EarFun Air 2 NC Review
Design
The Earfun Air 2 NC comes with a compact, minimalist black charging case measuring 47 x 62 x 25 mm. Its lightweight design, weighing just 47 g with the earbuds (37 g without), makes it easy to carry and handle.
While the charging case feels sturdy and functional, it lacks any standout features in terms of texture or design.
The lightweight earbuds themselves have a stem design with a slightly refined appearance. The base is crafted from glossy black plastic, which is easy to clean and provides a comfortable feel.
The back of the earphones is covered with silver plastic to loosen up the design. Underneath this, there is also a touch-sensitive surface for control.
Features
Earfun offers a suitable app for its earphones. This allows you to control some functions.
This feature lets you customize the sound to your preference, with several EQ profiles available and the option to create your own.
You can also enable features like LDAC or set the earphones to prioritize a stable connection.
Like most earphones, the Air 2 NC includes ANC and transparency modes. The ANC is impressive for its price range, effectively filtering out typical background noises and muffling voices (though not completely silencing them).
In this regard, the Earfun Air 2 NC outperforms expectations for its price range.
Sound
Let’s dive into the most exciting part of the Earfun Air 2 NC review: the sound. The EarFun ANC earphones genuinely surprised me!
I’m familiar with Earfun’s reputation for delivering quality sound, but the Air 2 NC surpassed my expectations.
The sound is impressively powerful and full-bodied—something I didn’t anticipate!
Let’s begin with the highs, which are absolutely flawless on the Earfun Air 2 NC. They are exceptionally clear, and vibrant, and exude a delightful sense of lightness. While there is some sharpness, it didn’t bother me. For my taste, the highs are nearly perfect.
The mids are unremarkable. While the Earfun Air 2 NC doesn’t feel “empty” in the middle, they are noticeably lower compared to the highs and lows. However, the voices sound natural, and the music doesn’t feel hollow.
The bass proves to be a key highlight, especially for those who enjoy a strong bass presence. The Earfun Air 2 NC delivers noticeably boosted bass that remains crisp and well-defined. It avoids sounding overly bulky or exaggerated, offering good depth and pleasing dynamics.
Overall, the dynamics are a major strength of the Earfun Air 2 NC. These earphones produce a lively and energetic sound, making them a great choice for dynamic audio performance.
The sound has a surprisingly spatial quality, resembling subtle virtual surround sound. This effect works effectively and creates a harmonious listening experience.
The resolution of these TWS earbuds with active noise canceling is exceptional for their price range, particularly when LDAC is activated through the app. Fine details are rendered impressively clean and precise.
Overall, the Earfun Air 2 NC delivers a thoroughly satisfying listening experience.
Explanation: A straight frequency curve in EarFun wireless earbuds signifies accurate 1:1 audio signal reproduction, free from coloration or distortion, similar to studio or reference headphones. The diagram divides into three sections: lows/bass on the left, mids in the middle, and highs on the right. Any elevation in one section indicates an emphasis on that frequency range. For instance, a high curve on the left indicates a bass boost. Although the frequency curve cannot fully define sound, it still provides a neutral representation of the audio profile.
Battery life
The manufacturer claims the Earfun Air 2 NC offers up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge, with the charging case providing an additional 3.5 charges for a total of approximately 40 hours of runtime.
In this Earfun Air 2 NC review, the figures appear accurate when tested under optimal conditions. However, I found that at higher volumes and with ANC enabled, the battery life was closer to 5 hours per charge.
You can charge the case using a USB-C cable or wirelessly on a charging pad.
Final line
I currently consider the Earfun Air 2 NC the best truly wireless earbuds with ANC that I’ve heard from Earfun—especially if you enjoy a lively and dynamic sound profile.
These earbuds deliver impressive high and low contrasts, creating a vibrant and engaging listening experience that feels truly captivating.
However, they may not be the best choice for purists or those who prefer a softer, more neutral sound. If you’re looking for earbuds that can deliver an energetic and powerful performance, the Earfun Air 2 NC truly stands out.
