EarFun Wave Pro - Oat White

Edit: company contacted me and made it right. Very happy with their service and their commitment to their product. Looking forward to them working out the kinks of these head phones and seeing what else they come out with.

I really wanted to love these, but from the get go I have had issues with their connectivity over bluetooth. At times it works great, but most of the time, they lose connection with my Google Pixel 8 phone and when they are connected, they blip in and out when its not losing the connection completely. I have tried updating the firmware on the head phones and restarting everything multiple times, but they still have issues connecting.

Besides that, the comfort is great, the noise cancelling could be better but for the price point, I think the quality (when they work) is pretty decent. Show Full Review

I have a set of Bose headphones that are so old and needed to be replaced, but I didn’t have $300 to purchase a replacement pair. I saw these and thought I would give them a try. They’re great the battery less five times longer than the battery on my Bose headphones and the sound canceling is just as good. Show Full Review

I've had these headphones for a couple of months now and they're definitely better than I ever expected them to be - especially for the price. I bought these to replace my Cowin SE8 headphones (the earpads on my SE8s had started to deteriorate and I couldn't find replacements for them that looked decent or were easy to replace).

While I'm not an audiophile I've had some pretty shitty headphones and know good from bad.
- SOUND: good sound balance overall and the bass in particular is good
- MIC: I'm on work video calls and host livestreams and the mic is pretty good for being built-in - it's not a professional streaming mounted mic, but it does the job for my video calls and is clear without picking up tons of background noise (and I don't sound like I'm underwater, or in a tunnel). The mic on my SE8s was definitely better, but I'm not unhappy with the mic on these headphones, it is sufficient.
- ANC: the noise cancelling is pretty good - I've traveled a lot the past couple of months and I find the "noise cancelling" option to be the best for blocking out all the hustle and bustle while on planes and in airports (there are two other modes: "normal" and "ambient sound" but neither IMHO provide great NC)
- BATTERY: the battery life on these is really good, I've gone an entire day with these on and they still have lots of juice left (I listen to music or am on calls for 90% of my working day, so a solid 8 hours with no low battery warnings). I'm not sure how long to they would go without a charge as I'm usually plugging them in overnight, but I've haven't run out of battery so far.
- HEADBAND COMFORT: The headband gets heavy and presses down hard on the top of my head after many hours of wear. I've tried adjusting it so that the band is off my head but then that puts weight on my ears and isn't as comfy. All this to say, this takes HOURS and HOURS to happen. I think the only way to solve this is to make the earphone parts lighter overall. This is not a dealbreaker for me as it takes many hours for this to happen and I just take a break.

Overall these are pretty comparable to my former SE8s but for about 1/2 the cost. While I'd like them to be a bit more comfortable I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat as the pros outweigh the cons. Show Full Review

I have been using earbuds for a long time but I found that they irritate my ear canals in long uses, so I decided to ditch them for over the ear headphones.

My Thoughts on the Earfun Wave Pro:
1- They are extremely comfortable. The muffs are super soft and hopefully will also be long lasting.
2- Amazed at the sound quality vs earbuds. There is a simple rule that larger diameter drivers will produce superior sound. These have 40mm drivers (1.5") vs about 7mm (0.25") on earbuds, hence they feel like you are listening to large speakers. Very rich and detailed sound.
3- The best sound is achieved with the LDAC on and paired with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Really impressive when paired with my phone. If you have the newest phones, from the past couple of years, and your audio source can output high quality sound, you are golden.
4- Equally good sound when paired with my laptop or tablet. IMO, phones are just setup to deliver a better sound, where laptops and tablets aren’t. The limitation is with laptops and tablets.
5- Lots of options for customization and many features. I am sharing three pages of the user manual to give a better overview. There is full EQ bar to adjust plus many presets. I found setting my own EQ worked better for my taste.
6- The power on/off button is called a multi-function button (MFB), because it does much more than just turning the headphones on and off. Refer to the manual.
7- Don’t consider buying headphones without noise cancelling. The ANC enhances the listening pleasure.
8- I have it connected to 3 devices and the headphone looks for pairing automatically. I didn’t need to press the MFB to connect or pair.
9- The headphones come with a hard case. Some cans much more expensive don’t have hard cases, so this is a huge plus.
10- They have a premium look and feel.
11- Earfun offers a 2-year warranty. Show Full Review

Understand that I paid $60 for these headphones, and I feel like these are easily comparable to units in the $100-$200 price range. Don’t expect Bose sound quality or extreme noice cancelling like AirPod Pro’s. But you are getting some very good sounding headphones with OK noice cancelling in an extremely appealing package.

They do provide two “levels” of noice cancellation… a Strong and Comfort setting. Both do fine; I’ve read a few reviews that the Strong setting sets off headaches for some users after prolonged use but this doesn’t seem to be the case for me. Even on the Strong ANC setting, you can still hear the outside world a bit. Enough to make out that someone is talking nearby, or wind chimes on my porch for example. But the sound is definitely stifled to a point that it is less intrusive on your music or phone conversation. Again, these are $60, not $360.

I actually love the “ambient sound” setting on the ANC which is a pass-thru for the sounds around you. This makes it easy to hear your surroundings in the case that you’re at home and need to hear your children, or at work and want to be able to have a conversation with a coworker without removing the headphones. This setting works great and is what I leave mine on 90% of the time.

Audio quality is great. The custom EQ guides you through some sound test settings and the result was a mix that has good bass and quality mids for the type of music that I listen to.

Phone calls are clear and the microphones must work well as all my callers have said they can hear me fine as well. I have my set connected to my phone and computer simultaneously which is very convenient. Whenever I turn the headphones on they immediately connect to both devices as long as they are on and nearby. I’ve had no problems switching between phone calls on the phone to Teams meetings on the computer, then back to music from my phone.

Finally, the headphones have a quality feel to them… the ear pads and top head pad are both soft and seal well. The adjustable sides click positively and stay in place while putting them on or taking them off. And the carry case was a nice added bonus; it is quality as well. Only complaint here is that the buttons to adjust volume or accept calls are a bit loud in your ear when clicked.

Overall, I challenge you to find a better over-ear headset for the price. If you’re budget conscious or on the fence about over-ears, this is the perfect set for you. Show Full Review
