EarFun Air Pro TW230B

The EarFun Air Pro 4i delivers 97th percentile mic quality and 90th percentile sound for around $60. ANC, battery, and connectivity are all strong, with only comfort holding it back. If you want flagship features at a budget price, this is one of the best deals in true wireless right now.

The 11mm dynamic driver paired with LDAC delivers rich, detailed sound with punchy bass. Sound quality sits in the 90th percentile, and owners consistently mention how good these sound for the money. ANC is adaptive hybrid and blocks up to 50dB, landing in the 91st percentile. It won't beat Sony's flagship buds, but it's shockingly close for the price. Battery life is solid at 9.5 hours per charge and 40 with the case, good for the 88th percentile. The mic setup is the real star here, six mics with AI noise reduction put call clarity in the 97th percentile. That's better than most earbuds costing three times as much. The weakest area is calls according to our scoring at 67.4, which seems contradictory until you realize that's a category-level score factoring in consistency across environments, not raw mic hardware quality.

Against the Sony WF-C700N, the EarFun wins on raw features, LDAC, multipoint, wireless charging, and better mic quality. Sony has slightly better comfort and brand polish. The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro are better overall but cost significantly more, and the gap isn't as wide as the price suggests. The Anker Space A40 is the closest competitor on paper, but the EarFun edges it out on mic quality and ANC depth. The Nothing Ear (3) has a more distinctive design and better app experience, but you're paying extra for style. For pure value, the EarFun Air Pro 4i is hard to beat.

At $60 in the US and EUR 59 to EUR 70 across European listings, this is an absurd amount of tech for the money. The EUR spread is worth noting, German and Spanish shoppers can grab it at EUR 59 while French and Italian listings hit EUR 70. That's an 11 euro difference for the same earbuds, so shop around. Owners repeatedly say these rival Bose and Apple earbuds costing three to four times more. We don't disagree. The value proposition here is one of the strongest we've seen in the budget true wireless category.

The EarFun Air Pro 4i is one of those rare budget earbuds that makes you wonder why anyone pays triple for the big brands. You get LDAC, adaptive ANC up to 50dB, six mics, multipoint, and wireless charging for around 60 bucks. That's a spec sheet that would've cost you $200 a couple years ago.

Our database puts the overall score at 85.7 out of 100, with the mic quality landing in the 97th percentile. That's not a typo. The call quality on these things is genuinely top-tier, which is wild for this price. Sound, ANC, and connectivity all sit in the 90th percentile or above. The only real weak spot is comfort at 74th percentile, which is still fine but not class-leading.

If you have small or sensitive ear canals, the comfort score of 74th percentile means these might not sit well for long sessions. Look at the Sony WF-C700N or Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro if fit is your top priority. Also skip these if you need a rock-solid case, the latch issue means they're not ideal for tossing loose in a backpack.

If you want flagship-level features without flagship money, buy these. The mic quality alone justifies the price, and the sound, ANC, and battery life are all strong. They're ideal for commuters, remote workers on calls all day, and anyone who wants LDAC without spending over $100. The comfort isn't perfect for everyone, and the case latch is a minor annoyance, but those are small trade-offs for this much performance.
