EarFun Air 2
Score: 78/100
Nothing Wireless Earbuds
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Nothing Ear earbuds combine 11 mm ceramic drivers, hybrid ANC up to 45 dB, and LDAC/LHDC support with wireless charging and a lightweight design. While the ANC doesn't reach its claimed attenuation and volume is modest, they excel in sound quality and feature set. Perfect for users who prioritize audio fidelity and customization over maximum ANC.
The EarFun Air 2 are true-wireless earbuds offering 10 mm drivers, IPX7 waterproofing and up to 35 hours of total playback with fast charging. They lack active noise cancellation and advanced codecs, which may limit audiophile appeal. Ideal for active users seeking long battery life and rugged durability.

Professional reviewers commend the EarFun Air for its impressive battery endurance, IPX7 waterproofing, comfortable lightweight fit, solid build with wireless charging, and a lively sound signature that delivers punchy bass and clear mids. However, they note the lack of active noise cancellation, an EQ app, and advanced Bluetooth codecs as drawbacks that keep the earbuds from competing with higher-end models.
Everyday users echo the professional praise for long battery life, comfortable secure fit, and reliable waterproof performance during workouts. They also appreciate clear call quality and the convenience of single-ear mode, while recurring complaints focus on bass becoming muddy at high volumes, occasional touch-control misfires, and the absence of ANC or an app for sound tuning.
Professional reviewers commend the Nothing Ear earbuds for their standout sound quality, high-resolution codec support, and a well-implemented app that adds deep customization. While battery life and wireless charging are praised, the ANC is noted as underperforming relative to its marketing claims, and the maximum volume is considered modest for very loud environments.
Everyday users appreciate the lightweight comfort, effective passive isolation, and the convenience of customizable pinch controls, but they frequently mention that the ANC does not match premium rivals and that the earbuds could be louder in noisy settings. The transparent case's fingerprint-prone finish also draws regular complaints.
