When it comes to purchasing noise cancelling earphones, the extensive range of prices can be overwhelming. The fear of ending up with low-quality merchandise or missing out on a great deal looms large.
For my husband’s birthday, I wanted earbuds suitable for running, using a cross trainer, and taking long walks in the countryside to listen to podcasts on sports and pubs. His previous inexpensive pair broke after a few months, so I was cautious this time. After thorough research and considering features such as compatibility with an Android phone and positive reviews, I decided on the EarFun Wireless Earbuds Air Pro 3 Hybrid. These buds had won a What Hi-Fi award, offered good quality, long battery life, and most importantly, they were competitively priced at £49.99 during the Amazon Black Friday sale.
Although not the cheapest, they were substantially more affordable than alternatives such as Samsung’s Galaxy Buds2 Pro at £149 or Sony’s wireless noise cancelling earbuds at £219, now discounted to £259 in the Black Friday sale.

Despite the lower price, the earbuds are of excellent quality, providing exceptional noise cancelling. The unique Hybrid ANC technology-QuietSmart 2.0 eliminates noise by 43dB, with customizable modes for different environments, from quiet roads to bustling trains.
The EarFun Air Pro 3 earbuds fit comfortably and have lasted reliably over the past six months, making me feel satisfied with the £200 saved by opting for a lesser-known brand over a big name. Moreover, my husband attests to their secure fit during exercise and appreciates their long battery life of up to eight hours.
However, one drawback he noted is the limited battery warning, necessitating better planning for recharging.
Comparing options across brands and through personal reviews has proven worthwhile, ensuring that the purchase represents true value. The EarFun Wireless Earbuds Air Pro 3 Hybrid at £49.99 during the Amazon Black Friday sale, along with similar products at Curry’s and John Lewis, highlights the competitiveness of this product in the market.
