EarFun Free Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Snapdragon Sound™ with Qualcomm aptX™ Adaptive, 6 Mics ENC, Multipoint Connection, Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Earbuds, Cozy Fit, Upgraded App Customization,33H

Update from March 2024 - just get better. So revisiting this set of earbuds now they've had a couple of firmware updates and have done a few tests comparing the capabilities of the buds on a new phone using AptX Adaptive. First, the bluetooth signal strength and stability to maintain high bitrate in Adaptive mode on these is incredible. Literally i can walk from the front of my house to standing on our back door step (about 7-8 metres through 3 walls) and they're still coping with high bitrate. My other buds fail (downgrade to low mode) a good couple of meters sooner. Secondly these sound even better with AptX Adaptive. Using the Olaf boosted EQ profile with a couple tweaks these are so incredibly fun to listen to. Especially if you're into EDM with that classic V profile of thumping bass and lots of treble. These just are so much fun to listen with. Only downside is the ANC performance is definitely the weakest part of the entire package. THey just don't knock the ambient noise down by as much and the highest pitch sounds like keyboard clacking in an office just don't get pulled out much. So i'd say ANC is a "could do better" but the rest of the package is great ------------------------------------------------- Original review from Oct: Headline summary -- brilliant bargain What's in the box: Earbuds USB-C 10cm cable 6 sets of tips: Med fitted but 2 smaller and 2 larger sets by the looks of it. Plus a set of foamies loose in the bag separate 3 sets of stablise bands (small, large and flat) Instructions Charging case is small and pocket friendly. Less chunky than the Senn MTW3 and similar thickness to Samsung Galaxy FE case but wider The case opens nice and wide (slightly over 90° open lid) making them easy to get in and out. Features Qi Wireless charging which is a nice feature bizarrely lacking from buds costing 5x the price (Bose looking at you!) Usual pairing process once you've peeled away the tape blocking the charge ports and let them initialise. Either can be done in-app or just in settings. App You can update firmware, customise buttons (both sides indepdent and from a good list of options), EQ, which comes with a bunch of presets including Oluv's natural and boosted EQ's (more later), options for codec (aptx adaptive available), mic options, voice, and a find buds option. Simple and clean app, nice and responsive. Perfectly functional ANC I'd say theyr'e probably the worst out of the 3 i've got here but it's still enough to drop white noise down a few dB but it's nowhere near as capable as some more expensive buds. It's definitely passable when out and about. The firmware update you get on launch of the app (0.2.0 at the time) adds a wind-noise feature which seems to be the in-vogue feature. Fit Initially used the small tips and large wings and they fit fine but still i find the need for a shallower overall fit to get the best experience for me so i switched to my goto Spinfit CP1025 TWS tips and the buds are immensely comfortable. Almost no pressure in any spot. The wings adds the security but are very soft silicone and flex so they really don't pressure your ears. With the tips switched improving my fit i get a good boost in bass too. Sound The EarFun signature sound is "ok". Nothing special but perfectly fine. I immediately tried Oluv's 2 pre-sets and it really wakes these things up in a big way. The "Oluv Boosted" EQ adds that more V feel. But for me it did push the bass a little bit too boomy for me on some tracks Sub bass is present and solid. I took the Oluv boosted preset and knocked the bass down 1 notch on the 1st two points and it eased off the boominess plus i pushed up the top end a little as i felt it lacked a little bit of aireness. Am talking EDM / Drum'n'Bass music here -- for most other things it's ok. But backing off the bass a touch on the boosted EQ was the sweetspot for me. They're a fun set and for the money they punch above their weight. I think my MTW3 are better still and handle things a little tidier and give me a little more detail but i think for the asking price these are a great casual set. I'll spend some time with the EQ on these and see what i can manage but out of the box with minimal fuss you have a solid fun set of earbuds for a super competitive price. I think they definitely compete strongly with the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE which are a good 30% more expensive. The ANC is definitely similar and AptX adaptive being present means more options for better audio than the limit of Samsung SSC These are a solid value prop.

These are superb value! I had some JBL earbuds but they were the kind that have a long post and I find these don't stay in my ears that well. I wanted to go back to proper buds like these. I got these in the Prime sale and they were excellent value. I had just purchased their over ear headphones and were really happy with them so decided to buy these for when I'm out and about. The sound quality is really impressive and so is the noise cancelling. The app allows you to test your hearing and then it creates a personalised EQ setting for you - and it works! There are loads of preset EQ's available to choose from but none are as impressive as the one it created for my own hearing! They fit really well in my ears and the wing tips mean they don't fall out either. They're comfortable to wear for a long time as well. Battery life seems to be holding up really well too. I like to keep them in my car and the fact they have wireless charging means I can keep them on my wireless charging pad so they're always ready for action.

I have a large selection of reasonably priced Bluetooth earbuds. I keep trying to find my ideal pair. I think these are the closest so far. I'm no audiophile so take what I say with that in mind. I did have a problem using them with the PlayerPro audio player app I use, at first. It turned out to be an incompatibility between the EQ on the app and the EQ on the earbuds. There was a lot of distortion on some songs and lack of depth on others. Switching off the EQ on the PlayerPro app solved the problem. Even I'd you switch off the EQ on the earbuds the EQ on the PlayerPro app causes distortion, yet it works fine with all my other Bluetooth earbuds. I tried all the preset EQ settings on the Earfun app and Pop seems the best for most of the music I listen to ( mostly pop, EDM, easy listening). I was unimpressed with the noise cancelling when I tried it first with a fan running in the room I was in. I could still hear it quite clearly. On a train, the noise was only reduced slightly. I WAS impressed when I tried it on a plane and the engine noise dropped significantly. I then tried it when on a cruise ship but it didn't seem to reduce the constant noise of the ships generator at all, all ANC settings sounded the same to me as did the other two modes ambient and normal. I'm guessing the ANC has been tuned for frequencies produced by plane engines. Assessing sound quality is personal. I like the sound they produce but it is still lacking. Songs that give me chills when I listen to them on my Bluetooth speaker don't do the same when I use the earbuds. As I said, I'm not an audiophile and I can't say what is missing but something is. They are certainly better in sound quality some of my other earbuds and they are a comfortable and secure fit. Maybe I need to change to over ear headphones to get the sound quality I want rather than keep using earbuds but they are convenient to carry and I these ones are certainly good value for all the built-in functionality.

Been using for just over a week now and I have to say these are pretty good for the price. I legitimately haven't charged the case once since I bought them and have gotten at least 25 hours so far no problem. Most importantly, NO HISSING!!! With other earbuds at this price range I'd get a constant "hissing" sound whenever the audio would be engaged and people would just blame it on me "having a high range of hearing" or something, but I'm happy to say that these have no hissing. The app is fine. It asks for an "account" when you open it but it's easy to skip. Touch controls again but I just disabled them since I don't really like them on any earbuds. The audio passthrough and active noise cancellation seem to be completely useless for me though, but it shouldn't be something at this price range anyway. The fit is fine. I had some issues initially but they seem to stay in fine now. They have a nice shape to them that fills the ear. My old earbuds (galaxy buds) really jutted out but these are very snug. I love the material on the case. The feel of it is just amazing. The only problems I've had with these is that sometimes one side would randomly stop playing audio for a bit, but it seems to happen really rarely, and the app can be a bit slow sometimes. The ear tips that come with it are also of a noticeably low quality, as well as the box being hideous for some reason lol. I was skeptical to buy a brand I didn't know at this price range but it's turned out to be great. I can't say much to their durability yet but I'll update my review if anything happens in the next few years. Edit: After using for over a month the only problem is that very rarely the connection drops. We're talking once or twice in a week, and it's usually only one side and it's easily fixed by just disabling and enabling Bluetooth on my phone. The app is okay; a bit slow but I basically never have to open it since all the settings are properly saved

The Earfun Free Pro 3 wireless earbuds are great all-rounders offering many features that others at two to three times the price don’t. This includes wireless charging, IPX5 water resistance and multipoint connect ability, which was crucial for me in order to seamlessly switch between two phones. Importantly, sound quality is very good, actually surprisingly so given the price point – Earfun allow you to adjust the EQ profile if it’s not to your taste. The app doesn’t have great reviews, but personally I had no issues with it – it was stable and worked well to change settings. I mainly bought these for the ANC (active noise cancellation) on the tube in London. The tube can be very loud in places, particularly on the Central Line – it’s a test for even the best over-ear noise cancelling headphones with loud screeches that no headphone will drown out. So putting it into context, the Earfun Free Pro 3 did very well, particularly for more of the low-hums of the train enabling me to listen to music, or watch a video without having to crank up the volume too high. You can also switch to ambient mode which allows me to hear others easily. The company recently released new firmware (0.2.0) versus 0.1.6 out of the box. The new firmware added better noise-cancelling, the ability to disable touch controls, and a new setting for wind noise cancellation. Battery life is around 5-6 hours with the better quality Bluetooth aptx codec switched on, which is perfectly acceptable. Using these for calls isn’t a priory for me, but from the small number of calls I’ve tested I was at least legible, but this style of earbuds isn’t normally the best for calls outside of a quiet environment. Here you get a discrete pair of earbuds that don’t stick out, and are not stem-styled, so these are very good for the gym our running/cycling. Earfun provides four different sized buds to suit most ear shapes, a couple of foam buds and two different wing tips as well. So Earfun is covering most bases here. A short USB-A to USB-C is also included for charging, although you can just as easily stick this on a wireless charger too. Lastly, a shout out to the customer service team at Earfun that responded quickly to questions I had as well as rolling out a number of new firmware updates early on to improve the product. As mentioned at the start, the product is a great all-rounder for the price and should be on your shortlist if you are looking for this style of earbud. Update (14 November 2023): A new update was released (v 0.2.1) that added some new profiles for noise cancelling called ‘Ear-Adaptive’. This provides a default and three alternative ANC profiles to tailor to individual ear canals. It’s a great addition, improving the ANC further for me. Also, I’ve playing around with the various equalisers and would recommend to not use the default option – I’m enjoying the various preset options available, but you can also set your own if none of the preset options suit. Still very much impressed on how much these earbuds offer for the price.

The earbuds are comfortable and the sound is okay but the noise cancellation is almost non existent. You can hear almost every background noise. Disappointed as most of the reviews are good and I wanted to like them as they're not expensive and look pretty premium. I also have issues with the fit of earbuds in general and these were good in that respect.

In the box: 5 sets of ear pieces in rubber style, and 1 earpiece of memory foam + rubber style, which i was using while writing this review. After 2 days of use I am comparing them to previously used CX True Wireless and Outlier Air V3. Good sound, nice extended bass without tiring your ear, especially nice low end for heavy metal tracks, mildly boosted bass, which was good for my 1-2 hours street walking and listening, i enjoy using these earbuds more than using Sennheiser's CX True Wireless or Creative's Outlier Air v3. Fits snuggly in my ear, better than CX TW & OA V3, with memory foam earpieces i can shake my head more confidently and not keep losing them on the street pavement than when using rubber earpieces (with rubber pieces i lose 1 earbud of the 2 too often, quite a disturbing listening experience). Battery is ok, what expected for this price point, didn't have to charge the case for 2 days until it went down to 41% and earpieces 30% + 30%. With more features on in the app, i suspected battery went down much quicker. If the audio recordings are of older release date (like 1991's heavy metal) APTX Adaptive mode will result into an interrupted sound, don't think this is because earbuds are failing just after 1 or 2 days and you want to return them and write a low score feedback, it's better to turn off APTX Adaptive on your smartphone, then during listening to older recordings it will not give interrupted glitchy sound I even tried to play some FPS game like CS2 on steam, it was obviously with some delay, i tried to turn on Game Mode on the smartphone in the EarFun app, apparently it had to reduce delay, it was acceptable experience, we won a competitive match, still had some kind of delay in transmission and i heard my teammates talking a tad later. ANC function is better when the music is playing, otherwise: when music stops playing it's just an ok ANC, you can still hear surroundings and keyboard taps. Got it at the time when it was 59.99, well spent, felt like i should have bought these first, instead of trying to find that one cheap budget set of eardbuds (like i did with CX TW and OA v3). Probably would rebuy Earfun Free Pro 3 or Earfun 4 in the future, and not the budget Creative or Sennheiser

Lets get things straight from the start... I'm fussy when it comes to sound quality, I've spent £100's on headphones in the past. I own 5 sets of ear buds, 3 of those are previous models from the Ear Fun range. These however, are on another level. The sound quality is so clean and clear. I'd tweaked the settings to my personal taste using the Graphic EQ built into the app. (which is also excellent and allows you to see battery levels of both the buds and the charging case. I wasn't expecting such deep bass and clear highs. Being a semi pro musician I know what I like sound quality wise and these fit in alongside some pretty high end in-ear earbuds musicians use for monitoring. I played the track Going Underground by The Jam and could clearly hear the tambourine playing in the middle section. (Many high end hi fi systems struggle with this). Switching to Rio by Duran Duran and the bass pumped through so clearly and the hi hat drumming was so sharp. I am impressed. Another Track, Jack of Speed by Steely Dan (Many sound engineers use this track to set up sound desks) was as clean as I've ever heard it, bass, vocals and drums were focused and all easy to hear. Sound staging is also an improvement on previous models being quite wide to give you lovely stereo separation. The fit is very good and you get 5 sizes of buds and 3 sizes of bands so there will be something to fit all ear types. I found them very comfortable and they haven't fallen out once in the week I've been using them. You also get a very clear manual and guide book along with a charging cable. The case is a nice small size allowing it to fit in your pocket very easily. Such is the level of detail that Earfun go to they have also included a little cleaning stick to help keep the contacts clean. (Sometimes it's the little things that make the big difference). A couple of taps on the left or right bud will allow you to go forward or back a track, you can pause, switch on noise cancelling and control a few other things just by touch them a certain number of times. I found this very handy. The noise cancelling was adequate for my needs. I've dealt with Earfun in the past and I have to say that their customer service is 2nd to none. If I have only one thing I'd add to the features, that would be in ear detection. I used this alot in previous models, but this is a minor thing and I'm being a bit picky. Overall I love these, they are my favourite new gadget.

I have owned the original earfun free pro and the pro 2 in the past and now the pro 3. I have liked all of their products. I had the original free pros for a long time and really enjoyed them. I had them so long I finally just wore them out . I also had the pro 2 for a long time but unfortunately lost them on a bus one day when they fell out and went flying all over the place and could only locate one earbud before I had to get off. I seen the pro 3 at that time but passed them up because I wanted something here and now and not willing to wait for shipping, which was a mistake on my part. I ran the gamut on cheaper earbuds for a couple of years and never could find a budget pair that I was completely satisfied with over the earfun brand. Different earbuds had slightly different features so I guess chalk it up to different experiences. Most recently I noticed my fiance was always having trouble hearing me when we talk on the phone so I decided it was time to buy some more expensive buds to remedy call quality issues and hopefully better anc so I bought a $200 dollar pair of Bose earbuds, that was an absolute fail and was comparable to some $30 earbuds I had so I promptly returned them and got my money back. Then I remembered the brand earfun and remembered I always liked them and just never did get the pro 3 from a while back so I ordered them and couldn't be happier. The call quality with my fiance on the phone is great and clear , she says my voice sounds strong with these. I'm happy to see these earbuds actually came with 1 set of foam ear tips that I actually did a mod on with my old ones before, so in this situation there was no need to purchase any other tips. I will say the anc doesn't seem as strong to me as what I remember from the older versions but still good for the price , I prefer to hear almost nothing with anc outside of whatever I'm listening to with the earbuds themselves. The battery life seems great after a few cycles and the earbuds charge up really fast. The case battery doesn't last a long time maybe just a few complete cycles of the earbuds but it's manageable considering the size of the case which is small and can easily fit in pockets. The music quality is exactly what I would expect from earfun with plenty of bass and clear audio. The one thing I have noticed compared to just about every other earbuds I have tried is that on the app the amount of battery remaining on the case does not update in real time. In other words the battery percentage on the case is only reported once you remove the earbuds. If for example you charge the case while also using the buds themselves you won't see the battery on the case has reached full charge or changed until you put the buds back in the case then remove them again . The earbuds themselves though do report battery life in real time. I have had no connectivity issues at all even going to a different section of the house while leaving my device in a different room. I can also say connecting to multiple devices at one time is simple and a smooth transition. I can use them with my phone and then turn on my PC and use them on there as well, after originally pairing them the first time of course, but after that no issues connecting to any of my devices. The app is good and seems really refined with several presets and a customizable EQ if that's your thing. Overall I'm happy I went back to this company and hoping I will get as much use out of these as I did the previous versions I had in the past.

Diese Kopfhörer haben mich voll Überzeugt und ich werde sie mir auch immer wieder Holen. Ich bin Leidenschaftlicher Musikhörer, da ich selber Musiker bin. Also lege ich sehr hohen wert auf die Wiedergabe Qualität. Als In-Ears hatte ich eine sehr bekannte Marke die mit einem Gesunden Obst geschmückt war. Einer der Vorreiter für Tonqualität. Doch nach dem diese alle 1,5-2 Jahre kaputt gegangen sind und mit einem Stolzen preis von ca. 250-300€ gut zulangten, war mir dies es einfach nicht mehr wert. Zudem musste ich den Tragekomfort mit Silikon Einlagen unterstützen, da mir die Kopfhörer sonst immer raus fielen... Per Zufall stieß ich dann durch ein YouTube Videos von M1M (Geiler Typ) auf diese Kopfhörer. Auf Grund des geringen Preises dachte ich mir, das ich sie mal ausprobiere. Bis heute bereue ich dies kein Stück sondern bin eher Dankbar das ich auf diese Marke Aufmerksam gemacht worden bin und ich sie mir geholt hatte. Klang ist einfach nur Fett. Klare Höhen aber auf Kraftvolle Bässe. Der Tragekomfort ein Traum. Ich kann sie Stunden lang benutzen ohne schmerzen, ohne ein drücken und ohne das sie jedes mal nach justiert muss. Trotz Bewegung und Schweiß beim Sport. Geräuschunterdrückung der Umgebungsgeräusche haben sie auch. Diese ist soweit für den Preis mehr als in Ordnung. Nur die Aufnahmequalität bei Sprachnachrichten ist eher mau. Komischer weise ist beim Telefonieren alles in Ordnung und man wird gut verstanden. Also für alle Leute die Guten Sound für einen schmalen Taler haben wollen oder auch einfach nur geilen Sound. Tipp an euch .... GREIFT ZU !!!!😁

El producto me llego antes de la fecha estipulada, se escuchan super bien y son muy comodos. No tiene mucho el de cancelación de ruido pero se escuchan muy bien.

Initially I was very content with these, but unfortunately that didn't last long. They degrade very quickly, and after about six months the volume was insufficient to hear anything over normal traffic. After complaining I got a replacement but it suffered the same fate. Not worth the money in my view.

Buena calidad, me gusta especialmente el Noise Cancelling. Es mi segundo par porque he perdido el primer cargador.
