Great video, purchased a dhrme hat as well and got a personalised message- too good!

[@DHRME]

Cheers!

[@Xi_da_butcher]

I just bought it too. And i found that oluv's EQ suits me the best, they are very balanced and like i'm standing in front of a pair of speakers.

[@outermarker5801]

Thanks guys, top tier as always. Glad v3 now app supported, no 3rd party 'hacking' required like v1 and 2. Too bad the ANC is still so so but I'm getting them for the stellar Free Pro sound, low profile and features.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Awesome work my dudes! I agree, with some EQ tweaks they can sound fantastic.

[@outermarker5801]

There's been two fw updates (current - 0.2.3) and an app update to address ANC/transparency. I think they're greatly improved since this review. edit - another update dropped to 0.2.6 for ANC and connection stability enhancement. That's like 3 updates since I unboxed them lol

[@rapier8886]

What a great review. So much info and incredible presentation

[@DHRME]

Thank you!

[@philipm.4738]

Sounds like they are doing what Soundcore does. A muddy EQ out of the box that's vastly improvable. Excellent and honest review as always guys!

[@DHRME]

Cheers Philip!

[@theevildude666]

Hi, great review guys, just Love Daddys Hoping Reviews Might Explode😂.. so with the right EQ the free pro 3 are better than the rest in the video? Are they better than the air pro 3?

[@vipnetworker]

Great video, thank you 🙏

[@davidmmuench]

Thanks for the review! I think I'll keep my pair for a week to see if the intermittent connectivity issues lessen. Otherwise I might just get the Soundcore Life A3i.

[@nintendude7cubed]

I’m surprised you don’t see the need to lock touch controls. This was the biggest feature they forgot about on the free pro 2s. Any moisture makes them useless by messing with the controls, which makes being water resistant kind of pointless. I will definitely be upgrading to the free pro 3s at some point so that I can turn off touch controls while I use my pressure washer at work.

[@justomar4542]

Thank you for the video, I hope you talk about the cheap iem's (20$) there is a lot out now and I'd love to see you talk about it

[@jamescaton9486]

Awesome video guys 👍

[@DHRME]

Thanks so much James!

[@jesmeralb]

Regarding the off touch controls button, I wish every brand could do the same. It's ideal when it's raining or to sleep on a sweety night.

[@DHRME]

Makes sense!

[@MariusLibas]

Fantasic videos! I have two questions - does the eq setting work on laptop too? is it still best sound quality under 100 bucks? Thank you so much@@DHRME

[@MariusLibas]

Hard to find info on it so would really appreciate your answer! CHEERS!

[@daraakinsooto7247]

I currently own the earfun Air 3 Pro, and they are amazing. Good news for me, my family found my Soundcore Liberty 4 and Sports X10, and I am thinking of returning the liberty 4 and getting something else, but i also think i am making a mistake. I currently returned my wf1000xm5 for Elite 10, and it was the best decision ever, but i also really enjoyed my time spent with the wf1000xm5, sensational, and feature packed. I would say that the ANC is the same, but they are both designed differently for good reasons, which affects the Ambient modes. For instance, the Semi open design is good for passive noise isolation and enhances the transparency but still gives top-tier ANC and it also has Adaptive ANC but its annoying because it gets easily triggered so i sent an email to Jabra that perhaps havinv the option to access in the app would be better than it turning it on by itself and i was told that it was a very valuable feedback to take into consideration. ANC is still better on the BOSE and wf1000xm5

[@daraakinsooto7247]

I have some of their earbuds that have that type of design, and they were very comfortable and good sleeping.

[@jw2877]

The touch controls being able to be disabled is nice if you want to sleep with them.

[@Elffy918]

i do understand why you are allowed to turn off touch controls. I've had situations i was biking in raining weather with earbuds in and if your raincoat or jacket is slightly wet it keeps tapping the earbuds

[@nagaphanikumarbayavarapu9470]

Which one is best - Oppo Enco X2 / Sony link buds s / OnePlus Buds Pro 2 / (dac+iem) for Netflix and audible?

[@gabrielebenedetto2683]

Thank you for the review. Well done and pretty useful. I'm evaluating the free pro 3 and the space a40 from soundcore. I want a compact design beacuse I want to be able to use them inside my helmet on my motorbyke. Which one would you choose? From what I can tell from your videos they have similar tarnsparency, but the space a40 have better anc and the free pro 3 better fit and sound customizability. Is there any other major difference?

Compared to Samsung Galaxy buds 2 pro which one you recommend? Thank you

[@audiophanatic4331]

How are these compared to the soundpeats air4 pro?

[@semih2191]

While on call ( not while listening music or video) while on an call it does allow you to change noise cancellation mode via buds? Or do you need to change it on the app while on call? Thanks

[@markthompson1439]

I just discovered your channel and absolutely love your reviews! Looking for some advice here. I've used EarFun Air pro 2 before - Loved the sound quality and was happy with the controls. However, they kept falling out of my ear every few mins and the mics were bad for outdoor use. What I'm looking for with EarFun Free Pro 3: 1. Better fit 2. Better mic performance 3. equivalent sound quality. Do you think these would suit my needs?

[@cesarpenailillo6627]

Good video as usual

[@DHRME]

Appreciate that!

[@ggroch]

Thanks for the EQ suggestion. My Free Pro 3 sounds terrible on "Classic" and Terrible on "Oluv's" if the ANC is ON. They sound totally different, and need different EQ with ANC off. There should not be a difference. QUESTION: Do you publish your recommended EQ curve somewhere? I can pause the video and squint but if there is another way I'd like to know.

so i get the pro 2s?

[@dejavu7031]

Hi guys thank you for another useful review. I really like my Earfun free pro 2's the bass is amazing, but i'am tempted with the free pro 3's for the multipoint. How would you rate the bass compared to the free pro 2's?

[@DHRME]

From memory, pretty similar.

[@dejavu7031]

I really want to know how the Earfun free pro 3 is better than Soundpeat Air 4 pro - Please review the Air 4 Pro soon 🙏

[@shamelessplace11]

Please review Noble Fokus Audio tuned by Wizard. Or Gemini 2 by Devialet. Yes i have expensive taste. I use both and love them...want your pithy and humorous reviews.

[@doedoereal]

Soundpeats opera 05 or earfun free pro 3? They are both 75$ ( i mostly prefer sound, but idk about the fit of the opera)

[@lendelos]

Hey! Can U give me recommendation - I need similar compact profile like these EarFun Free Pro 3 - to fit into moto-helmet and also good fit for running - just need better transparency mode and good call quality. I dont really need great sound quality - listening mostly podcasts... thank you!

[@svenhoff2653]

If you find the case of the Free pro 3 small, compare them to the Free Pro 2. The case of the Free pro 2 is even smaller. I also want to ask if you only notice the problem with Multipoint connection on MAC? I am using a Windows PC and my Samsung Phone and have problems with it. Most of the time it does not switch back to the PC or if it does i often can no longer change the volume via the earbuds. Only thing that helps then is to put the buds in the case and reconnect with the PC (without the Smartphone connection enabled). And a small tipp for everyone that needs a bit more ANC effectiveness. Get yourself new eartips. Something like the misodiko S450D or the misodiko Mix460 (both can be bought cheaper from other sellers but you have to search a bit). They do fit into the charging case (which is usually a problem with TWS) and isolate way way better than the original tips. And if you use ANC with this tips you will get a totally different impression about it!

[@douwedevries2026]

I have a pair too and am happy with them. I feel like the ANC got better after the 0.2.1 firmware update. They've added 4 adaptive options with ANC and I think the default or 4th gives the strongest result for me. I am curious if this changes the ANC ranking for the review. Ofcourse these buds can be improved over time with updates.

[@LoneSwordsmanTheory]

Yep, mine got way better after 0.2.1.

[@douwedevries2026]

​@@LoneSwordsmanTheory Also the EarFun tips are a bit flimsy and don't give me the best seal. So I am using the Spinfit 360 and the new Omni tips. I think the sound is the smootest for me with a large size Spinfit 360 eartips and isolation is better with those compared to the EarFun eartips.

[@joncruz]

Why disable touch controls: When you use them to sleep you avoid accidental touches like “volume up”

[@j.m.4444]

You guys should test the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3. These are incredible.

[@dudicoco]

When changing the EQ within the app is the EQ saved within the earbuds or only within the app?

[@hokagoteatimereviews]

Great review as usual guys!

[@DHRME]

Thank you!

[@oleksandr472]

I was using the Liberty 4 NCs but they constantly fall out of my ears. So, I've decided to switch to the Earfun free pro 3. Hope I'm not making a mistake.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

You didn't

[@deoryisnoob]

Namaste sir, I am getting these for apprx 6.5K INR. Are they still worth it ?

[@causey1956]

Sent mine back…did not like the sound. It is confusing when reviews say a bud is good for the price. Either it sounds good or it doesn’t. Thought the NC 4’s blew these away.

[@Shotter]

Lol, so you go popsicle, then icicle, then test....ING? 🤣

[@bloodywolftr]

I received my unit 5 days ago and left earbud drains battery %30 faster and dies. In some cases right earbud had %50 life and left had 0. I have watched so many videos nobody even anybody mentioned about this kind of problem. I mailed to earfün they said it is the normal behavior due to TWS MCsync technology, the main earbud drains faster than the other one. Can anybody confirm this or having this kind of issue or is it just my unit?

[@desmondmitchell5602]

I believe earfun will fix these issues. With some updates... thanks guys

[@DHRME]

I'm not sure they can fix the ANC. Might be a platform / hardware thing.

[@desmondmitchell5602]

​@@DHRMEohhh ok they sound great to me though... the free pros never had great anc anyway

[@desmondmitchell5602]

​​@@DHRMEhey my friends. The earfun free pro 3 just got a flimwere update that made the anc and transparency way better... it's great.. i didn't think they could pull that off eather.. way to go earfun!!!!

[@deykno87]

You disable for accidental touches at the gym doing certain movements or sleeping

[@DHRME]

Yup!

[@deykno87]

That ANC is unacceptable considering the options now

[@DHRME]

Fair point!

[@arress2052]

Agreed. Even the Air Pro 3s have better ANC so why couldn’t they do the same with this pair?

[@Icecold_Art]

[@matth3903]

Completely useless for me unfortunately if they don't play audio properly in single bud mode. Would be an instant buy otherwise, love the compact size.

[@benmacdhui]

If Earfun still requires invasive requirements to your phone simply to use their App, it's an automatic pass for me

[@outermarker5801]

I installed the app just to see because I want these buds. It's like Soundcore now, you can register an email or skip. And the only permission needed is standard 'nearby devices'. I think it's Edifier that still wants your left kidney - hard pass on them till that changes

[@wkasimer]

I brought these to the gym yesterday, as well as the Free Pro 2's. The ANC on the 3's is actually even worse than on the 2's.

[@newfnshow031]

earfun has horrible support so if it breaks in 2 months you are out some money. I would def buy something with support behind it especially bc earbuds are very likely to break in 6 months or less

[@reklovjj]

I paid $47.00 at launch therefore not worry about it! Even at reg price I wouldn’t as they are great!

[@jamescaton9486]

No complaints or concerns with any of them so far. Free Pro 2 👍, SV Pro x2 👍, Air Pro 3 x2 (superb earbuds)👍. At sub $100, if they crap out, can replace without much issue. Luckily none have crapped out. The batteries have reduced a bit, but that is going to happen to each and every earbud on the market. What kind of issues are you experiencing? I find most companies don't stand behind their products all that well anymore.

[@jesmeralb]

Not sure I can belive on the anc. You rated the previous version as trash and it still one of the best for me, even better than linkbuds. There's something wrong here.

[@DHRME]

We appreciate your continued support either way! :)

[@t.soares1125]

Wait, I'm not sure if I heard that right despite rewinding it. I thought it was said that you can wear one earbud on its own. But then that statement is followed with you only get what's in the right, or left channel when wearing one earbud. Can anyone help out here?

[@DHRME]

Yes that's right. You can use one bud on its own, but it only plays half a stereo channel

[@artus198]

If you put one bud, it plays only that channel ? W t f !! That's a clear NO for me.

[@bloodchilde]

ANC is just a stupid hype. If I could remove it from the earphones completely, I would do it

[@ampstudios]

it's really not hype, some work better than others

[@bloodchilde]

@@ampstudios what works better, ANC or the overall "sound quality"? ANC has become a hyped-up feature that has the same importance as sound quality (if not more) for so many people. It's like everybody is living on a loud construction site or something. It seems to me that people think ANC = better sound quality, which is utterly false and a product of a widespread superstition. There is more chance that frequency response will be *worse* with ANC on than not

[@philstavro]

I can't believe you can't use only one earbud for music. They went from my no1 choice to no way I am getting those. Shame

[@reklovjj]

Boy you guys trash this perfect earbuds! Who cares the factory setup when you know you’ll tune it? No issues on ANC or transparency on my side and these guys outperform the past 10 earbuds you recommended… FYI I got them for $47.00 on launch day with a coupon provided by some of your US colleagues on YT.
