EarFun Free Pro - OE

This is as close to the Fiil T1 Pro as we are going to get in the US. I had the Fiil T1X and T1XS previously and was hoping to get T1 Pros for the noise cancelling. Apparently Fill will not be marketing them here, but Earfun is selling them instead. The downside is apparently no app for EQ controls and other features...honestly that is nice but not really necessary. They sound great - crisp and clear. The definite upside is that the controls are more sensible than the typical Fiil controls one tap for vol up/down, depending on the ear , much like jlabs or soundpeats.Compared to the Fiil T1X and T1XS, these are smaller and the fits is sooo much better, which is a surprise in itself as they fit well. I can almost forget they are there...Additionally, these ship with Bluetooth 5.2, which future proofs them to some extent with the phone coming out in 2021 - eg, the QC 888 will have 5.2. Whether the phones or these buds will be able to do things like share one audio stream with multiple pairs of buds...who can say - I am still rocking a pixel 4xl...Three relatively minor downsides - there is no previous track choice - this is occupied by NC/be aware/normal switching. The second is that these don't work very well...honestly in my office I couldn't tell it was doing anything at all. Maybe on a plane it would be different, but I don't have any experience with that. However, compared to my jlabs air ANC and Soundcore Space NC these don't compare. Finally, I think the Earfun logo is pretty cheesy compared to the refined Fiil logo, but that personal preference and you might feel differently. Maybe someone will ask about them because of the logo and I'll be able to lead them to a pair of buds a fraction of the cost of the $100-200 buds that really offer very little more in comparison.Did I say they are very comfortable? I can hardly tell they are there. For the comfort, the sound, and the price, this is an excellent choice! Show Full Review

I wanted to take a few days to really evaluate these buds before I gave a review. I am by no means an audiophile, I am a budgetophile (regular person who wants the best bang for my buck), so take from this what you will...

Overall sound: These buds produce great sound. The sound is crisp, clear and immersive. I am not a base head, but these buds have a good bass. I love being able to hear the instrument separation and these buds do it for me. For me, they are loud. I usually listen to music or video at 65% and with these buds, I listen at like 30 to 40% in a quiet enivronment. I said wow when I played music with them for the first time. I have other budget buds, like the Soundpeats trueshift 2, the Mpow M30 and the JLab Air go. These buds have the best overall sound straight out of the box.

Phone calls: The phone calls were great in a quiet environment. At first, I got muffled complaints, but I realized I had to twist the buds up so that the mic was not resting on my ear. After the adjustment, I was told the call was clear and sounded no different then using my phone. Never had an issue hearing my callers. Voices are clear. Haven't tested in a noisy environment, but when I do, I will update my review.

Comfort: These buds are small, compact and light weight. I put them in and have worn them for a few hours at a time. Never got any ear fatigue. Do I still feel them, yes, (they are in ear buds), but they are not uncomfortable for me. Out of the box, the buds fit well. They stay in my ear while bending over cleaning and were low profile enough to not worry while showering with them (they have water resistance). These buds will stay put will working out. I have worn them laying down on either side and they don't dig into my ear. I can get away with wearing them and no one noticing with my hair long, so there's that.

Noise cancelling: Yes, noise cancelling works. Tested it in a room with a child talking and in a car with a child and the radio on low. Could not hear the child or the radio. Also, tested on my balcony living near an expressway ramp. The buds cancel out like 75 to 80% of the car noise. Is it the best, no. I could still hear some road noise, but barely. Ambient works well. I turned it on in the car with the kid and the radio and could hear both along with the track I was playing, very clearly. Also tested on the balcony and I could hear a lot more road noise.

Controls: They work well. I think there is a slight delay when going volume up or down. Sometimes the buds registered my tripple tap as a double and paused instead of changing the noise canceling feature, but I am still testing to see if that is user error.

Functionality and battery: Never tested the wireless charging, sue me. I am someone who uses cords and has no issue with that. All the USB C cables I've used had charged the case with no issues. All other functions work as designed. Paired easily out of the box. No issues using in mono mode with a single bud. It is worth noting that you can go track forward with a tripple tap, but not back. Why though, Earfun? Battery life was adequate for me. I wore them for a few hours at a time, listening to Youtube, music and talking calls. I can't remember if there is a quick charge feature for the buds, but I place them back in the case when not in use and have yet to drain them to 0%.

Cons: I noticed when taking off a shirt while wearing them or rolling over on to one, the buds seemed to go in and out like they were struggling. Happen a couple times, not a deal breaker for me, but worth noting. I also wish the voices were pushed more forward. I like to hear the voices in music a little more strongly.

Overall value: Would I buy them again? Yes. These ear buds are as advertised. At $48 to $60 (current pricing), you can't really beat them. They feel and sound like they are more expensive then they are priced. I got them at the presale price and they were worth every single reward point spent. I don't own the airpods pro, but if you are looking for a backup or replacement pair, you won't be dissapointed. I love them. These are the budget, great all around buds that I was looking for.

I've gone through sooo many different earbuds (Jabra and Raycon to provide some type of comparison) trying to find a pair that embodied noise cancelling, not falling out of my ear, not sticking out too far, can be used independently, decent battery...basically wireless Bluetooth earbuds that behave like wired ones.

I have very noisy work surroundings and wanted buds specifically for work. The ANC...everyone can hear me clearly. I've not had any complaints. No more 'What?' 'Say that again.' Broooo that is so aggravating, especially since I don't like repeating myself. You have to make sure they're snug as a bug in your ears though.

The battery life is the best I've ever experienced. I can do 80-ish percent of an 8 hour shift with 1 bud, not having to charge it. Ive talked in the phone 4 hoyes straight and it held its own. With listening to music, I've done a 6 hour shift with 1 bud. No recharging during these times.

An added bonus: THE BASS 🤯 Yoo it's craaazy. I read about it and thought it can't be that great. The people are NOT lying. I couldn't believe how BASS the bass is. For real. It's deep. It's top notch.

They come with ear hooks (and a charging cord and other ear snuggies). I didn't know what the hooks were for or how to use them at first. But they're to aid in keeping the buds snug. They do the job. I bend the hook and push the bud in at an angle and the hook hooks in the part of my ear that's beside my ear hole. (I didn't know how else to describe it 🤷🏽‍♀️)

The connectivity: 👌🏽 I feel like I'm able to walk a decent ways away from my phone and they stay connected. I'm bad at guesstimating but the manual says (I think) 49 feet without objects being in the midst and you'll still be able to hear.

Oh- I also don't feel like they're overly touch sensitive. I've had ones that I barely brush the touch area and they hang up. The controls for music and phone use aren't complicated either, which is good for my memory 🤭

I'm soo happy I found these. I had an issue with the first pair and contacted their customer service. They're A-1. I'm all around pleased. I'll definitely purchase another pair when these kick the bucket (hopefully that won't be any time soon 😂). Show Full Review

I've had these headphones for a few weeks now, and still every time I put them on I'm blown away by the sound quality. I was initially drawn to these due to the good reviews and the unique physical design. The small size with the interchangeable wing tips looked like they would stay in the ears well, and they do indeed stay in very well, without causing ear cartilage strain.

The sound quality is simply superb. They create a wide and deep sound stage, with crisp mids and highs. People say that they have a strong bass response, and I have to agree to an extent - it definitely has the capacity to create a rumble, going deep and with sustained excursion, but it doesnt muddle the sound at all. In tracks with little bass response, there is no inappropriate low end rumbling. You can go from listening to Queen to Liquid Stranger (EDM) and not miss a bit of the full experience of either genre. After using these headphones for a while, I went back and tried my old favorite set, the taotronics soundelite 71 (bluetooth with a cord) - these other headphones support AptX HD, yet the earfun free pro sound 10x better all across the frequency range. These are my new favorite headphones by far. The AAC codec it uses is entirely transparent while listening to youtube music at high quality, which is 256kbps AAC. Even though the actual bluetooth audio signal is transcoded from the source, I dont hear any compression artifacts whatsoever in the sound. Better than any wired earbuds I've tried as well.

The noise cancelling works well for canceling out continuous tones, such as the drone of your car rolling down the road (although I wouldnt advise driving with these in, not safe - just a test I did). They dont cancel out dynamic sounds such as random background talking as well, although it does muffle it a bit. The isolation of the oval-shaped ear tips alone create a tight sound seal, so the ANC just blocks the really intrusive bits. Probably would be great for an airplane trip. The ambient sound mode is kind of worthless though, it only really picks up and adds continuous tones that would otherwise be cancelled by ANC, like the hum of a fan. It wont help you hear people trying to talk to you, for example. But this is pretty typical for basic electronic active noise cancelling, its much better at cancelling continuous tones.

The low latency mode also works pretty well, it seems to cut the latency by about half. I havent really had to use it though, except with my fire stick using kodi. Most android apps these days have code that measures the latency to the headphone device (or estimates it somehow) and adjusts the audio/video sync to compensate. Youtube, netflix etc. will do this automatically.

The touch playback controls work well, I would suggest making the taps faster to get a better response. There is no last track function, but that doesnt matter to me. I like the double tap to play and pause, and single tap to raise/lower volume, works better than other headphones where you accidentally pause the music by brushing the headphones. The volume increments are also small, so an accidental adjustment isnt going to blow out your eardrum.

Call quality is excellent, both for hearing the other party and the other party hearing you. I made some recordings from the headset and its definitely the best bluetooth microphone quality I've encountered. Strikingly though, somehow the quality of hearing the other party is MUCH better than other bluetooth earbuds I've used. It sounds natural, almost "HD" rather than the scratchy, low bitrate sound of other earbuds. This is interesting because all bluetooth earbuds use the same protocol for calls, with a low bitrate- so the engineers behind these (Fiil) tuned something really well.

The selection of ear tips and wings was nice, there are 4 total sizes of ear tip and 2 wing sizes, along with 1 silicone strip that goes in place of the wing if you'd prefer to not have it. It stays in better than any other in-ear buds I've tried, and theyre so small!

Battery life estimate of 6-7 hours seems accurate, although I havent specifically tried to measure it. The charging case is nice and small as well, easily pocketable. Just dont lose it! Show Full Review

TLDR: If you found these, and you're looking for earbuds in the sub ($150?) range, buy these now. You won't be disappointed.

For the review: I've used many types of earbuds, Bluetooth earphones, etc over the years and these are the best and yet most affordable ones there are at the time of this writing.

In the pictures, the first one show you the case sizes, with the JBL Tune 120TWS (Large) at the top, the soundpeats true capsule in the middle (an inner-outer ear type) and the earfun free pro at the bottom. As you can see,the case is very small but very powerful- even letting you get a quick (fast charge) in 15 mins to 80% (I believe).
I bought the soundpeats, thinking that moving the mike closer to my mouth would help with call quality - which it does over the JBLs, but not by much. The Earfuns use CVC8 boise cancelling to isolate your voice for the caller - making these impressive earbuds for those of us on the phone a lot.
Bluetooth 5.2 "future proofs" it for a few years- and you get an 18 month warranty!
And the fit is wonderful- they fit right out of the box and are the most comfortable earbuds of any sort I've ever worn - and they don't move at all - even when I vigorously shake my head.
ANC works, with ambient sound being awesome so you can hear your surroundings.
*Both* earbuds are able to be used individually for those of us that like to wear one so we can here with the other.
The conn's (because there are always some trade-offs): ANC isn't the best, but for these little guys I'm impressed.if you actually need true noise cancelation I would look at over the ear offerings.
I also wish that they were at least ipx6 waterproof- but you can't have everything (although Earfun gets you close to it here).
I love these ear buds, they are small,light,unobtrusive (don't stick out of my ears at all),sound FANTASTIC (like a symphony in my head), and have great battery life. Seriously,save yourself the heartbreak of loosing one of your $300 Bose earbuds and buy 6 of these - or just use the other one when you loose one. I was confused by a of the options out there and did some pretty extensive research before giving these a try - and that's what it was- a try. Now I'm keeping them and bragging to my friends!
They even charge wirelessly! Show Full Review
