Earfun has done an excellent job of developing better budget earbuds throughout recent times, even if it remains pretty much unknown within the mainstream due to its limited product offering. EarFun Air has once again clearly proven the company’s growing reputation. While the controls might become a little more user-friendly as well as the charging case is a little unsightly, the EarFun Air is excellent in every way.

Quick Introduction

They look similar to Apple AirPods but are a little heavier and bulkier, and it takes some more endeavor to find the correct fit for one’s ears. But in return, you get remarkably catchy sound, wireless charging, and good battery life for only $43/£40.

The EarFun Air does not have ANC and would have been a nice addition, but it does have excellent sound quality. You’re positive care by a lovely combination of punchy bass as well as comprehensive mids that aren’t overpowering. The only drawback is that the trebles are sometimes broken. But at this price, something has to give.

Aside from that, the EarFun Air has a lot of almost everything you could want. There’s wireless charging, which is still the most convenient way to recharge earbuds. In addition, they have an IPX7 waterproof rating. This means they can be put in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1m. Always beneficial.

Price of EarFun Air

The EarFun Air is currently available for purchase in the United States and the United Kingdom. They normally cost $43 / £40, but can frequently be on sale at third-party stores for around $50 or £40.

The EarFun Air is available in black or white. This product’s price is comparable to alternatives such as the Anker Soundcore Life P3, but it is extremely low by wireless earbuds standards.

Although EarFun sells its products in Australia, this model is not currently available there. With an array of shades to choose from, the price (or, more accurately, the discount) could indeed largely depend on one’s personal version.

Comfort and design

Comfort and design of EarFun Air

The EarFun Air, which is available in white or black, has stems that descend from the earpieces as well as touch-sensitive controls just on outer panels. The comfort is secure and comfortable, however, the earpieces suffer from a lack of sustaining fins to keep them in place. Making them less suitable for something like the gym despite their own waterproof construction. The earpieces come with four different sizes of silicone ear tips. The audio is coming from “composite bio-cellulose” drivers inside the earphones.

The touch-sensitive panel on both ears provides a wide variety of controls—they’re not always intuitive, but they’re responsive. A double-tap on either earpiece controls playing, whereas a triple tap on the right earpiece skips ahead a track.

Touching and holding the right earpiece’s panel boosts the volume while doing the same on the left earpiece reduces it. A triple touch on the left ear activates your phone’s voice assistant. There is no way to navigate backward on a track. Most of these tapping sequences can also use to answer, end, refuse, or pause an incoming or ongoing phone conversation. So, aside from the lack of reverse track scrolling, most of the basics are here. Although knowing how much each ear handles requires some practice.

The bottom panel of the flip-top charging case contains a USB-C connector for the accompanying USB-C-to-USB power cord, which is of substantial length. A single color scheme LED on the front face indicates how much battery life remains in the casing.

Some best parts

The EarFun Air‘s IPX7 designation means it’s water-resistant and can also be put in water for up to a meter, albeit Bluetooth signals don’t work properly underwater. Sweat and rain under the faucet should be no problem for the earbuds. The charging case, on the other hand, is not waterproof.

The EarFun Air is Bluetooth 5.0 compliant as well as supports AAC & SBC Bluetooth codecs, but not AptX.

The Air’s battery life is approx by EarFun to be around 7 hours, with an extra 28 hours inside the charging case, although your experience will vary depending on your volume settings. Wireless Qi pad adapters are compatible with the case.

Controls and digital assistant of EarFun Air

Controls and digital assistant

The multifunction touch controls of the EarFun Air are set on the exterior of each earbud. You may alter your music or accept a phone call by tapping or touching the earbuds: press twice on either earbud to play or pause music, press and hold for two seconds for rejecting a call, and so on. You may also start the voice assistant by tapping three times just on the left earpiece. When you remove one earbud, your music immediately pauses and resumes when you replace the bud in your ear.

While the touch multifunction control systems are appealing in theory. Even after many days of using the earphones, We saw ourselves inadvertently adjusting the audio when I was really only repositioning the earbud in my ear. When You want to make a change, You had to tap numerous times to find precisely the correct spot to make it happen. It’s also hard to recall which ear and how many taps are required to complete a specific job.

Sound Quality

The EarFun Air has excellent sound quality. When listening to music, the strong bass provides a solid foundation for the brilliant, clear vocals as well as other instruments. Because of the heavy bass, these earbuds are ideal for styles or songs that highlight the bass.

And the earbuds’ sound quality translates well with other genres of music as well: the clean audio caught me inside an action movie moment. Considering the modest cost of such earbuds, the EarFun Air offers far superior sound quality than you might think.

Features

The EarFun Air does not include any software. The earphones have no particular or distinguishing features. This might be a benefit for certain users: You myself favor basic, more minimalist items that don’t have a lot of extraneous bells and whistles.

Besides, the Air has a few tricks up its sleeve. IPX7 is definitely worth mentioning, and if you ever decide to maintain one ear open, users can pair and use only one earbud at a moment. So it’s an earbud that can give you all the things you want or desire in an earbud.

Battery Life of EarFun Air

battery Life

The EarFun Air claims to provide up to 7 hours of listening time on a single charge and two hours of playtime with just 10 min of Qi wireless charging. This assertion is driven by my experience with the earbuds: the EarFun Air lasts longer on a single charge.

The charging case is sleek and tiny, making it ideal for slipping into a pocket or handbag. The earphones have an LED light that displays whether they are charging or completely full. Remember that the earphones are waterproof, but the charging case is not.

Conclusion:

In many respects, the EarFun Air seems like the budget-friendly earphones pair of your dreams: it’s affordable, waterproof, and has high-quality sound. The design and controls may keep any enthusiasm in check, but given the low cost, these aren’t fatal issues.

If you’re searching for a pair of earbuds to use for more sedentary behaviors, such as sitting at the office. The EarFun Air could be a good choice.
