EarFun Air Pro 3
Score: 79/100
SoundPEATS C30 with ANC
Score: 87/100Rankings
The SoundPEATS C30 earbuds deliver hybrid ANC up to 52 dB, LDAC hi-res audio, and up to 52 hours of total playback. Their battery life and feature set are impressive for the price, but LDAC disables certain functions and the ANC is slightly weaker than premium models. Best suited for budget-conscious Android users seeking high-resolution sound and strong noise cancellation.
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.
“best wireless earbuds under $50”
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.
Professional reviewers praise the C30 for delivering premium-class ANC, LDAC Hi-Res audio and exceptional battery life at a sub-$50 price point. Scarbir and Tech With Korey both give high marks to the adaptive 52 dB ANC and note the stable Bluetooth 6.0 connection, while WhatGadget highlights codec support. The app's deep customization and fast charging are also repeatedly commended, though reviewers flag that LDAC disables several useful modes.
Everyday users, though few in number, consistently highlight the earbuds' value-for-money, strong ANC silence and long battery life. A Versus.com reviewer rates them 9/10 as the best sub-$50 option, emphasizing the "overwhelming silence" from ANC and the LDAC advantage, while no major complaints have surfaced due to limited review volume.
