EarFun Air 2
Score: 78/100
QCY MeloBuds Pro with ANC
Score: 81/100Rankings
The QCY MeloBuds Pro deliver hybrid adaptive ANC up to 46 dB, LDAC high-resolution audio and a six-mic array in a lightweight 4 g design. The trade-off is reduced battery life with ANC on and a plastic case that isn't waterproof. They suit budget-conscious audiophiles and frequent callers who value premium sound and strong 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.
