EarFun Black Friday deals
The EarFun Air Pro 3 pair of earbuds was the first product I tested as a reviews writer at Tom's Guide, so we go way back. These budget earbuds boast solid ANC and an impressive 45-hour battery life, making them great value for money. In my review, I noted that these earbuds provide quite an immersive sound with fantastic bass and gorgeous vocals.
The EarFun Wave Pro headphones boast some impressive features for the low, low price of $55 this Black Friday. As my colleague Erin noted in her review, you get robust codec support, amazing battery life and good wired playback too. Also, the headphones are extremely comfortable.
Thumping basslines, groovy vocals, fantastic value for money — what more could you want? In my EarFun UBoom L review, I rated it very highly for its well-balanced sound across a range of genres, the dedicated outdoor mode and IP67 rating which makes it great for hikes and pool parties, and I said the customizable EQ via the user-friendly companion app works really well. This deal is too good to pass up on!
Big package, big boom. Equipped with dual 30W subwoofers, dual 10W silk tweeters and passive bass radiators, the EarFun UBoom X is the speaker you need to be the life of the party. This chonky boi is also IP67-rated which means it's great for the beach — it even floats in water! If you want more oomph, you can connect up to a total of 50 speakers for a completely immersive experience. Oh, and it doubles as a power bank too.
When it comes to budget earbuds, it really doesn't get better than the EarFun Air Pro 4 buds. I replaced my Bose QuietComfort earbuds and I have zero regrets. In my review, I noted that these buds boast five different effective ANC modes, gorgeous and well-balanced sound across genres, and they support advanced codecs for better audio quality. They’re extremely comfortable too — these are the perfect budget earbuds for audiophiles looking for a good AirPods Pro 2 alternative.
Need budget earbuds that don't sport the traditional drop stem design? check out the EarFun Free Pro 3. These earbuds have solid ANC, blocking sounds up 43dB, and they utilize Snapdragon sound technology and aptX adaptive audio to deliver a dynamic yet balanced audio experience. Battery life is good too, with a single charge lasting 33 hours. All this for $55? Sign me up!
For the low, low price of $49 — or $39 this Black Friday — the EarFun Air 2 buds are a great option if you’re searching for super budget earbuds but you don’t want to compromise on quality. While they won’t impress those accustomed to uber high-fidelity, they do their job just fine. In her review, my colleague Erin said the Air 2 buds conveyed a deep bass and crisp treble without falling into the dreaded tinniness she's heard from other cheap models. These buds are a steal!
If you're tired of your AirPods and want to switch it up while saving some money, I'd highly recommend EarFun's products. They're awesome at delivering big sound for less money, and Black Friday deals don't get better than these. I'm eyeing up the EarFun UBoom X which is currently 33% off at Amazon, bringing its price down from $189 to $127 — that's a crazy deal for a speaker of its calibre. And if you want to replace your AirPods, let me introduce you to the EarFun Air Pro 4 earbuds which are currently 30% off at Amazon. I've been using these instead of my Bose QuietComfort earbuds and love them so much that you'll have to pry them out of my cold hands.
