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”
Professional reviewers commend the Galaxy Buds FE for delivering strong ANC, comfortable lightweight design, and solid microphone performance at a budget price, while noting the lack of multi-device pairing, volume controls, and a bass-heavy sound signature as notable compromises.
Everyday users generally praise the comfort, effective ANC for commuting, and the pocket-sized case, but repeatedly mention the limited battery endurance without the case, missing volume controls, and the case's slippery glossy finish as common pain points.
