Used these with a transmitter on a recent long haul flight. They worked well and I avoided the ear lobe ache from the supplied aircraft headphones. The noise cancelling works well, enough. It does not cut out all ambient noise but it was good enough for a long haul flight. On one flight it lasted almost 9 hours but on the return only 4 - not sure why. I also used it in quite loud road traffic and it was good in that circumstance as well. I am not sure that one can cancel ambient fully, even with 7 mics but it would be an interesting comparison. Anyway, they look and feel good - I managed to sleep with them in on the flights. Show Full Review

Insane sound for the price you pay. Compared to more expensive earbuds, these are up there with some of the best. The app that you can download, it offers a earring test to set the best sound for your earring. Great earbuds and well worth a listen. Show Full Review

Been using for just over a week now and I have to say these are pretty good for the price. I legitimately haven't charged the case once since I bought them and have gotten at least 25 hours so far no problem.
Most importantly, NO HISSING!!! With other earbuds at this price range I'd get a constant "hissing" sound whenever the audio would be engaged and people would just blame it on me "having a high range of hearing" or something, but I'm happy to say that these have no hissing.
The app is fine. It asks for an "account" when you open it but it's easy to skip. Touch controls again but I just disabled them since I don't really like them on any earbuds. The audio passthrough and active noise cancellation seem to be completely useless for me though, but it shouldn't be something at this price range anyway.
The fit is fine. I had some issues initially but they seem to stay in fine now. They have a nice shape to them that fills the ear. My old earbuds (galaxy buds) really jutted out but these are very snug.
I love the material on the case. The feel of it is just amazing.
The only problems I've had with these is that sometimes one side would randomly stop playing audio for a bit, but it seems to happen really rarely, and the app can be a bit slow sometimes. The ear tips that come with it are also of a noticeably low quality, as well as the box being hideous for some reason lol.
I was skeptical to buy a brand I didn't know at this price range but it's turned out to be great. I can't say much to their durability yet but I'll update my review if anything happens in the next few years.
Edit: After using for over a month the only problem is that very rarely the connection drops. We're talking once or twice in a week, and it's usually only one side and it's easily fixed by just disabling and enabling Bluetooth on my phone. The app is okay; a bit slow but I basically never have to open it since all the settings are properly saved Show Full Review

Update from March 2024 - just get better.
So revisiting this set of earbuds now they've had a couple of firmware updates and have done a few tests comparing the capabilities of the buds on a new phone using AptX Adaptive.
First, the bluetooth signal strength and stability to maintain high bitrate in Adaptive mode on these is incredible. Literally i can walk from the front of my house to standing on our back door step (about 7-8 metres through 3 walls) and they're still coping with high bitrate.
My other buds fail (downgrade to low mode) a good couple of meters sooner.
Secondly these sound even better with AptX Adaptive. Using the Olaf boosted EQ profile with a couple tweaks these are so incredibly fun to listen to. Especially if you're into EDM with that classic V profile of thumping bass and lots of treble. These just are so much fun to listen with.
Only downside is the ANC performance is definitely the weakest part of the entire package. THey just don't knock the ambient noise down by as much and the highest pitch sounds like keyboard clacking in an office just don't get pulled out much. So i'd say ANC is a "could do better" but the rest of the package is great

Original review from Oct:
Headline summary -- brilliant bargain
What's in the box:
Earbuds
USB-C 10cm cable
6 sets of tips: Med fitted but 2 smaller and 2 larger sets by the looks of it. Plus a set of foamies loose in the bag separate
3 sets of stablise bands (small, large and flat)
Instructions
Charging case is small and pocket friendly. Less chunky than the Senn MTW3 and similar thickness to Samsung Galaxy FE case but wider
The case opens nice and wide (slightly over 90° open lid) making them easy to get in and out. Features Qi Wireless charging which is a nice feature bizarrely lacking from buds costing 5x the price (Bose looking at you!)
Usual pairing process once you've peeled away the tape blocking the charge ports and let them initialise. Either can be done in-app or just in settings.
App
You can update firmware, customise buttons (both sides indepdent and from a good list of options), EQ, which comes with a bunch of presets including Oluv's natural and boosted EQ's (more later), options for codec (aptx adaptive available), mic options, voice, and a find buds option. Simple and clean app, nice and responsive. Perfectly functional
ANC
I'd say theyr'e probably the worst out of the 3 i've got here but it's still enough to drop white noise down a few dB but it's nowhere near as capable as some more expensive buds. It's definitely passable when out and about. The firmware update you get on launch of the app (0.2.0 at the time) adds a wind-noise feature which seems to be the in-vogue feature.
Fit
Initially used the small tips and large wings and they fit fine but still i find the need for a shallower overall fit to get the best experience for me so i switched to my goto Spinfit CP1025 TWS tips and the buds are immensely comfortable. Almost no pressure in any spot. The wings adds the security but are very soft silicone and flex so they really don't pressure your ears. With the tips switched improving my fit i get a good boost in bass too.
Sound
The EarFun signature sound is "ok". Nothing special but perfectly fine. I immediately tried Oluv's 2 pre-sets and it really wakes these things up in a big way.
The "Oluv Boosted" EQ adds that more V feel. But for me it did push the bass a little bit too boomy for me on some tracks
Sub bass is present and solid. I took the Oluv boosted preset and knocked the bass down 1 notch on the 1st two points and it eased off the boominess plus i pushed up the top end a little as i felt it lacked a little bit of aireness. Am talking EDM / Drum'n'Bass music here -- for most other things it's ok. But backing off the bass a touch on the boosted EQ was the sweetspot for me.
They're a fun set and for the money they punch above their weight. I think my MTW3 are better still and handle things a little tidier and give me a little more detail but i think for the asking price these are a great casual set. I'll spend some time with the EQ on these and see what i can manage but out of the box with minimal fuss you have a solid fun set of earbuds for a super competitive price. I think they definitely compete strongly with the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE which are a good 30% more expensive.
The ANC is definitely similar and AptX adaptive being present means more options for better audio than the limit of Samsung SSC
These are a solid value prop. Show Full Review
