EarFun Air Pro 3
Score: 79/100
Philips TAA5508
Score: 81/100Rankings
Philips TAA5508 sport earbuds combine hybrid ANC with wind cancellation, long 31-hour total battery life, and rapid 5-minute quick charge in an IPX5-rated design. The treble is less detailed and codec support is limited to LC3. They target active users needing reliable ANC and endurance.
The EarFun Air Pro 3 offers hybrid ANC, aptX Adaptive, wireless charging and a solid 45 h total battery life. Its ANC isn't flagship-class and wireless charging may be flaky. Best for budget-conscious commuters and gym users who want ANC without a premium price tag.

TechRadar praises the Air Pro 4's upgraded Bluetooth 5.4, LDAC support and lightweight 5 g design, noting solid high-resolution sound despite the smaller driver, while SoundGuys highlights the comfortable fit, IPX5 durability and improved ANC, though both acknowledge the sound can become tinny at high volumes and that the ANC is not flagship-class.
Everyday users appreciate the stable 15 m range, intuitive touch controls, effective ANC for commuting and gym use, long battery life, and the app's fit test that improves seal and sound. Common complaints revolve around occasional connectivity drops, reduced ANC when the fit is loose, tinny highs at loud volumes, and inconsistent wireless charging of the case.
Professional reviewers consider the TAA5508 a solid choice for sport-oriented users, praising its secure fit, adaptive ANC with wind-noise mitigation, strong battery life with quick charge, and clear call performance, while noting that the treble is not as refined as premium competitors.
Everyday users generally express high satisfaction, highlighting comfort, lasting battery, effective ANC during runs, and reliable water resistance, with occasional remarks about the need for sharper high-frequency detail.
“"they stayed securely in ears throughout the run with good bass response perfect for workouts"”
Choose Air Pro 4 for newer Bluetooth features and better ANC; stick with Air Pro 3 if you prefer the slightly larger driver and can forego LDAC.
