Earfun Pro X review: highly capable headphones that seriously undercut rivals such as Bose on price
The Wave Pro X are Earfun's best cans so far, and the margin is wide.
The Earfun Wave Pro X are Earfun's most high-end over-ears yet, despite not being a premium headphone company. They took over 30 months to design, and the gap between announcement and release was over a year. Despite their budget origins, these headphones offer a refined design and thoughtful features. They boast 90 hours of battery life with ANC off, or 50 hours with ANC on, which is significantly longer than top competitors.
The ANC is reliable for most uses, though it struggles with unpredictable, non-repetitive sounds. The headphones come packed with features, including an extensive equalizer with 30 presets, custom EQ mode, listening test, AI Adaptive ANC modes, and dual-device connections. The standout feature is the equalizer, which is considered the best in the business.
However, the headphones sound slightly muddy overall and don't quite match the refinement of Bose's premium offerings. With a price tag of $129.99 / £119.99 (about AU$240), they're a budget-friendly alternative to Bose but not quite as refined.
