EarFun Air Pro 4
Score: 87/100
Apple AirPods 4
Score: 78/100Rankings
EarFun Air Pro 4 delivers high-resolution audio, strong adaptive ANC, and a long-lasting battery in a budget-friendly package. Its lightweight design, fast charging, and extensive codec support make it a compelling choice, though the build feels plastic and latency may bother serious gamers.
The AirPods 4 deliver solid sound, excellent integration with Apple devices, and a comfortable fit, but they lack ANC and wireless charging. They are best suited for users deep in the Apple ecosystem who value spatial audio and fast charging.

Professional reviewers consistently highlight the Air Pro 4's impressive value proposition, noting its strong sound signature, solid ANC for the price point and the inclusion of high-res codecs and Auracast. While the earbuds deliver a feature-rich experience, critics point out that the latency isn't low enough for competitive gaming and the ANC falls short of flagship models on higher frequencies.
Everyday users love the long battery life, punchy bass and reliable ANC for travel, as well as the clear call quality and the novelty of Auracast in public spaces. Common frustrations revolve around the lack of on-ear volume controls, a somewhat finicky companion app, occasional over-sensitive touch inputs, and a case that feels a bit large for pocket storage.
Professional reviewers praise the sound quality that rivals the AirPods Pro, the comfort of the new contour, and the H2 chip's computational audio, while noting the missing ANC and limited appeal for non-Apple users.
Everyday users love the richer bass, clear call quality, secure fit during workouts, and immersive Spatial Audio, but complain about the lack of ANC, no wireless charging, and case durability.
“Battery life is incredible - I only charge the case once a week.”
“The bass is punchy and doesn't muddy the mids - great for hip-hop and rock.”
“ANC blocks out airplane and office noise really well.”
