Performance

To start my listening experience with the EarFun Wave Pro headphones, I charged them fully, then installed the EarFun Audio App and connected to Bluetooth. Here is the Bluetooth connection screen and some screenshots from the app:

App:

I started listening to these EarFun Wave Pro headphones with the sound of the previous sub $100 brands and models I tested in my mind.  Based on my previous experience, my expectations for these headphones were not completely fulfilled. I have nothing bad to say about their overall performance, but IMHO they fell a bit short of what I expected.  I maintained the previous music selection that I chose to test the other headphones. As a reminder, this selection is purely based on my taste and preferences. As usual, I listened to tracks like “All in Love is Fair”, “Distant Lover” and “I Want You” by Michael McDonald. Next, on the list I listened to “Europa” by Gate Barbieri, “Winelight” by Grover Washington Jr., and “Angela (theme from ‘Taxi’) by Bob James. Then as I did before, it was on to some Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, and Mariah Carey. Once again I added some of the Flamenco genre with tracks like Govi’s Andalusian Nights.

The EarFun Wave Pro headphones lack some presence across all frequency ranges, from lows to mids to highs. I am not saying that it is impossible to use them for basic everyday listening. However, regardless of what I listen to whether it is music, movies, or YouTube videos, the bass seems a bit muddy even at frequencies that are not very low. The mids are just decent and the highs lack the presence and range that make the experience for me. Again this is my opinion.

Phone conversations are clean and clear, and the headphones are lightweight so there is no fatigue wearing them for long listening sessions.

What I like about the EarFun Wave Pro headphones

  • They are lightweight and comfortable
  • A hard case is included
  • They work for daily easy listening
  • They can be used wireless or wired
  • The ANC works well

What needs to be improved?

  • The frequency response and presence for lows, mids, and highs

Final thoughts

EarFun Wave Pro 5

The EarFun Wave Pro headphones are extremely comfortable to wear and while they are adequate for daily use, IMHO they lack a certain frequency presence and detail across all frequencies. Still, for the price, they will work for many people as on-the-go headphones.
