Are planning on joining the Wave? 🤦 ... Here's the affiliate link if you're interested amzn.to/3PQ3mp3 ($10 coupon on the page and a special discount code: EWP25OFF to get a total 25% off, down to $59.99.)

[@malcontent510]

Love the energy in your videos, Aaron. I especially appreciate that you do _real world_ microphone tests.

[@JT-wn7wb]

Thank you !! Aaron, was getting mix reviews about this set. Thanks for clearing it up!!

[@gearupaaron]

Glad the video helped. Cheers, mate! 🍻

[@DJ279V]

Thanks for expanding on your experienced review. I may have to give these a go as I have not tried any Earfun products in over a year. Thx as always!!

[@BrianHartman]

Great review, Aaron. :) I got these headphones a few months ago. I've been pretty impressed so far. The battery life is solid, the noise cancelling is adequate for my purposes, and the sound quality is very impressive. For the money, I think these are some of the best earphones you can buy.

[@StinKyChupz]

You’ve gained a sub! Awesome videos dude!😮

[@Makingthetransition]

This was an excellent review! Thank you for the positive energy also. Keep working and creating content. You are very gifted.

[@gearupaaron]

Thanks, man! It's hard work especially against the crazy YT algorithmic machine. 😫

[@jetfuview]

great video as always! I just got the Sonoflow (blue) a few days ago and I really like it for the price I paid ($60). Sounds like these Wave Pro are in-line with them and I may buy one as well if they will have more colors in the future.

[@gearupaaron]

Great price for a great seat of cans. Besides the Earfuns, you can bet that there'll be more amazing devices at this price dropping the rest of the year.

[@matiasmartinezferreira6398]

Great video, testing and device review. Thanks pal. 🤓

[@gearupaaron]

Appreciate it, Matias! 🤘 Hope you come back for new content every week. Peace, bro 😎

[@jackjones77777]

Thank you for posting.

[@gearupaaron]

Thanks YOU!

[@JPSchulzy82]

EarFoon! 😄. I love the color of the Wave Pros. They are so close to my 1More SonoFlows. One small thing - they have voice prompts rather than the Netflix like tones on 1More. I appreciate you mentioning the JLab Lux ANC too as I just received mine. I think the EarFun and 1More have the edge in terms of sound quality (especially with LDAC). Thanks for the review!

[@JLummin]

Which of those 2 would you pick? Looking for a cheap backup to my Bose

[@JPSchulzy82]

@@JLummin I'm giving the slight edge to the EarFun because I like the color and voice prompts better. Both are great choices though!

[@negasigerima9273]

Great review Aaron, very entertaining! I purchased a set of Earfun Wave Pros, tested them, and ultimately ended up sending them back. I agree with you, the build quality was really good for the price, but that pretty much ends my list of superlatives. To my ears, the sound quality was not up to par. I A/B tested them against a pair of Soundcore Q30’s and no matter what I did to the EQ on the Wave Pros I couldn’t get them to not sound a bit veiled and lacking in the low end. I agree they’ve got a nice wide sound stage, but their response is super flat (but not in an analytical way like Sennheiser) and the EQ does nothing to fix it. That was really disappointing to me because my past experience with Earfun’s products was much better. All of their earbuds had good frequency response, wide sound stages, good punchy bass, and they all EQ’ed really well. These disappointed me highly. Just another hypetrain product. The Soundcore Q30/35’s are a much better headphone in all regards while costing the same or less.

[@philipm.4738]

Interesting perspective. I got the 1more Sonoflow SEs myself and I thought they sounded very nice till I put them up against my Soundcore Q30s. They were way more dynamic. On the other hand, if you just want a pair of headphones for a very relaxed listening experience, I feel the Sonoflows would be a good choice. I suspect these are similar. 😊

[@gearupaaron]

Thanks for sharing your experience. How did you find the ANC, btw?

[@philipm.4738]

​@@gearupaaron On the Sonoflow SEs, the noise cancelling is actually not too bad. But I noticed that there's the same sort of delay when turning off the headphones...it takes a while! Interesting.

[@negasigerima9273]

​@@gearupaaron I thought the ANC on the Wave Pros was mediocre. I ride the subway to work a couple days per week and I couldn't tell the difference between them and my Q30's.

[@arress2052]

Agree 100%. These sounded nowhere as good as my Q30s.

[@svenwalter4293]

Great review. Subbed! Man how do you do that seamless mic switching from the DJI to the headphones tho?!

[@gearupaaron]

Much appreciate the support! I record both sources separately and then a quick post-edit in Premiere Pro. 😁

[@deuelramos6314]

Would you say these are better than the 1More Sonoflow? Right now I'm looking for the best 80$ headset, and so I'm deciding between this or the Jlab Jbuds Lux. I'm looking for good sound quality for EDM and POP with some noise canceling so maybe the Jbuds Lux may be more my style since you said they have more bass.

[@Armando_Aranda]

Do you still have this? I was thinking about it.

[@kaizz3n]

I appreciate this review! Might consider buying them. Also, if you can review the Vokalen Hyper Pros, Id really appreciate ur thoughts on them! cheers :)

[@gearupaaron]

Thanks for the suggestion! Not sure if you caught it in the video, but another great alternative to consider is the 1More Sonoflow.

[@kaizz3n]

@@gearupaaron I initially considered purchasing the Sonoflows but opted for the Hyper Pros instead. I find them to be a strong contender in a similar price range (approximately $50 on Amazon). Additionally, I am particularly impressed by their touch controls.

[@user-qn1zj5bs5p]

i dont know but what i heard from you video music sample with soundpeats space , the bass is quite heavy , maybe because soundpeats space is known for bass heavy LOL

[@timobeid1666]

Hey i discovered your account and i liked your video's do you think i should get this pair of headphones or the jbls which you did in the video before this?

[@timobeid1666]

Or do you think k I should get another pair for a budget of 80

[@gearupaaron]

If your budget is strictly under $80, the Earfun, 1More Sonoflow, or Soundcore Q30/35 would be excellent choices.

[@dr.hyderwaseem7562]

This vs sony xm5. For me most important is voice/mic quality. Do u think xm5 has much more improved mic quality or is it the same?

[@gearupaaron]

Sony ftw.

[@yxtsama]

I am planning on buying the 1More Sonoflow, and I was wondering if you think it's still a good deal or if would you choose something else in the price range? Did your opinions or final score on them change afterward or are they still accurate?

[@gearupaaron]

I made the scoring as objective as possible (especially for SQ and performance, and looks), so they ought to be pretty relevant for some time.

[@yxtsama]

@@gearupaaron Thank you very much

[@gearupaaron]

@yxtsama You're welcome ✌️

[@philipm.4738]

Thanks so much for the review of these. I have the Sonoflow SEs so probably don't have the need for these also. I still love my Soundcore Q30s, they are fantastic! Loved your "outtake"😂

[@gearupaaron]

Those two are perfectly great cans! Thanks for your comments, Philip!

[@waynedexter]

So far the consensus has been these sound better than the SonoFlows. I know sound is subjective but what are you thoughts? Also, how does the noise canceling compare? The ANC is my only quibble with the SonoFlows

[@gearupaaron]

Great questions... Personally I prefer the Sonoflow sound over the Wave (assuming both running LDAC). It feels more intimate and detailed. I'd rank ANC from top to bottom as Space One, Wave Pro, and Sonoflow. Still, I might have to listen to the Sonoflow again and see my assessment still stands. 😁

[@JPSchulzy82]

I have both the EarFun and 1More like Aaron. There are more noise cancelling modes on the EarFun. As far as sound goes they sound identical with my custom EQs on both.

[@rainbowsubs2]

would you say these are better than the soundcore space one?

[@gearupaaron]

Generally, my final scores are objective enough to compare different products I review. Where the Space One trumps Earfun here is ANC and app, fwiw.

[@AnitayaLiyana-p7p]

Which one better Earfun wave pro or Soundcore space one?

[@gearupaaron]

If it helps, my scores towards the end are pretty objective. Compare the numbers there and pair with what's important for you.

[@JudasPV]

What is your suggestion for working out?

[@gearupaaron]

Focus on your core and flexibility.

[@paulyt3339]

Had these for 2 weeks now and I get a lot of feedback just from moving my end, pressure droning type of noise. Not sure if that’s just me, heard another reviewers, I think RHME, mentioned it.

[@gearupaaron]

Can you describe the noise a bit more? And is it present in LDAC mode (because I've experienced feedback sounds from other devices I've tested)?

[@paulyt3339]

@@gearupaaron it’s in all modes so far. Like when you touch headphones and you get feedback in your ears but it’s caused even my just twisting your head from side to side. Also feel a lot of pressure from them with no music playing. Weird, I have many many headphones and earbuds and never experienced this. I remember an old pair of earbuds with a cord that would scrape against a coat zipper and cause a simular sensation

[@davidmmuench]

Curiously I experienced the same thing in my left earcup of my Tozo HT2s. It only happened once, but it was very strange.

[@paulyt3339]

@@davidmmuench it’s constant for me. Unusable

[@gearupaaron]

Different manufacturers use different ANC counter signals. Maybe these headphones use cheaper ANC modules that cause issues like yours?

[@Reviewscentral2]

Sound quality was weaker than some ear buds I have. In fact the OnePlus buds 3 sound amazing in comparison.

[@gearupaaron]

The irony, innit?
