EarFun Air Pro 3
Score: 79/100
Soundcore V20i
Score: 76/100Rankings
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.
The Soundcore V20i provides an open-ear design with strong bass, long battery life, and robust IP55 protection. It lacks active noise cancellation and can sound hollow, and the hooks may need adjustment. Best for active users who prioritize awareness and battery endurance over immersive isolation.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
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 commend the V20i for its comfortable open-ear hook design, strong bass via BassUp, clear call performance with AI-enhanced microphones, and robust IP55-rated durability. However, they point out the hollow sound signature, lack of active noise cancellation, and a weight that is higher than some ultra-light competitors.
Everyday users love the secure fit, long battery life, bass punch, and the fun, music-synced lighting, while repeatedly noting the hollow audio character, occasional app glitches, and the need to fine-tune the hooks for a perfect fit.
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.
