Nothing Ear (a) White
Score: 86/100
EarFun Air Pro 4
Score: 87/100Rankings
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 Nothing Ear (a) in white offers the same transparent design, hybrid ANC and long battery life as the black version, but shares the same compromises in sound balance and lack of wireless charging.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Reviewers commend the comfortable lightweight build, battery life and app integration, while noting mediocre audio fidelity, underwhelming ANC and missing wireless charging.
Users love the eye-catching design, battery longevity and clear calls, yet many complain about ANC not meeting expectations and occasional Bluetooth instability.
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.
