Earfun Air 2 NC review: budget earbuds that impress with tailored ANC and sound, though their design lacks refinement
Share:
If you want some budget wireless earbuds that perform in all the crucial areas, the Earfun Air 2 NC are well-worth considering. You get strong audio quality for the price you pay, as well as efficient, customizable ANC. The design may not be to everyone’s taste and you won’t get audiophile-grade sound or anything, but for what they set out to do, these buds perform very well.

Very low price. Customizable and effective ANC. Pretty punchy bass. Divisive design. Theater Mode falls flat. Not the most detailed listen.

The Earfun Air 2 NC endeavor to avoid the fate befalling far too many options in the budget audio tech space – being woefully disappointing in the sound department. Luckily, they manage to do just that, offering punchy bass, clean mids and controlled treble, as well as LDAC compatibility. Given their list price of $69 / £59 (about AU$110), that’s impressive.

Sure, the Earfun Air 2 NC won’t deliver audiophile-grade sound – I wasn’t wowed by supremely detailed, immersive audio or anything. But for what they are, the Earfun Air 2 NC perform very nicely, plating up well-weighted vocals and even solid sub-bass. You might get a bit of harshness at top volumes, but I personally never needed to listen quite so loudly.

Something that helps the Earfun Air 2 NC sound even better is an excellent EQ tab. Just hop into the Earfun Audio app and choose from a wide range of presets, including genre-specific ones. There’s also a custom option to use and an intriguing, yet perhaps unpolished personalized sound option, which is based on your own listening. Having tested many, I can confidently say that even some of the best wireless earbuds don’t offer quite as much scope for tailoring on this front.
