EarFun Air Wireless Earbuds, [What Hi-Fi Awards], Rich Sound Deep Bass

These are budget earbuds, so will review them accordingly. They are comfortable and come with 4 different sizes of silicon buds, the smallest are a good fit for me. I’m 55yrs old so I don’t exactly have quality control hearing, but they sound good to me. They are a piece of cake to connect and so far I haven’t had any technical issues. Not much more to say really.

I am not an ardent audiophile but I own a few mid price sets of headphones ( AKG, Sennheiser, Sony etc) that I use for listening to music, gaming and recording guitar, so have an Idea of what a half decent pair should sound like. These little jem's do not disappoint for the price that I paid at the time. I wasn't really looking for earbuds but thought that a pair might come in handy. I came across a What Hifi review that gave these guys a great review saying that they were as good as if not better than some well known brands at twice or three times the price.,so I had a look on Amazon last black Friday. I picked some with an unprenouceable name and what looked like very similar specs as I liked the design. What a disappointment! I have posted a review on them. Sent them back and gave up on the idea as I didn't really need earbuds anyway. Browsing through my saved items and I saw the Earfun Air were down in price at £27 or so and thought I would give earbuds another go. Day and night difference! The other ones were tinny and awful these are great for what I want. Not overly bass heavy but nicely balanced. Some reviews point to a slightly unrefined treble but it's all about EQ so most people will be able to get the sound they want with a little tweaking with their sound app controls without problem. As I said, not overly bass oriented like some "extra bass" style earbuds but the bass is more than adequate for most music genres, even dance style tracks. Very pleased with the sound scape and build quality. Nice smallish charge case that opens and closes with a reassuring snap an has a quality feel about it and I had no problems pairing them to my phone. As for battery life, I tend to charge them regularly so I couldn't really verify the manufacturers claims but I guess they would be about average for this type of earbuds. What HiFi are a respected publication and if they like 'em then Earfun must be on to something. Still think the name is a bit daft but they sound fine. Update 1st July 2026. Left earpiece given up the ghost. Started to get fuzzy on startup but ok after a few taps, now doesn't work at all. For £25, not a big problem, I will just replace them with the same or an upgraded version Still pleased with them overall.

Little update: one month in, the earbuds are still working well, and i figured out the small hissing noise was actually coming from the Echo mini, which uses only the sbc codec to communicate with other devices via Bluetooth. The app is actually helping fine-tune the sound a lot, and I now use these to go running. When paired with a MacBook Pro, the sound is crystal clear. If you own an echo mini, an Anker Soundcore P31i is the way to go. Better sound quality, no hissing, great ANC and a top notch battery life. Like most have already mentioned when reviewing these earbuds I think they offer a reasonable amount of quality and all in all, are pretty great for the price paid. I am using these with a snowsky echo mini, and they are great for commuting and listening to some punchy music on the go. Decent but slightly undefined bass and mids, and there is a small hissing noise perceptible when listening to classical or ambient music. The treble feels also a bit tinny at times, and the soundstage is also not the widest, but all in all, these are just minor qualms, as these were just perfect for the gym and moving about and can’t be faulted for the price (£29). The EarFun app is also adding a layer of tweaking that is a plus, but wants to have access to your photo library and your contacts by default (denied!), which is weird and intrusive. Enjoy these earbuds for what they are, not what you’d like them to be and they will deliver.

(I've updated this review twice, eventually arriving at 5 stars - see the updates at the end) Firstly, these buds have excellent sound for the price. They're not quite as well rounded as the audiophile type headphones, but they are really very, very good. They're certainly plenty good enough for a run around the block, or the commute to work. The sound isolation by virtue of being an earplug design is good, but I can still hear enough around me to be situationally aware. The charge case is nice too - and seems to provide plenty of power for a good long time. The buds are held in by a little magnet so there's a clear "in" and "out". The stalks go into two deep holes which have springy contacts in them for charging. Those holes are possibly a problem if some fluff gets in there, or if you need to clean the contacts. There are some wrinkles though - hardly surprising given the price. Firstly, skipping tacks, pause/resume, adjusting the volume etc all require a number of "taps" with a finger in a particular ear. This is okay, but it's prone to problems mis-counting the number of taps you intend. If your finger doesn't go right onto the bud, it may not be counted, if you go too quick, it may not be counted, if it's a Tuesday, it may not be counted... you get the idea. This has lead to more than a few pauses when I wanted to skip, volume when I wanted to pause and I've lost count of how many times it's told me it's switching to "game mode" (which is missing a consonant, so sounds more like "gay mode"). Also, when putting the buds back into the charger, sometimes things don't work right. First it was the left one, now the right - when I put them in, sometimes they charge (and disconnect bluetooth), sometimes they just stay there. If the latter, then they'll eventually run out of battery, and re-connecting them to bluetooth seems overly hit-and-miss. Some days it takes several attempts to get both ears to work at the same time. When this first happened, I contacted Earfun, who it's fair to say were great. They told me to clean the contacts (not so easy down the bottom of the tube in the charger), and push hard and whatnot. On that occasion it worked, but subsequent times it's been a lot less successful. My guess is the actual buds get themselves in a mess and don't start to charge/disconnect when they should, and so need some "resetting" to make them behave. The little LED on the buds sometimes does some very weird things, and sometimes the buds seem to try to talk but garble instead. There's no reset button (or apparently a way to switch them off/on or whatever), so getting them back to themselves isn't always easy. Sometimes you just have to let them run out of battery and then recharge them to get them to work. This all smells of a software problem on the buds (not upgradeable), so I hope Earfun can sort it for a subsequent model. All in all though, these are great, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a decent set of buds (and Earfun themselves look to be good). The problems with them are very annoying but not a show-stopper (for me at least). Not quite "apple" yet, but then they're like a 10th of the price. UPDATE: Earfun have got in contact to smooth over the above (was a 3 star review). Adding a star because that's unexpected from them, is above and beyond what I'd ever reasonably expect and another clear plus point for these buds. Update 2: (Moved up to 5 stars) Earfun replaced the old with the newer model (the one with app connectivity, and it comes with a little cleaning stick). The app is plenty good enough (probably won't need it more than once or twice), and thankfully doesn't need you to register to use it. I've more or less left my buds as 'default', except to turn off Game Mode. The app provides a way to update the earbuds firmware, so I guess this is a way for Earfun to improve what they can without needing to replace the hardware. Further, the actual buds work better than before. The finger touch thing seems more 'definite' than before, so a lot less pauses when I meant skip, or whatever. They seem to pair with my watch more reliably than before too, and so far have charged flawlessly. Earfun seemed to think previous problems were with dirty contacts, and have provided a little cleaning stick this time, so time will tell if that's still a problem here. So far, the buds seem to disconnect and charge as they ought to, so I don't expect random 'battery low' issues (the app can tell you the charge of each bud too - if you need such a thing). All in all then, 5 stars as they sound great, work well and are at a price you can't beat. Earfun service has been excellent too.

I bought these as my previous ones were the type that don't have the rubber ear pieces, they were just solid plastic. My left one was ok but I could never get the right one to stay in and it became very uncomfortable with the constant pushing and adjusting. I bought these based on a magazine review and I have not been disappointed. They are as clear as a bell for both voice and instruments, which is excellent considering the price. My partner paid a small fortune for Bose and I feel these are just as good. They came already charged so I could try them straight away. It doesn't cancel noise completely as I could still hear the TV when I wasn't playing music, but not when I was, although I did hear my dogs bark. They are comfortable to wear and felt secure. Due to my obviously odd ears, I did have to change one medium rubber cup to a large so they now fit perfectly. The cups come in 4 sizes so there should be something to fit everyone. I did find the controls a bit fiddly, I tapped twice to pause but there is a slight delay before it stops, I think I was a bit eager and tried tapping again and may have confused them as I ended up with voice control. I did eventually succeed but I think I need to practice a bit more and make sure I tap on the right place. I do like it that it automatically pauses when you take one out and starts again when you replace it. The charging box is neat but sturdy and the earbuds are not too bad to get out, easier than my last ones anyway. All in all, I think these are a great buy and would definitely recommend them.

Very good sound quality and you can customise the bass and treble to your tastes if you download the app. I use these for running and they did fall out, regardless of the different bud size I used. They charged well for the first 4 months then the left bud didn’t charge, even after cleaning the contacts with ethanol. OK for the price point but don’t expect longevity.

Fantastic value, Had these pods a while now, and can't fault them. Used for voice and music, clear sound and good noise cancelling quality. Battery time is excellent, with quick recharge rate.

Not going to discover anything with my review that has not been discussed previously in others but hope it helps you to invest the little money that this earbuds cost and enjoy them. I'm the kind of headphones user that has resisted forever switching into wireless technology, my in ear and over ear needed to be wired, it has took me a long while to realise that in ear headphones of quality can beat or be close to high end headphones With the above in mind, first what I like: - Very surprised on the sound quality, is quite a pleasure listen to some music on them and except maybe for some definition I can't fault them against my older RHA and other IEMs - They are comfortable and fit me quite well, although of course your mileage can vary but are much better than my gf expensive Sony that are in danger or falling all the time - No issues with the mics, they simply work well on varied conditions - Happy with battery life, I have not felt them to be lacking the expected endurance - Again price vs value is top notch! What I don't like: - The touch control are really difficult to use and get consistent repeatable results from them. Making the feature more of a nuisance than useful. Not to mention how many times I stop playback or change something while repositioning the earbuds in my ears. - Although bluetooth signal strength is good, there are many occasions that the earbuds loose connection asymmetrically or reconnect all together. Again this issues and conditions are not repeatable. Sometimes happens more when you are really close to the device rather than at distance on a busy environment. This is probably the most problematic issue, that some people have reported to be a fault on their units.

so bought these a few days and have to say im impressed sound is great connection was quick and price was right had them in my ears for 3 hours and still going just great value for money if anything changes down the line ill update

ما يعجبني أي شئ بسهوله لكن بصؤاحة ممتازة جداً وتستاهل أكثر من سعرها اشتريت قبلها وحده ب٤ اضعاف السعر وفيها ٦ ميكروفونات هذه أفضل منها في كل شئ. حتى المكالمات وتشبك بسرعة وضد الموية.

**UPDATE** The supplier sent me a new pair, and after a couple of weeks of testing I haven't experienced the same issue. So, I change my review to reflect that I'm really happy with the product. Sure, it has some quirks like very sensitive touch controls, but all in all they're excellent for the price. I bought these as a similarly-priced replacement for my old Skullcandy Jib True Wireless in-Ear Earbuds which gave up the Ghost. I really enjoyed the initial experience and they are very comfortable with good sound...however the left ear often, and randomly, declares "Disconnecting!" out of the blue, and then both ears go silent for a second, and then play resumes. I have been unable to troubleshoot it. I'll give it another week or so and then probably return them. The battery life is ok. Putting them back in the dock doesn't always stop what was playing.

The sound is amazing! Great bass and prestine sound. Thw case works with Wireless Charging, i have a generic Wireless charging dock that has a thing for air pods/ear buds. Has noise cancelling which really works. It fits well in the ears and doesnt slip out like cheap buds. Definitely worth the cost.

Sound quality and overall performance is good.
