EarFun Free Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, Hi-Res Sound, Snapdragon Sound with Qualcomm aptX™ Adaptive, 6 Mics ENC, Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds, Multipoint Connection, Custom App, Wireless Charge

6mo Update: Raised the rating to a 5 because of the great customer support that backed up the warranty with no hesitation. I had some issues with Ambient and ANC mode, reached out, and they offered some advice to help fix it. I tried it out, and it lessened the issues but didn’t fix them 100%. So they sent a replacement that arrived in a day or two; no further questions asked. If you’re interested in these, get them. Original Review: If I could, I would give these a 4.5. I've had these for about 2 months now, and use them almost every day. In short, I don't want another pair of earbuds, and these are almost perfect for me. From the sound quality, to the customization of buds, to the app, the EQ, and the case, these buds should be more popular than they are. They're the most functional buds I've ever owned, and I love them I might just propose to them. But they do have some cons that seem like an oversight for $80. Luckily for me, I got it on a discount with a promo code and a free case. And, at the discounted price, I'd immediately recommend it. But, to be fair, I'll compare it to my last earbuds of 2 years - the JLab Go Air Pop. Pros: - Great Sound Quality I'll go more into detail in the next point. But, with or without adjusting the EQ, the sound quality is great. Not just for the price, but great in general. Now, with the EQ, the sound quality definitely lives up to the cliche of "immersive." Arguably, the best sounding buds I've ever used. - The App: EQ First and foremost, the app works exceptionally well. It connects to the buds and the case quickly, and it functions exactly how you expect it to. Now, The EQ... Best EQ I've ever used. And you can clearly hear every change you make from the highs to the low. The bass lives up to the reviews, but the mids and highs sound just as great. On top of that, you can name and save multiple EQ presets, adjust old ones and save them as new ones, AND you still have access to about 10+ other presets that come with the app. Personally, I don't want a lot of bass in my songs. So I love that I have the option to lower it manually, or change my mind and raise it up. My advice is, once you get the buds and the app, get your 3 favorite songs/audiobooks/podcast (a combo of 3. Or 3 of each, I'm not your daddy,) and adjust the EQ for each one, and save each one separately. ...you can also just use the presets that come with it, but I want my earbuds to sound like they're *mine*. - Ambient Mode I work in a loud warehouse, so I need these partially to protect my eardrums. Thing is, if I have these in to lessen the sound of the warehouse, then I can't fully hear when I need to talk to someone. That's where my favorite mode - Ambient Mode - comes in. I can hear everything around me while listening to music/audiobooks. I need to try it out more in conversations. But it works great, and honestly better than I expect at times. I currently have it set up to where, if I tap the left bud once, I switch from normal mode to ambient. - The App & Customization In my opinion, the app ups the value of these buds by ALOT. The fact that you can start customizing almost everything about the earphones, in less than 3 seconds of the app connecting to the buds, makes the user experience so much more engaging and personal. With the four different tap options per bud, a quick tap takes me to my most used feature (Play/Pause), and double taps adjust the volume. I can connect the buds to two or more devices at once, and switch what I'm listening to just by pressing play. - Stays in the ear Whether I'm running, jump-roping, squat hop, doing boxing drills, etc., they stay in. Now, to be fair, YMMV depending on the ear tips you use (more on this in the Cons list,) but they work great for me. Because of the weight of the JLabs, I would constantly have to adjust them. - Great Battery Life + Charges Quickly I work 9-12 hour shifts doing an extraordinarily repetitive and boring job. If I don't have something to listen with, I will clock out and go home. Not exaggerating. The great thing about these buds is that, in my experience, the buds alone last around 9.5 hours on a single charge. And a good 20 minutes in the case gets me to the end of my shift. The battery life is less than the JLab Go Air Pop, but that's to be expected with the size difference. The case itself lasts about 2-3 work days, and will fully charge in about 40-60 minutes. - Smallest profile than most earbuds I've used I originally found out about Earfun by looking up earbuds for small ears. Now, to be honest, these don't fit fully snug into my ears (because I also have very small ear canals,) but they are the smallest and best fitting buds I've ever used. - The Earfun Free Pro 3 protective case is a must-buy imo This makes my life so much easier. By clipping the case onto my keys, I can make sure I never have to worry about my earphones falling out of my pocket, or forgetting my keys. Cons: - Provided ear tips do not provide a good seal, and they hurt after awhile With the JLabs, I didn't need ANC because (I assume) the weight and design would push the buds into my ears, causing a great seal. That plus the tips made it to where I never had to think about the lack of ANC. But the Earfun ear tips are fairly thin and flimsy, which seems to play a part in a bad noise seal. The only exception to this is the foam, but that leads me to the next issue: All of the ear tips hurt my ears after a few weeks of use. On the plastic tips, there's a ridge that seem to scratch the skin after awhile. The ear wings also have this ridge, but I've only ran into this issue once. This led to me using ear tips from other brands. - The "Find Headphones" feature is just a loud sound Which is great. But, I was hoping for a bluetooth tracker that would help me find my buds in case I miss placed them. It would be great if both could be added in the Free Pro 4. - ANC is just ok The Active Noise Cancellation is good in certain scenarios. But there are some frequencies of noises that will still cut through. This, along with the "eh" ear tips, makes for ANC that is honestly just better than nothing. Even with the 4 in-app options, I personally like using normal mode more than ANC. What I'd Like To See In the Free Pro 4: - Better quality and more comfortable ear tips Personally, I still use the HTC One M7 wired earbuds' ear tips. The phone came out back in ~2013, but the tips still work well for my ear. I would also like an even smaller ear tip option, but that might be a lot to ask. - The option to lower the volume of Ambient Mode in the app I love this mode, but sometimes it’s too loud to have on all the time. The problem is, if you need to hear your surroundings at a moment's notice, you have to wait for the ANC mode to load, then wait for Normal mode to load. I wish I could go in the app, adjust the volume of the ambient noise, and then had... - The option to choose which audio modes you switch between It would be great if I could only switch between Normal & Ambient, or ANC & Ambient, instead of having to skip past a mode that I rarely use. - Improved ANC I think improving the ear tip quality alone could improve the effect of the ANC. But, as it is right now, I almost never use this mode. With all that said, if the Earfun Free Pro 4 addresses all of these issues, I would buy it immediately at full price. As for the 3's, it's sitting next to me right now.

TL:DR... Just buy them! Let me start by saying that I own 32 pairs of TWS earbuds, 6 wired earbuds/IEMs, and 10 headphones. I try to get a good mix of each at different price points, so they're equally distributed between budget, mid-tier, and premium. Weird hobby, I know. That said, these would be freakishly good at double the price. As I own the first 2 generations, I bought these strictly out of curiosity, as I wanted to compare Earfun's 3rd gen offering to those. I thought the improvement from Gen 1 to Gen 2 was amazing but this jump is even bigger. I even prefer these to the Earfun Air Pro 3, which were my favorite Earfun buds. Here's why. THE PROs Everything about Earfun's newest offering is amazing: EQ-customizable sound, ANC, transparency, calls, battery life & wireless charging, compact size, and feature set. They have every feature I can think of except for in-ear detection. Qualcomm sound and Apt-x Adaptive codecs are the icing on the cake. I know everyone gushes over LDAC, but I prefer Apt-X Adaptive as my favorite codec. Value Until I bought these, I thought my Soundcore Liberty 4 NC would retain its title of Value King for a long time. They didn't. The only thing I favor on those is the Soundcore App. The Earfun app is still loaded with features, though, my favorite thing being the selectable ANC mode. Added bonus: these are extremely comfortable and feel secure when you wear them, thanks to the ear fins. You can wear these to bed, even if you're a side sleeper because they're so small and don't stick out of your ears. The only non-sleep-dedicated buds that I have that are smaller than these are JLAB's JBuds Mini. (Those things are impressively tiny!) THE CONS This wouldn't be a proper review without some critique. As I mentioned, these lack wearing detection. I don't mind that much. However, if I had to name something to gripe about, it would be that I don't think the bass, although quite prominent, is as controlled as on some of my higher-end earbuds. Even after messing with both the preset and custom EQ settings, I can't get the massive bass level I prefer without also adding a lot of boominess. This is a similar issue I have with my Sony WF-XB700. By contrast, Jabra 85T, Soundpeats Opera 5, and Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro let me rattle my head but still maintain control over the bass. That's not quite fair though, since the Opera and the L3P have dual drivers. The L4P has much cleaner bass, although it can't get as prominent as these can. It's a shame. The mids and highs are near-perfect, but cranking up the bass throws mud all over them. Conclusion For less than $80, I just can't see how anyone wouldn't be jumping for joy after purchasing these because I don't think there's currently a better option at this price for all-around performance and features.

These are the second round of Earfun trying to fix what wasnt broken. The original Free Pro were near perfect out of the box, taking the excellent FIIL design and adapting it for the western market while only mildly adjusting the sound. The slightly warmer sound the original pro had compared to the FIIL it came from lost very little details in the highs while being slightly more comfortable. Then they messed everything up with the Free pro 2. These had a bulkier rounder design that did not feel as small and comfy in the ears. While the drivers were as high quality as the original pros, they out of the box sound was awful, with everything being smothered in overpowering dull lows. This could be fixed in EQ as the the driver was still good, but was quite a bit of work. The one plus of the 2 was some minor improvements in ANC and mic quality. The Free Pro 3 is a great step back towards the Pro. The shape and size feels more like the original pro fitting comfortably in the ear. The new rubber loop design is not as comfortable but seems to be locked on better, where the both earlier models were prone to wearing out and shifting. The sound out of the box is still way to warm, but not as bad as the 2. The real trick that makes these a great buy is the earfun app. The earfun EQ has an Oluv natural, and Oluv boosted setting. Both of these are very well tuned options created by a third party that instantly fix the sound, bringing it roughly up to the level of the original free pro. Combined with significant anc and mice improvements as well as other quality of life features these turn into a pretty great buy. Ultimately these are comfortable with good tips (Free pro 1 and 3 feel so nice and small in the ear, while locking in with the rubber loop). Sound great with the Oluv settings and have great features. Build quality also seems to have moved up a notch from the original free pro, and definitely from the free pro 2. I just wish Oluv's fix wasn't so important and Earfun would go back to not ruining the fantastic FIIL sound they import. One thing to note if you plan on replacing the tips with spinfits (heavily recommended). These use the full size/long ones that did not fit properly in the case of the original free pro.

I found this for my budget. Comfort on ears, sound quality is amazing, battery lost for a long time, and app is just perfect with custom EQ , call quality is perfect, well worth for the price. Bought before this; Bose quite comfort , returned because call quality was so bad other parties said they couldn’t really hear me, and it’s too big. Beats pro 2 too expensive and sound quality is nowhere near this EarFun , so returned. I use it for my workouts and calls and my online work meetings, works just perfect, I’m really happy with this product and yes do recommend!

I bought the EarFun Free Pro 3 because they are the successor to a pair I’ve been using for about two years, the EarFun Free Pro 2, which I’ll refer to as “Pro2” from now on. Since I’ve spent so much time with the Pro2, it’s only natural that I’ll be making comparisons between the two. WHAT I'VE LIKED ABOUT THE PRO3: More compact and lightweight: Both the earbuds and the case are smaller and lighter, which makes them feel more refined. Improved touch control design: The shape of the earbuds makes it more intuitive and comfortable to use the touch panel. The flat edges give better precision and usability compared to the Pro2. Sound quality and app integration: The audio is excellent, and having access to the EarFun app on Android is a big plus. The multi-device connection also works flawlessly and makes switching between devices super convenient. Battery life: Just like with the Pro2, I can go nearly a whole week without charging them. I love that, and they continue to deliver in that regard. Noise cancellation: Works well, better than the Pro2 in my opinion. It effectively blocks out annoying ambient sounds. My main reason for choosing these over other earbuds: "Comfort" during workouts. I put that in quotes because, so far (after about two weeks of use), comfort hasn’t been one of the strongest points. I’ll explain more below. That said, I have used them while working out, and they’ve performed well, staying in place without falling out. WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Transparency mode: This was significantly better on the Pro2. The difference is noticeable. I’ve tested every available transparency setting in the EarFun app, and nothing matches the clarity and natural ambient sound of the Pro2. Audio distortion in ANC/transparency modes: The Pro3 tend to distort when I speak loudly, when someone speaks loudly near me, or when there’s a moderately loud sound a few meters away. This happens across different frequencies. Maybe it can be fixed with a firmware update, but this was never an issue with the Pro2 in two years of use, so I definitely see it as a downside. Ergonomics and comfort: Even though the Pro3 are lighter and have a nice initial fit, I still haven’t gotten used to wearing them. After just a few minutes, they start to hurt, both around the outer ear and inside the ear canal. They also tend to loosen gradually with use. The included ear tips weren’t very comfortable either. I switched back to the third-party tips I used with my Pro2, but I’m still experiencing the same discomfort. That said, I don’t want to exaggerate this issue. I remember having a similar adjustment period when I first started using the Pro2, so I’m giving the Pro3 more time to see if things improve. Charging case design: It feels very light, which is great for portability, but also a bit fragile. It doesn’t match the price point of the earbuds in terms of perceived quality. The case for the Pro2 felt much more premium, with better materials, a more solid build, and a more ergonomic shape. The Pro3 case is more squared and bulky, takes up more space, and is a bit less comfortable to carry around. Final thoughts: Please don’t take this review as a rant. It’s just hard not to compare two excellent products from the same brand. The Pro3 improve on several aspects, but there are also areas where they fall short compared to the Pro2. I’ll continue using them and will update this review if anything changes. For now, they’re a solid pair of earbuds with some room for improvement.

Great set of earbuds overall!! The fit is amazing, I wore them for two hours and didn’t experience any type of fatigue. In the box is the earbuds in the case, an instruction manual, an assortment of ear tips and a USB A to USB C cable. You will need to download the EarFun app in order to get the full experience of what these earbuds have to offer. Once you download the app and, pair the buds to your phone you will be prompted to download the latest version of firmware 0.2.1. In the app you will see there is battery indicators for the case as well as both earbuds as well as options for noise cancelling, a gaming mode and an EarFun Equalizer where you will be able to fine tune the EQ settings to your liking and there’s also an option to adjust the controls for the earbuds. These earbuds are touch control on both buds so by default on the left earbud if you single tap the left earbud it lowers the volume, double tap is back one track, press and hold will change the noise canceling options (normal, ambient sound, noise canceling), on the right earbud if you single tap increases the volume, double tap is play and pause, triple tap skips forward a track. If you are familiar to Oluvs Gadgets on YouTube he has worked with EarFun on developing two EQ settings to his own ears on how these earbuds should sound under Oluv Signature there is a natural setting and a Boosted EQ setting. Out of the box the default EQ settings are too bass heavy, there’s too much upper bass on the default EQ settings so I prefer Oluvs boosted EQ setting. If the default EQ settings are not to your liking don’t worry EarFun has you covered. There’s an EarFun classic EQ setting which is the default setting and there’s also 10 different preset EQ settings and, there also custom equalization settings which gives you 10 bands to adjust to your liking. What else is new to these earbuds when you update to the latest firmware update is the ability to adjust the noise canceling to your ears as well as a wind noise reduction option which works really well. Ambient sound also works great, everything sounds natural coming through the buds. The noise canceling on the new firmware is by far outstanding which is why I recommend you update these buds to the latest firmware to get the full capabilities these earbuds have to offer. The wing tips are removable and the case is very slim and very pocket friendly. These buds have the latest bluetooth version which is 5.3 and they also offer a game mode which reduces the latency for the high demanding fast pace games like first person shooters. Battery life is also great on these buds you will get 7.5 hours on a single charge and 25.5 hours from the case. These earbuds are by far the best I have purchased and for the price you get them for is a steal!!

I don’t write reviews often, but I had to share this one. The EarFun Air Pro 3 completely exceeded my expectations. The sound is crisp, the bass feels just right, and the noise cancellation actually works really well — especially for the price. They’re super comfortable too. I can wear them for hours without that “ear fatigue” I get from other earbuds. Battery life is also impressive; I only charge them every few days even with daily use. Overall, I’m honestly surprised at how good these are. If you’re looking for great earbuds without spending a fortune, these are definitely worth it. Super happy with the purchase!

The “good”: These have a nice long run time and they sound pretty good. Nice EQ adjusting options in the app. The carrying case is good and sized very compactly, so it carries well in the pocket. I don’t have any issue with them staying in my ears. I like the customizability of button functions thru the app. The “I won’t say *bad* but I’m just not Impressed with”: I have no evidence but I’m personally convinced the Ambient mode just kinda makes the audio quieter. For reference, I have had earbuds from Jabra before, and they really seemed to use microphones to pick up environmental sounds and mix them into your audio at a level you could control with a volume slider. The EarFun system just doesn’t seem to work like that. It only gives you a Default setting and a Fully Transparent setting using the app; but neither of these work very well at helping you hear what’s going on around you if you need to, say, multitask at work while also listening to some music or podcasts. I do this a lot at work, and I can barely tell the difference between Normal and Ambient modes in terms of what I hear environmentally. It’s really surprisingly poor, and I will outright say: DO NOT buy these over any other earbud if that functionality is important to you. Llikewise for the Noise Canceling (NC) mode, I really don’t find it performs as advertised. I got the impression they used some kind of technology to match frequencies and block out noise from the environment; but from what I can tell, it just puts more bass into the audio. I mean, I’ve tried this while at a coffee shop and used NC to block out the sounds of baristas grinding coffee and using the steamer wand. It makes barely a noticeable difference if I don’t have any music going; and if I am listening to music, then I can still hear the grinding etc but the music just sounds fuller and more bassy…which sounds good imo, but I’d hesitate to say it’s “cancelling out” much, if any, noise from my environment. I also am not a big fan of the button function, mostly because it’s hard to adjust the earbuds without accidentally triggering a function like pause or volume down. I mean, the entire surface is the button, and it responds to the lightest passing touch. I’d prefer if you at least had to press for a click to engage the button. Finally, I don’t like the way that they automatically start playing something you were previously listening to when you connect them to your phone. I’ve tried to turn this feature off, but can’t figure out a way to. An example of how this is less than ideal: I sometimes listen to metal, but one night when I was winding down for bed I put the EarFuns in my ears because I was gonna listen to an audiobook. Well, as soon as I got them into my ears, it automatically started blasting a metal album that I had been listening to the previous day on Apple Music (note: the music was not the last thing I had listened to, as I had watched several YouTube videos and videos on other social media as well earlier that day). It was pretty disorienting lol, and loud metal was not what I wanted to have pumped into my ears at that moment! I can see times when this feature would be useful; like, if you have to keep taking your earbuds out for some reason, it saves you from having to hit play again every time you put them back in. I just feel like they could have programmed this feature a bit better, because other earbuds I’ve had do not do this.
