JLab Go Air Pop Lilac
Score: 52/100
EarFun Free 2S
Score: 45/100Rankings
The JLab GO Air Pop delivers impressive total battery life, a lightweight fit, IPX4 resistance and dual-connect capability at a budget price. It lacks USB-C charging, an app, and active noise cancellation, and its latency is high for gaming or video.
The EarFun Free 2S delivers solid sound, long battery life and robust waterproofing at a budget price, but lacks ANC and suffers from occasional connectivity quirks.
