EarFun Wave Life Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Over Ear Bluetooth 5.4 Headphones, 4 Mics AI Clear Call, Deep Bass, 60H Playtime, Comfortable Fit, Custom EQ, Multipoint Connection

Good for the price
At the time of reviewing the list price is £69 but on offer for £42. I would say at their current price they offer great build quality and pretty decent noise cancelling and OK sound.The headphones certainly feel well built and solid enough and the earpieces are super comfortable and the fit is adjustable. The headphones fold for easier packing or transporting but don’t come with a travel case (not really a negative at this price).The headphones charge using a USB C cable and they were really easy to connect to my phone. The sound out of the box is very flat and I would recommend downloading the Soundcore app to use their preset profiles or create your own, they really make a big difference. The other reason to download the app is to keep the firmware up to date as Soundcore do support their earphones quite well.The sound is good for the price but I wasn’t blown away with them but perfect for everyday listening. The ambient sound option is great, allowing you to hear when people are talking to you and the noise cancellation does make a big difference at reducing background sound.I haven’t found call quality so good but the noise cancellation does reduce background sound however it does clip your voice a bit more than I would like.The headphones last a good long time on a charge, I would estimate 20 or 30 hours.Overall I like these headphones and will continue to use them.

Comfortable but could be better in the sound profile.
Comfortable headphones that wrap around the head with enough pressure to offer a good cushion without hurting.The sound is nothing to shout about; I know these are a budget pair of headphones but I am using an EQ with bass turned up and I don’t think they offer enough even though they’re advertised as having “deep bass.” The treble is too much for my liking and I don’t think it blends in nicely with the overall soundstage these headphones try to achieve. I can still comfortably listen to these as the EQ helps and offers decent listening.They come with ANC and to be honest they do a decent job at cancelling out external sounds but the ambient sound falls short. I struggle to hear external noises when music is playing at a normal volume, unlike other headphones I’ve tested.I’m going to mark 4 stars out of 5. They’re good headphones, minus the slight downfall in the sound profile. I have heard better in this price range.

Pretty good sound, but a lot of leakage and distortion and higher volumes
My first impressions were very positive. Feel decent enough in terms of quality, though the softness of the padding doesn’t feel it will be that durable. Sound was very good – nice balance of bass and treble, though perhaps a little lacking in mid range (can be tweaked in equaliser settings on the phone, to help). Certainly sound better than the price tag would suggest. Noise cancelling works very well too. Controls are straightforward once you’ve read the instructions, and more importantly, are intuitive/tactile enough to use them without looking. But, for me, these have 2 issues. I listen to music with bass, and they distort a bit at higher volumes. Second, the sound leaks a lot, so people around you can hear it. So, if you listen alone, and not bass heavy music, then I’d recommend – albeit you may want to think about a case. For me, they are good but not quite there.

A trust worthy brand
The sound leaves a little to be desired the bass is too strong for me fortunately we have an EQ for that thank goodness as most budget brand headphones don’t have such a luxury as an app, the build quality is about what I’d expect for this price range though they are fairly comfortable and very lightweight.I also did a sanity check on those awards they say they have as some brands advertise them and they haven’t won them but earfun are the real deal which gives me greater confidence in the brand I’ll be keeping and eye on earfun.

Dopo aver provato accuratamente il prodotto, posso confermare la mia primissima impressione. Prodotto ideale per chi vuole risparmiare (rispetto ad un prodotto simile ma un po’ più completo come le Earfun Wave Pro) ma senza rinunciare alla qualità di ascolto. A differenza delle Pro queste non sono utilizzabili tramite cavo jack 3.5, ma il codec bluetooth AAC permette di godere tutte le gamme sonore, con una latenza impercettibile. I microfoni sono buoni, in chiamata l’interlocutore ci sente ottimamente. L’ANC è uno dei punti di forza di queste over ear, l’ambient mode è migliorabile ma grazie agli aggiornamenti software a cadenza periodica, verrà sicuramente ottimizzata. L’app di supporto è completa e presenta la possibilità di agire sull’equalizzazione delle diverse frequenze. I bassi sono corposi e coinvolgenti, i medi presentano la giusta chiarezza. Gli alti sono brillanti, senza distorsione. Il volume è già ottimo nella configurazione di default, ma eventualmente aumentando l’intensità delle frequenze di qualche punto, si può aumentare senza peggiorare la qualità sonora. L’archetto è ergonomico e non infastidisce nell’uso prolungato. Nel complesso si tratta di un ottimo prodotto sia per l’ascolto musicale, che per l’isolamento acustico. Consigliato.

Things I like:Comfortable fitDecent build qualityBluetooth 5.3Easy to navigate buttonsDecent ANCApp controls and featuresThings I don’t like:No caseNo 3.5 MM JackPoor sound quality out of the boxEQ settings lower volume levelsI have owned several EarFun audio products in the past including their earbuds and speakers so I figured I would give these headphones a try.Unboxing/build quality:Inside the box you will find the headphones which are plastic wrapped, a USB C cable and owners manual. I was surprised to find these headphones don’t come with a case. A case would’ve been nice to keep these headphones protected when I am not wearing them. I have heard the EarFun Wave Pro does come with a case but from what I can gather is that these headphones are more of a budget friendly set of headphones. The headphones themselves seem to be very well designed and built with the construction being made out of mostly plastic with a metal band that’s wrapped in pleather and the ear cups are on metal swivels and rubber buttons. On the right ear cup you will find the rubber buttons that control the Active Noise Canceling as well as plus and minus buttons with a multifunction button in between the plus and minus buttons as well as the USB C port however, I was disappointed to find there was no 3.5 mm port. On both earcups you will see the four mics which work well with the active noise canceling as well as making phone calls which seemed to be pretty clear. The headphones are very comfortable and I never experienced any fatigue wearing them for long periods.App features:If you own any other EarFun product and have used the app then you should be familiar with the app. When you open the EarFun app you should be prompted to connect the headphones to the app in which you will be able to control the ANC, adjust EQ settings, select game mode which lowers the latency on the headphones, make any changes to the controls (which by default on these headphones is – which lowers your volume with a short press, a long press controls previous track, the multifunction button which controls play, pause and answer calls and the plus button which is volume up on short press, long press is next track.), dual device connection, voice prompt setting, automatic shutdown settings, as well as your owners guide and, firmware version and updates. The app is very easy to navigate and make adjustments to your headphones.ANC:These headphones have four different ANC settings (normal, ambient, wind noise cancellation, noise cancelling) all three ANC features seem to work perfectly fine wind noise cancellation seems to work well in the windy conditions we have had here recently, outside noise with ambient sound brings in sounds as it should and everything sounds natural, noise cancellation works well too.Sound quality:Out of the box when I first started listening to music I wasn’t a fan of the sound signature, they were very bass heavy with a lack of detail in the mids and the highs were very muffled and recessed to me. Luckily EarFun has an app to adjust the sound to your liking however when you start adjusting your EQ settings you will notice a decrease of the volume levels on the headphones. I was able to adjust the EQ settings so there was clearer vocals and the mids were better and reduced the lower bass and increased the upper bass. (See pics.)Overall I was pleased to see what EarFun can offer for such a lower price I was just disappointed on the sound quality these headphones have out of the box.
