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 Technics EAH-AZ80-K provides high-resolution audio, effective dual-hybrid ANC, and a rich feature set including multipoint pairing and wireless charging. Its battery life and touch-control sensitivity are the main drawbacks for power users.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).

Professional reviewers praised the AZ80 for its rich sound, effective hybrid ANC, and excellent call quality, earning high marks from CNET and HIFI Trends.
Everyday users highlight the superb audio fidelity, comfortable fit, and long case battery life, while repeatedly noting the reduced LDAC runtime, touch-control sensitivity, and limited tip selection on the newer model.

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.
“The sound is rich and detailed, perfect for my daily commute.”

“Touch controls are too sensitive; I keep pausing my music unintentionally.”

“Battery lasts all day with ANC off, but drops fast with LDAC.”
