EarFun Air Pro 4 gives noise cancelling variety on a budget
I woke up to a thunderstorm today. But as I work on this review, I can't hear much of the storm outside because the EarFun Air Pro 4 ultra ANC earphones block out most of it. What's EarFun, you might ask? Well, this is one of those new entrants in the market trying to offer affordable audio solutions for budget -conscious users. I reviewed the predecessor of this earphone almost two years back and found it a decent option at the price. So, will the EarFun Air Pro 4 be able to live up to my expectations? The EarFun Air Pro 4 is a very regular-looking earphone with a charging case that breaks no molds. They are comfortable to wear and stay on even when you are out for a run or pumping weights in the gym. The EarFun app lets you configure the noise cancellation levels and switch to an ambient or normal mode. It also offers five different types of noise cancellation, from strong to adaptive and wind noise canceling, which I have not seen before. These work well, with the AI adaptive noise canceling stepping up to mute the humm of the fan in my living room. There is also a game mode and preset and custom equaliser settings. All these are a plus, given the price point. The EarFun app lets you configure the noise cancellation levels and switch to an ambient or normal mode.

It could handle the vocals and percussions well. There are three bass boost levels and this is where you realise the limitations of the earphones. The change is incremental but never at the level, you would get on a Sony or even a JBL. But I customised the equaliser to a sound profile that gelled well with my preferences. A R Rahman's new Satyam Shivam Sundaram composition created for Waves of India also sounded impressive, a good mix of richness and clarity. The earphones handle the lows and highs well, while the mids found the spot. There is a vocal heavy preset if you want to listen to something like Ed Sheeran's Old Phone. I loved Willie Nelson's version of Oh What A Beautiful World too, his baritone shining through at all times, even on my custom equaliser. However, I felt the EarFun Air Pro 4 struggled while I used it for calls. The voice was jarring and irritating though the other side could hear me well. Maybe this needs a software update. At Rs 6,374 on Amazon, the EarFun Air Pro 4 is a good option for those looking to get noise cancellation that works well in different situations. The earfuns have good playback capability too, while I would not recommend this for those who are stuck on calls all day long.
