EarFun Wave Pro Active Noise Canceling Headphones, Wireless Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones, LDAC Hi-Res Sound, 5 Mics AI Clear Call, 80H Playtime, Multipoint Connection, Comfort Fit, Oat White

These headphones are another great EarFun product. I love the 4 pair of wireless earbuds and the wired set of IEMs from EaFun I have. These over-ear EarFun Wave Pro headphones are just wonderful. The build quality is really good. They're comfortable...enough that I fell asleep with them 2 nights in a row after I got them. Sound quality is excellent and rivals premium brands. Battery has long life, connection is great, premium case...I love these EarFun Wave Pro's!Although I have several other headphones (of various types - decent collection), the closest set that I can compare them too is my Sony set thats a tier 2 model (from the top that costs 4 times as much). My other headphones either aren't nearly as good or have different features....so the much more expensive Sony set is a fairly close comparison.They are close to the build quality of my Sony wireless set, but maybe just a tad bit less beefy...However, they don't look or feel chinsey or cheap in any way. They feel and look premium. The buttons are solid feeling. Nice construction. They do seem like they will last a long time without any structural faulure. Also, they are a good weight - not heavy, but not flimsy or anything either. As for comfort, they are actually a little more comfortable for long periods of time compared to the S brand set. The ear cushions are soft and don't hurt my ears after several hours. Clamping force isn't too tight, nor too loose - nice balance. The headband also has some cushion. So, to bottom line comfort and build, I'm very satisfied with Wave Pro and they are close to, the same, or even better in certain aspects than my S brand set. *** The EarFun Wave Pro is BETTER than my older JBL set I have (that I bought in 2019) in both build and comfort - a lot better!The sound quality is also exceptional. To bottom line it - the Wave Pro is close to / comparable to my S brand in sound. If there is a difference , it's not by much. The EarFun app has several presets and a customizable EQ that works well and gets the job done to conform to your needs. I prefer extra bass most of the time, and pushing up the low frequencies in the EQ gets these EarFun Wave Pro's bumping. Great bass. If bass isn't your thing, no worries - these aren't over powering at all...but if you want ear punching bass, these headphones can certainly do it by adjusting the EQ in the app. The mids are clear and detailed nicely for this type of headphones. In many of my previous sets, the mids were either too subdued, tamed down or didn't have enough detail...These have a good, clean satisfying mid range that sound pleasing. Vocals are clear and aren't muted / low like other headsets. Highs are nice without being to bright...nor too dull. Nice crisp highs but no over sibilance.The sound quality absolutely punches higher than it's price bracket. To be honest, these Wave Pro's come pretty close to rivaling my tier 2 Sony's that have a retail price that's 4 times as much...and are also slightly more comfortable. LDAC works great and adds that extra hi fi sound. Most headphones in this range don't have LDAC...so nice added bonus. Be advised - LDAC only works with single connection (not dual connection). Also, other than phones, there are very few Bluetooth devices that have LDAC capabilities...In order for your headphones to recieve in LDAC codec, the transmitter source must be LDAC capable. I do have a Fiio Bluetooth Transmitter/ Reciever (with DAC) that does have LDAC which works nice, but it's a rare device. They are others out there, but you would have to verify that the source of Bluetooth has LDAC to benefit from it. TVs, Fire Stick, PCs and most other sources don't have LDAC capabilities...Anyway, don't worry about it one way or the other - these Wave Pro's sound great without LDAC. I've been using these headphones to listen to music while watching videos on my Fire Stick 4k Max, which doesn't have LDAC. Still sounds awesome!The dual device mode works great without a glitch. I love that you can listen to a source - ie TV / Streaming Stick, but also use the app on your phone to change the sound perameters, touch controls and see battery life in real time. Bluetooth connection is great , stable and has good range. Easy to connect. Battery lasts a long time and is as advertised. The travel case is premium - this also rivals my S brand.The app works great as well. You can change the sound/ EQ - there's preset sound options and a customizable EQ. You can customize the control settings. Toggle between single/ dual connection, LDAC on / off, and Game Mode on / off. The app allows you to download firmware upgrades. To save battery, you can select an Automatic Shutdown timer at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. You can also select "No automatic shutdown". This setting is useful for keeping your headphones on standby for calls or just using them for noise cancelling without playing music.ANC - The ANC on these works well with low frequency noises such as air conditioning units or loud vehicle noise while traveling. I haven't used it much in a crowded area with people (ie busy cafe), so I don't yet know how well it works in those regards. It isn't quite as strong as the much more expensive pair I have been comparing them too, but it still works really good...and is (at the very least) as good or better than other headphones in this price bracket. At least for me, these seem to do the job just fine for my needs in noise cancelling. I'm satisfied. There's 3 levels of ANC - "Wind Noise", "Comfort ANC" and "Strong ANC". I need to explore this more to see what the differences are exactly, but I do know they are different strengths. "Ambient" mode is a passthrough or transparent mode that allows you to hear everything around you ...your surroundings. I find this useful when going out and about - in a store for example where you can comfortably talk to someone without taking them off. I'd also use this mode if I were to move about in a public area so you can hear traffic sounds or what ever for safety.So, with all that said, Im enjoying these EarFun Wave Pro headphones. These are an absolute great deal for what you are getting. If you want premium sound and options , but don't want to spend a ton of money - these are a great choice. I would recommend these.

I dunno why some other companies can't get it right like Earfun does!!? Thank God for a super comfortable pair of headphones and tbh they are not far off from Sony XM6 as far as sound quality!Obviously you need to EQ some to get your desired sound but some headphones just don't have it in them but these do. I would really like to see Earfun come out with a bit more high end effort. If they can do this well for $60 let's see what they can do with a $150-200 pair!I had to return the XM6 bc of the awkward design was putting upward pressure on my jaw. I really don't feel like I am missing anything soundwise as these sound spectacular.I'm very impressed thank you Earfun. If I could make a marketing suggestion you guys would do much better to come up with a cool logo with the letters EF instead of splashing Earfun on the headphones themselves ... just saying it's not exactly fashionable so perhaps some improvements would be justified.

3rd update: for some reason I ran into an issue where it wouldn't power off. Nothing in the manual stated anything and there weren't any reviews that said anything about it. I finally plugged it in and it automatically turned it off. In case anybody else runs into that issue, that's how to do it.2nd update: so the voice activation is basically allowing you to use hey Google or Siri. There are multiple ways you can activate the voice assistant. If you go to the app, you can choose which button to press in order to activate it. I have chosen a long press on the noise cancellation button. Response time with email is usually once within a 24-hour period. I will say that the customer service is very good for this company. I will keep this product. It does not meet my expectations, but because of the customer service and knowing that I can reach out to them for any issues, allows me some peace of mind. At this time, I can neither recommend nor not recommend this product.Update: There is some delay on the Bluetooth to TV when using multi-device. The pass through also sounds like rain. The headset is a bit big on me. There is room at the top so it kind of sags a bit on my ears unless I turn it around to where the left is on the right and the right is on the left (which also makes the noise cancellation better as well). The app is slow and sometimes doesn't recognize that my headphones are connected to my bluetooth. If you're connected to another device, for example the TV, you cannot use the app to make adjustments. For example, I wanted to make sure that I was in the LDAC mode but could not check that unless I was paired with my phone. I'm still waiting to hear back from the company (via email) regarding how the voice assistant works because there is no information whatsoever regarding what to expect or how to use the voice assistant within the manual. I followed the instructions on how to activate it, but nothing happened. There are absolutely no instructions on what to expect or what to do.This is the third set of noise canceling headsets I've bought looking for the perfect pair. I've already returned two. I'm debating on returning this one. I cannot seem to find a perfect pair of noise canceling headsets. The settings for the music was perfect. Even after attempting to adjust it, I could not do better than the default. The fit was nice although just a little bit tight on the ears but big on the head. My ears did start to sweat after a couple of hours. My main complaint with this is the noise cancellation and the pass through. The noise cancellation is not enough. I could hear my fan, the full sound (no muffle) of my dog barking, and I could hear my voice while singing. Singing wasn't any better or different than the regular setting and the pass-through setting. The pass-through sounds very tinny. Almost like a magnetic squeal. Although it does come with a nice enough case, it's not a very sturdy case. If you put pressure on it, you are likely going to cause damage. They do offer you a 2-year warranty if you register your headset. I had no problems with the phone call that I received. Overall, I really cannot recommend this for the ANC and pass through or the case it comes in. Everything else seemed fine enough.
