EarFun Air Pro 4 Adaptive Hybrid Noise Canceling Wireless Earbuds, Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound, aptX™ Lossless, 6 Mics AI CVC 8.0 Call, LDAC Hi-Res Audio, 52H Playtime, Bluetooth 5.4, in-Ear Detection

Why it's worth it

The Air Pro 4 covers nearly every codec worth having — LDAC, aptX Lossless, and Snapdragon Sound certification — plus 52 hours total with the case. Six microphones and Qualcomm cVc 8.0 handle call noise, and Bluetooth 5.4 gives you multipoint out of the box.

Wirecutter picked the Air Pro 4 as its budget choice in 2025, noting it matched mid-range competitors on low-frequency blocking in side-by-side comparisons and beat rivals from JLab and Skullcandy. CNET gave it an Editor's Choice award. That's unusual agreement for a brand most people haven't heard of, and it's why we'd put these ahead of better-known names if the price gap is meaningful to you.

The codec support here is the most complete you'll find at this price. LDAC runs up to 990kbps, and aptX Lossless works if your phone has the right Qualcomm chip. Head-Fi measurements put the frequency response within ±3dB of the Harman target curve from 20Hz to 10kHz, which in plain terms means the tuning is neutral and balanced rather than bass-boosted to impress you in the first ten seconds.
