4:53 I can answer that oddity. It's using a slightly older BES2300 chip that runs Bluetooth 5.0 which they didn't want to advertise compared to competitors that advertise Bluetooth 5.3/5.4 etc.
@@gigalabsMost reviewers are ignorant and are just repeating what they see from other reviews. None of Earfun's marketing material nor their manual shows Bluetooth 5.3 as a spec. If you look up their FCC filing it shows a picture with a BES2300 chip. It's bluetooth 5.0. Not that it matters, really. Most apps compensate for the latency, and for anything that doesn't you have a Game Mode that works well.
Had an interesting response from Earfun about a possible re-release of these headphones. Many people were complaining about the app not displaying another device's name when using Multipoint, (It gave this serial number looking thing which is rather dumb) and I asked them where that was the response; they're going to re-release these to fix this little issue. I really liked these headphones but that little glitch made finding devices on these a problem. If they fix that I'll happily rebuy them as these were fantastic otherwise. (Pretty good sound and had a low latency mode, you don't see that on overhead style headphones)
Excellent review!! the quick hit comparison a winner need more of this stuff as the competition with earbuds & headphones makes you think did I make the right choice. Keep them coming!!
Great review! I gave my soundcore Q45s to a relative so I've been looking for a replacement. Ultimately came down to these and the edifier wh950nb. Got the edifiers cuz they got as low as 65 bucks and I love them!!! ANC, ambient modes are great and bass is 🔥🔥. I do miss the multipoint devices list on the q45s tho.
Thx for posting this review. Gonna definitely give these a go to check out that Earfun sound profile. Clean design overall and not too concerned about the heat. Gonna keep an eye out for the Moondrop Golden Ages as I am eager to hear their sound and see if app improved since the Space Travel.
Thanks for always having amazing quality content sorry if my comment was confusing. I should of worded that better. I should of said are the earfun's better overall over the soundcore q30 i knew they were different brands my apologies if i threw you off. I have Cerebral Palsy and i definitely wanted to get my comment in live but i used voice to text to make sure i got it in fast enough. Much love from Florida. Keep it going 😊
I got the Wave Pros yesterday and I still like the sound better on the Q30s. The Wave Pros are definitely more neutral in comparison. The Q30s get louder as well.
Nice work Jefe! I have had my pair for a few weeks too. I LOVE them and think they are my favorite pair out of the 25+ that I own in terms of style/performance. How do you think they stack up against the 1More Sonoflow? I've been thinking about getting a pair to compare. Also, great job with the PSA about disposing of e-waste properly. I work in a recycling facility and you would not believe how many old Bluetooth speakers and phones come through.
I just bought the 1MORE Sonoflow and I’m an iPhone user. The treble on the Sonoflow seems dim or harsh depending on the EQ and type of music played. Is the overall sound profile for the Earfun a better option on an iPhone if I want a neutral/smoother sound profile especially vocals and treble?
I'm a big fan or EarFun and ordered these on Monday (release day). After doing some side-by-side comparison with my EarFun Air Pro 3...I decided to send them back. I really like the sound of the Air Pro 3 and these didn't match it IMO. Maybe I didn't have the EQ set the same or something. For sure these are more comfortable, but unless I'm on a 10+hr flight..it's just easier to use the Air Pro 3s I have from EarFun.
I got them yesterday and I am kind of not so enthusiastic comparing to Soundcore Q30. Earfun's EQ is not good. Q30 has better, efficient EQ so you can tailor the sound and get more faithful frequency representation without being muddy. I feel like Waves don't have this punch and detail. I am wondering how would compare to these two 1More Sonoflow in terms of sound quality.
@@ELJefeReviews thanks for your reply. Yes indeed you mention 1More Sonoflow. They competing but I think (assuming Q45 is superior to Q30) Q45 will sound best of these three. I had Q30. I have Wave Pro. Non of these will sound faithful and neutral without proper EQing so it's now all about well designed and efficient EQ. EarFun's EQ is poor. Maybe it's possible to EQ them with third party parametric EQ (AirReps156X) I did with EarFun Free Pro 2 - gamechanger (oluv's gadgets YT channel) maybe after that they would sound better. I know 1More app and their EQ is also not the best, similar to Earfuns'. Anker has best EQ and after "unmudding" and "unbooming" Q30 they sounded best to me. Of course they all are budget cans with big limitations so when I want real sound I wear Sennheiser HD600 with Sonarworks correction. Even old good Audio-technica ATH-M50 with bluetooth dongle by Fiio is a great option (of course no ANC etc.)
@@ELJefeReviews Yeaaah these Q45s for under 100$ would be an ALL TIME deal that's for sure, glad Earfun's pushing the competition in that budget space either way 🙏🔥 Might end up copping these in the end who knows 👀
Jefe great job as usual man and cant help but be curious how these stack up against the tozo ht2?? Those ht2 are crazy for 39.99 but hope all is well and to you and rest a jefe fam !!
Not very good. Most wireless headphones rely on DSP tuning to sound good. When used with AUX, the Wave Pro shut down completely which removes DSP from the equation. If you want something that sounds good over a headphone jack, you need to buy dedicated wired headphones.
Just got mine and yes these are very good! Now this is comparing to $150 headphones! Somehow their sound signature is very “poor” which surprised me loving Earfun Free Pro 3 earbuds. The comfort is great, ANC is okay and again not as good EFP 3 ANC. Volume/loudness is not great when tuned for bass but screaming high when tuned for treble and vocal. Eventually EQ tuning for hours and assisted with a third party EQ I got them right. So yeah it’s possible to get a satisfying sound with these. At $ 80.00 they’re very good and easily run over SoundPeats new whatever the name is… As a Earfun Free 3 ANC fan I’m a bit disappointed as I was expecting similar sound quality but Wave Pro tuning is totally different thus the necessary EQ tuning one must do.
Err... the discount code seemed to have done the job, although Earfun unfortunately didn't hear about currency conversion... (£=$) - not yet in stock in the UK - seeing - and hearing - is believing...
Yes. They have low-latency game mode. The mic is decent. This is not a gaming headset so don't expect the same mic quality you get from Astro or SteelSeries.
I have been using these headphones for 3 days now. Unfortunately they don't work properly: When I start an audio file (or video on TH-cam) the headphones skipping the first 3 seconds before I can hear any sound. The same happens when I pause and resume the playback of a song or video: When I resume the playback, about 3 seconds are missed out before I can hear anything. I have this issue with different devices: Google Pixel 5 Smartphone (Android 14), Huawei MateBook 14 (2020-model, AMD, Windows 10) and Fire TV 4K TV-Stick for connection to my Samsung TV Set. The firmware of the headphones is up to date. I have already done a factory reset. The headphones are connected to only one device at a time. LDAC is turned off. The costumer service advised me to enable Game Mode, but that didn't solve the problem.

Many other reviews state that it is Bluetooth 5.3... so don't know what is the real version in the EWP

Thx Jefe you are the best, great review 😊.. the Wave Pro for 64€ or Q45 for 95€? Is the soundcore worth the extra?
Thank you! I'd go with Q45 for that price.
Always love to see more budget options from all companies. Great video as always Jefe!
You and me both!
Another great video! Quality. On a side note, the Soundcore Q45 was on sale today for less than $70 on Amazon.
Thats a damn good deal!
Where? It says $99.
i got them for 99$

Great review as always man, if you had to recommend your pick of best all-round headphones for under 100$ what would it be ?
Depends. If you can get Soundcore Space Q45 for under $100, that would be my top choice. Otherwise, these Earfuns are the way to go.

Interesting battle with 1more (sonosflow and Sonosflow Se), Soundpeats and a bunch of Soundcore options. (Q30,35, 45, space one, q20plus etc....)
Agreed!
Looking very reminiscent of Sony's XM3/XM4 while the cups remind me of Sennheiser

What a good Eearfun Wave Pro really was. looks so promising.

@@ELJefeReviews Are there no ANC over ear headphones that sound somewhat good with AUX?
Can the earpads be replaced/upgraded?
I just recently purchased the Mark Levinson .5909 hope they sound good once broken in compared to the Focal - Bathys headphones 🎧!
Cool!
These have better ANC and transparency mode than soundcore?
Similar. Soundcore Q45 is still stronger on both in my opinion.
