If you want to buy the best wireless headphones on the market, you don't have to go beyond the Apple AirPods Pro (
USD $ 179 /
MX $ 5,999) or Galaxy Buds Pro (
USD $ 149 /
MX $ 3,011).
But not everyone wants to spend so much money to listen to their favorite music or watch movies on their favorite device.
That's where the lower budget options come in and after trying several we found a pair that stands out far above the rest: the Earfun Air (
USD $ 49.99 /
MX $ 1,749).
And we'll put it simply for you: if you want to spend less on wireless headphones, you won't find a better pair than the Earfun Air.
Yes, you read it right.
They sound better, look better, and perform better than other headphones at almost twice the price.

The who, what and how
Who's this for:
The Earfun Air for someone looking for a reliable pair of wireless headphones with great sound, long battery life, and a comfortable design.
What you need to know:
Our main complaint with Earfun Air is that unlike AirPods or other headphones, there is no quick switching between paired devices.
However, if you plan to use them with a single device, the Earfun Air may be exactly what you are looking for and combine it with strong sound and connectivity.

How they
stack up
:
Not only did Earfun Air outperform several similarly priced budget earbuds we tested, but it can also go toe-to-toe with standard AirPods.
In our tests, we found that the Earfun Air sounded better with almost every genre of music we tested.
Battery life is not a concern either with seven hours of playback.
They also have a water resistance that makes it okay to exercise in them or wear them in the rain.
You just have to know that you won't get more advanced features like active noise cancellation.
Big sound, small price tag
When you buy new headphones, there is only one thing that really matters: do they sound good?
The Earfun Air passes the basic sound quality test with flying colors.
We test these headphones in a wide variety of music genres, including classical, metal, rock, pop, and dance.
In all categories, the Earfun Air (
USD $ 49.99 /
MX $ 1,749) shone.
We tested dozens of songs on these headphones over the course of many weeks and couldn't find a single song that didn't sound good.
Compared to the AirPods it sounded much better despite costing about half the price.

So what is the catch?
Despite all the insanely good things we can say about the Earfun Air's sound performance, there are inevitably two main drawbacks.
First of all, the Earfun Air has an extremely limited set of features and is terrible at moving between devices.
This downside alone should be enough to sway many of you into putting up the extra cash and buying a pair of AirPods.
I'll put it another way: if you own multiple internet devices and you frequently switch between them, you should probably consider a different set of headphones.
Pairing and re-pairing these is an annoying and time-consuming process, to say the least, and it's worth spending some extra money if you plan on using them on a daily basis.

For everyone else, especially if you plan to use these wireless headphones with one device, it's ideal.
We had no connectivity issues after pairing the Earfun Air with an iPad and found that they worked just as well as all my Apple-branded headphones: Beats Solo Pro, AirPods Pro, and standard Airpods.
Do they have any special characteristics?
The Earfun Air (
USD $ 49.99 /
MX $ 1,749) are as straightforward as they come, but have a few extra features like an IPX7 waterproof rating.
This means that they can soak in about one meter of water for about 30 minutes.
We don't often see waterproofing on such cheap devices, so of course this was a huge plus and one that we gladly accept.
Another important benefit is the four-way microphone, which helps with much better sound isolation during phone calls and video conferences.
The sound isolation is not as clean as other high-end headphones, but we still found these to be formidable during working hours.

We use the Earfun Air during regular business hours for more than a week without any problems.
Some colleagues even commented on how good they looked and sounded.
Simply put, they can perform everyday tasks as well as many headphones that cost twice the price.
In conclusion
Earfun Air headphones (
USD $ 49.99 /
MX $ 1,749) won't work for everyone, but if you're in the small subset of people who need something cheap, reliable, and great-sounding, you'll be hard pressed to find something better than them.
If your concern is only sound quality, let me assure you that you will have absolutely no problem listening to your favorite music as it was intended.
The only reason you should consider purchasing other headphones is if you are the type of person who frequently switches between devices.
But if you need something cheap, reliable, and quite sturdy, look no further.
