Truly Wireless. The Air Pro have better build quality, better controls, an impressive noise isolation performance, and a longer continuous battery life. They also have a more neutral sound profile, which some listeners may prefer. On the other hand, the Free have a more bass-rich sound, which may please fans of genres like EDM and hip-hop. They also leak much less audio at high volumes.
