Score: 76/100
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 Peony
Score: 71/100Rankings
The EarFun Air Pro 3 combines hybrid adaptive ANC, extensive high-resolution codec support and wireless charging, delivering strong value for budget-focused ANC seekers. Its heavy, bulky design and muted treble limit comfort and audio detail for discerning listeners. Best suited for users who need effective ANC and codec versatility without premium price constraints.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are compact true-wireless earbuds with Silent Seal ANC and an 11 mm driver, offering solid sound and Google Assistant integration. Battery life is limited to roughly five hours with ANC and the case provides a modest 25-hour boost, while the IP rating and lack of wireless charging are notable compromises. Best suited for Android users who value Google services and ANC over extended runtime.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the EarFun Air Pro series for its effective low-frequency ANC, warm bass-forward sound, long battery life, and impressive codec support, positioning it as a strong value proposition in the sub-$100 ANC market. However, they note drawbacks such as a bulky form factor, limited high-frequency ANC performance, lack of an EQ app, and a narrow soundstage, which may deter audiophiles seeking refined treble or extensive customization.
Everyday users praise the earbuds for their solid ANC, strong bass, long battery life, and durability, often highlighting the excellent price-to-performance ratio. Recurring complaints focus on the bulkier fit, finicky touch controls, subpar call quality, and the need for better high-frequency clarity.
“best budget ANC earbuds”
“phenomenal... many years”
“Comfortable fit and useful ANC”
Professional reviewers highlight the Pixel Buds Pro's comfortable fit and effective Silent Seal™ ANC, noting the 11 mm driver and 6 mm nozzle deliver solid audio across volume levels. They appreciate the intuitive touch controls and clear call performance, but point out the need for occasional fit tweaks during movement and the absence of adaptive volume control.
Everyday users praise the earbuds for their lightweight comfort, customizable tips, and reliable ANC that helps them stay focused during daily commutes and calls. Common complaints revolve around the earbuds shifting during activity, a desire for longer battery life, and the perception that the fit can feel slightly clogged if the tip size isn't ideal.
