The Earfun Wave Pro headphones are a closed-back, over-ear type suitable for a sealed and private listening experience. They are wireless with the option to connect a cable, which is detachable, and support LDAC for high-quality audio over Bluetooth, along with a low latency mode for better sync during gaming or watching videos. They excel in calls and meetings thanks to excellent mic quality, and they're also great for music, gaming, TV, and video, with very good sound overall. Comfort is good, and they can be used for exercise but aren't certified as sweatproof or dustproof. Active noise canceling is not available, although noise isolation is very good. They are moderately portable given their foldable design and have an impressive 80-hour battery life. Charging is complete in about 2 hours. Notably, they lack sweatproof certification, an equalizer app, touch controls, and wireless charging. They're a budget-friendly choice ideal for various uses, especially for those who prioritize call quality, battery life, and prefer headphones over earbuds. Give Feedback
