Outstanding earbuds for the price!
I bought these earbuds after reading a review on CNet.com about them, and I'm so glad I did. I was looking for a reasonably priced second pair of earbuds. I also own a pair of Jabra Elite 65t earbuds, and—at one-third the price—the EarFun earbuds are a better value.tl;dr: definitely recommended!The pros:1. The EarFuns sound nearly as good as the Jabras (there's just a bit less bass with the EarFuns, but definitely not enough to justify the 3x price premium of the Jabras).2. The EarFuns fit better in my ears than the Jabras (of course this will vary for each person). The CNet reviewer stressed getting a tight fit for good sound, but I don't have any problem with the fit. Sound isolation is just as good as the Jabras.3. The EarFuns seem to stay connected (to the phone and to each other) better than the Jabras, and experience less interference. The Jabra's encounter static and dropoouts whenever I walk through automatic doors (say at the supermarket) and even in certain places around my house (maybe due to my wifi repeaters). This also happens at the gym if I'm in certain places. I haven't experienced this issue at all with the EarFuns—the connection to the phone and each other is rock solid, and the bluetooth range is excellent.4. The EarFun's storage/charging case is MUCH better than the Jabra's. For one thing it's flat on the bottom (the Jabra's case is curved and cannot sit upright on a flat surface). The EarFun case also has magnets that hold the earbuds in the case while charging; the Jabra earbuds just sit loosely in their case. The EarFun case can also be charged wirelessly (as well as with the included USB-C charging cable); the Jabra case uses a micro USB charging cable. If you already have a wireless charging pad for your phone, this is a great bonus, since you don't have to worry about the charging connector wearing out over time.Cons:1. The EarFuns can't control the sound volume. I realize this is a premium feature, but I miss it compared to the Jabras.2. The EarFuns don't have the auto-pause feature that the Jabras do (removing one earbud from your ear pauses the music until you put it back in your ear). Again, a premium feature, and you *can* pause the music from either EarFun earbud by tapping the button.3. The EarFuns seemed a bit picky about pairing with multiple devices, at least initially. I had to re-pair them a couple times, and once even had to reset their connection to each other (this is covered in the instructions). But I haven't had to do either of those recently, so maybe that was just me getting used to operating them.4. The print in the user's manual is SUPER TINY and printed in gray, not black, ink. I'm in my 50s, and even with reading glasses I couldn't make out the text and infographics. I had to use my phone's camera as a magnifying glass to read the instructions. It's possible they're available online (I didn't try to find out), but I suspect even younger folks will have trouble reading the instructions.To be determined:I use earbuds mostly for music listening, not making phone calls. I know the Jabras work reasonably well for that, but I haven't had the opportunity to use the EarFuns on a call, so I can't comment on how well they work for that.Conclusion:If I hadn't gotten a great deal on my Jabras (I paid less than half the list price due to a couple of online deals I was able to take advantage of), I would be really pissed that I'd paid so much when I could have bought the EarFuns for 1/3 the price and gotten an overall better value. The EarFuns are going to stay in my gym bag, and I'll use the Jabras around the house. I'm, even considering buying another pair of EarFuns for listening in bed.As I write this in mid-December 2019, I've only had the EarFuns for a few days, so it's possible my rosy outlook will change if they turn out to be duds later. I will update this review in a few weeks after I've used them for a while. But as of right now, I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reasonably priced set of earbuds that have terrific sound. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and for the price you can't beat them.UPDATE October 15, 2020: still loving my Ear Fun Free earbuds! In fact, I just bought a second pair, and the new model has volume controls, which The last model didn't have, and Even other earbuds that are twice the price don't have this feature. You will not go wrong with these earbuds!Ver másVer menos
