With so many choices ranging over several price points, the wireless earbud market is highly competitive. By offering reasonably priced, feature-rich options, EarFun has established a market of its own.
The EarFun Air Pro 4, their most recent product, promises to pair reasonably priced earphones with cutting-edge technologies. Comprising Qualcomm’s QCC3091 SoC, aptX Lossless Audio, LDAC Codec, and more, these earbuds seek to appeal to both casual users and enthusiasts. Do they, then, live up to that promise? Let us now dive into a detailed review.
Design and Build Quality
The EarFun Air Pro 4’s elegant, minimalist design catches your eye first. Black in color, the earbuds have an incredibly small, ergonomic fit meant to remain appealing over a long time. The IPX5 water and sweat resistance guarantees they can manage light rain or perspiration without any problems, regardless of your distance or intensity of exercise session. A major benefit for long-term use is the earbuds’ lightweight and comfortable fit in the ears that avoid tiredness.
Though small, the casing carries a significant battery life power capacity. It feels strong in the hand and is really portable. Given the price range of the earbuds, which fits easily under $100, the general build quality seems expensive. EarFun Air Pro 4 stands out with a design that mixes style and utility, even if a few competitors have a more elegant finish.
Sound Quality
The 10mm composite dynamic drivers of the EarFun Air Pro 4 define its performance significantly. These drivers can create a sound profile that fits a variety of musical tastes. These earphones are a great choice for bass-heavy genres including hip-hop and EDM since bass is punchy without being overwhelming. Mids and highs are sharp, hence vocalists and instruments keep clarity without becoming drowned out.
Including aptX Lossless Audio and LDAC Codec compatibility distinguishes these earphones from other low-cost options. Particularly when used with a device capable of delivering lossless audio, these technologies guarantee you’re getting high-fidelity sound. Though some may find it necessary to adjust the treble for a really balanced sound, audiophiles will value the complex audio. For those who like to customize their listening experience, the EarFun Audio App’s simple EQ adjustment capability is a great feature.
Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
One of the standout features of the EarFun Air Pro 4 is its QuietSmart 3.0 adaptive noise cancellation technology. With the ability to cancel up to 50dB of external noise, these earbuds are excellent for use in noisy environments like public transport or bustling city streets. The QuietSmart system adjusts to your surroundings in real time, making the experience seamless and intuitive.
Users can also manually select from different noise cancellation modes via the app—high, low, or adaptive—depending on their needs. While the high mode blocks out the majority of ambient noise, some users have noted that the lower modes don’t always make a significant difference.
In addition to noise cancellation, the Transparency Mode allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds. This feature is handy for situations where you need to be aware of your environment, such as while crossing streets or having brief conversations. The transition between modes is smooth and doesn’t disrupt the listening experience.
Call Quality
Powered by an artificial intelligence system and cVc™ 8.0 technology for maximum voice clarity, EarFun equipped the Air Pro 4 with an amazing six-microphone configuration. This mix guarantees that, even in very noisy surroundings, your voice will be clearly heard on calls. Our tests revealed excellent call quality with little background noise interrupting conversations. The EarFun Air Pro 4 guarantees you stay connected without any hiccups whether you’re on the road answering business calls or informal conversations.
Connectivity and Latency
Providing quick and stable connections, the EarFun Air Pro 4 supports Bluetooth 5.4. The multi-device connectivity—which enables users to switch seamlessly between two devices—is among the attractions. Those who regularly switch between their phone and laptop or tablet will especially find this helpful.
The ultra-low latency mode—which reduces latency to around 50ms—is another notable feature. Gamers and individuals who consume a lot of video content will find this ideal since it reduces the latency between audio and pictures, therefore improving the experience.
Auracast™ and LE Audio functionality is only accessible via a future firmware upgrade, though. While some consumers may be waiting for capabilities that rival earbuds currently have, EarFun’s history points that they will provide the promised upgrade.
Battery Life and Charging
The EarFun Air Pro 4 has exceptional battery life. On a single charge, the earbuds run 11 hours of playback time; the charging case adds 41 hours, therefore providing 52 hours total. You should anticipate using it continuously for about eight hours before needing to recharge even with noise cancellation turned on.
Perfect for users on the go, the earbuds also enable fast charging and give two hours of music with just a 10-minute charge. The case supports wireless charging, therefore enhancing the convenience and making the EarFun Air Pro 4 a complete package for users who give long-lasting battery life first priority.
Verdict
At a reasonable price, the EarFun Air Pro 4 punches above its weight to provide an outstanding mix of features and performance. These earbuds are perfect for both casual listeners and audiophiles on a budget as aptX Lossless Audio and LDAC Codec powers high-quality music, strong noise cancellation, and a dependable 6-mic configuration for calls.
Although the absence of Auracast™and LE Audio compatibility at launch is a minor letdown, the anticipated firmware upgrade should provide much more value to a gadget already loaded with features. The EarFun Air Pro 4 is an excellent choice in its price category for people seeking a robust pair of wireless earbuds with long battery life, superb sound, and superior noise canceling.
