The headphone referred to as “EarFun Pro X” in the supplied title is the EarFun Wave Pro X, an over-ear wireless headphone with active noise cancellation. Its appeal is a long feature list and a lower reported price than premium Bose and Sony models—not evidence that it matches them in noise cancellation or sound quality.
What the EarFun Wave Pro X offers
EarFun’s current product page lists Qualcomm’s QCC3095 chip, Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint pairing and wired listening. Supported codecs include LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, aptX HD and LC3. Codec availability in practice can depend on the source device and its settings.

The manufacturer specifies an eight-microphone adaptive hybrid ANC system and coaxially arranged 40mm DLC and 10mm LCP drivers. It lists an 800mAh battery and a weight of 259g. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent performance measurements. EarFun’s current Wave Pro X product page is a Japanese regional listing, so buyers should check the product details for their market.

Battery life: separate the claim from the test
EarFun rates the Wave Pro X for up to 90 hours of playback with ANC off and up to 50 hours with ANC on. The company notes that actual playback varies with volume and content; “up to” should not be read as a guaranteed result for every listening session.

Enjoy flexible audio options with both wireless and wired USB Audio/AUX modes while maintaining premium sound quality. Tips: In AUX Mode, the headphones need to be powered on to listen.
Tom’s Guide reports that a 15-minute charge is listed as providing 10 hours of playback. In its own test, the publication listened for about 20 hours with ANC enabled and had 55% battery remaining. It extrapolated that result to roughly 50 hours, rather than draining the battery completely. That limited test is broadly consistent with EarFun’s ANC-on rating, but it is not a full independent battery-life measurement. Tom’s Guide’s review also describes an earlier 100-hour manufacturer claim; EarFun’s current product page instead gives the 90-hour ANC-off and 50-hour ANC-on figures.
How the listening and comfort reviews compare
Noise cancellation and fit
Tom’s Guide found the ANC effective in office and public-transport settings and reported comfortable wear over six hours. Those are that reviewer’s observations, not a guarantee of the same experience for every listener or environment.
Rank #2
- Premium Active Noise Cancellation up to 45dB. EarFun QuietSmart 2.0 Active Noise Canceling Technology intelligently reduces external noise up to 45dB for immersive listening using 5 advanced ANC microphones that actively monitor various frequencies to help achieve an outstanding listening experience.

The EarFun Wave Pro headphones transfer 3x more detail than other Bluetooth headphones for the highest quality in Bluetooth wireless audio. (*LDAC is only compatible with Android devices, please activate LDAC in the App settings.)
- 80 Hours of Playtime. EarFun Wave Pro over ear headphones can deliver up to 80 hours of playtime with ANC off, and 55 hours of music with ANC on (at 60% volume). On the go, a 10-Minute Quick Charge gives 10 hours of playback. When charging isn’t available use the 3.5mm audio cable via the integrated AUX port to continue listening.*
- Custom EarFun App & Multipoint Connection. Personalize your listening experience via the custom EarFun App. Select a suitable noise canceling mode and customize the touch controls.

Pragmatic Audio says the Wave Pro X does not attenuate noise as well as the Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose QC Ultra or AirPods Max. Its comparison table names newer models—the Sony WH-1000XM6, Bose QC Ultra (2nd Gen) and Sennheiser Momentum 5—but the table draws on EarFun comparison material, not a standardized head-to-head test. The available review evidence supports describing the Wave Pro X as a lower-cost feature-rich option, not as Bose-equivalent ANC. Pragmatic Audio’s review explains its comparison and disclosed that EarFun provided the review unit.

Sound and calls
Tom’s Guide’s main sound criticism is that bass can come across muddy or muffled and treble harsh. The reviewer found equalizer adjustments could improve the presentation, so listeners willing to tune the sound may have more flexibility than those who want a balanced default profile without tweaking. The same review describes call quality as decent, with occasional distant or echoey sound.

Price and who should consider it
Recent reviews report prices around $129.99 in the US, £119.99 in the UK and €149.99 in Europe; Tom’s Guide gives $129 and £119. These are review-reported figures, not a live quote or a promise of current availability. Check the listing in your country for the current price, stock and options.
The Wave Pro X is worth considering if you want broad codec support, multipoint, wired listening and a long manufacturer-rated battery life without paying flagship prices—and you are comfortable judging ANC and sound as trade-offs rather than assuming premium-model parity. If your priority is the strongest noise reduction, or a sound profile you already like without EQ, compare it with the Bose, Sony and Sennheiser models available locally before buying.
