EarFun Free Pro 3 Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, Hi-Res Sound, Snapdragon Sound with Qualcomm aptX™ Adaptive, 6 Mics ENC, Bluetooth 5.3 Earbuds, Multipoint Connection, Custom App, Wireless Charge

6mo Update: Raised the rating to a 5 because of the great customer support that backed up the warranty with no hesitation. I had some issues with Ambient and ANC mode, reached out, and they offered some advice to help fix it. I tried it out, and it lessened the issues but didn’t fix them 100%. So they sent a replacement that arrived in a day or two; no further questions asked. If you’re interested in these, get them. Original Review: If I could, I would give these a 4.5. I've had these for about 2 months now, and use them almost every day. In short, I don't want another pair of earbuds, and these are almost perfect for me. From the sound quality, to the customization of buds, to the app, the EQ, and the case, these buds should be more popular than they are. They're the most functional buds I've ever owned, and I love them I might just propose to them. But they do have some cons that seem like an oversight for $80. Luckily for me, I got it on a discount with a promo code and a free case. And, at the discounted price, I'd immediately recommend it. But, to be fair, I'll compare it to my last earbuds of 2 years - the JLab Go Air Pop. Pros: - Great Sound Quality I'll go more into detail in the next point. But, with or without adjusting the EQ, the sound quality is great. Not just for the price, but great in general. Now, with the EQ, the sound quality definitely lives up to the cliche of "immersive." Arguably, the best sounding buds I've ever used. - The App: EQ First and foremost, the app works exceptionally well. It connects to the buds and the case quickly, and it functions exactly how you expect it to. Now, The EQ... Best EQ I've ever used. And you can clearly hear every change you make from the highs to the low. The bass lives up to the reviews, but the mids and highs sound just as great. On top of that, you can name and save multiple EQ presets, adjust old ones and save them as new ones, AND you still have access to about 10+ other presets that come with the app. Personally, I don't want a lot of bass in my songs. So I love that I have the option to lower it manually, or change my mind and raise it up. My advice is, once you get the buds and the app, get your 3 favorite songs/audiobooks/podcast (a combo of 3. Or 3 of each, I'm not your daddy,) and adjust the EQ for each one, and save each one separately. ...you can also just use the presets that come with it, but I want my earbuds to sound like they're *mine*. - Ambient Mode I work in a loud warehouse, so I need these partially to protect my eardrums. Thing is, if I have these in to lessen the sound of the warehouse, then I can't fully hear when I need to talk to someone. That's where my favorite mode - Ambient Mode - comes in. I can hear everything around me while listening to music/audiobooks. I need to try it out more in conversations. But it works great, and honestly better than I expect at times. I currently have it set up to where, if I tap the left bud once, I switch from normal mode to ambient. - The App & Customization In my opinion, the app ups the value of these buds by ALOT. The fact that you can start customizing almost everything about the earphones, in less than 3 seconds of the app connecting to the buds, makes the user experience so much more engaging and personal. With the four different tap options per bud, a quick tap takes me to my most used feature (Play/Pause), and double taps adjust the volume. I can connect the buds to two or more devices at once, and switch what I'm listening to just by pressing play. - Stays in the ear Whether I'm running, jump-roping, squat hop, doing boxing drills, etc., they stay in. Now, to be fair, YMMV depending on the ear tips you use (more on this in the Cons list,) but they work great for me. Because of the weight of the JLabs, I would constantly have to adjust them. - Great Battery Life + Charges Quickly I work 9-12 hour shifts doing an extraordinarily repetitive and boring job. If I don't have something to listen with, I will clock out and go home. Not exaggerating. The great thing about these buds is that, in my experience, the buds alone last around 9.5 hours on a single charge. And a good 20 minutes in the case gets me to the end of my shift. The battery life is less than the JLab Go Air Pop, but that's to be expected with the size difference. The case itself lasts about 2-3 work days, and will fully charge in about 40-60 minutes. - Smallest profile than most earbuds I've used I originally found out about Earfun by looking up earbuds for small ears. Now, to be honest, these don't fit fully snug into my ears (because I also have very small ear canals,) but they are the smallest and best fitting buds I've ever used. - The Earfun Free Pro 3 protective case is a must-buy imo This makes my life so much easier. By clipping the case onto my keys, I can make sure I never have to worry about my earphones falling out of my pocket, or forgetting my keys. Cons: - Provided ear tips do not provide a good seal, and they hurt after awhile With the JLabs, I didn't need ANC because (I assume) the weight and design would push the buds into my ears, causing a great seal. That plus the tips made it to where I never had to think about the lack of ANC. But the Earfun ear tips are fairly thin and flimsy, which seems to play a part in a bad noise seal. The only exception to this is the foam, but that leads me to the next issue: All of the ear tips hurt my ears after a few weeks of use. On the plastic tips, there's a ridge that seem to scratch the skin after awhile. The ear wings also have this ridge, but I've only ran into this issue once. This led to me using ear tips from other brands. - The "Find Headphones" feature is just a loud sound Which is great. But, I was hoping for a bluetooth tracker that would help me find my buds in case I miss placed them. It would be great if both could be added in the Free Pro 4. - ANC is just ok The Active Noise Cancellation is good in certain scenarios. But there are some frequencies of noises that will still cut through. This, along with the "eh" ear tips, makes for ANC that is honestly just better than nothing. Even with the 4 in-app options, I personally like using normal mode more than ANC. What I'd Like To See In the Free Pro 4: - Better quality and more comfortable ear tips Personally, I still use the HTC One M7 wired earbuds' ear tips. The phone came out back in ~2013, but the tips still work well for my ear. I would also like an even smaller ear tip option, but that might be a lot to ask. - The option to lower the volume of Ambient Mode in the app I love this mode, but sometimes it’s too loud to have on all the time. The problem is, if you need to hear your surroundings at a moment's notice, you have to wait for the ANC mode to load, then wait for Normal mode to load. I wish I could go in the app, adjust the volume of the ambient noise, and then had... - The option to choose which audio modes you switch between It would be great if I could only switch between Normal & Ambient, or ANC & Ambient, instead of having to skip past a mode that I rarely use. - Improved ANC I think improving the ear tip quality alone could improve the effect of the ANC. But, as it is right now, I almost never use this mode. With all that said, if the Earfun Free Pro 4 addresses all of these issues, I would buy it immediately at full price. As for the 3's, it's sitting next to me right now.

TL:DR... Just buy them! Let me start by saying that I own 32 pairs of TWS earbuds, 6 wired earbuds/IEMs, and 10 headphones. I try to get a good mix of each at different price points, so they're equally distributed between budget, mid-tier, and premium. Weird hobby, I know. That said, these would be freakishly good at double the price. As I own the first 2 generations, I bought these strictly out of curiosity, as I wanted to compare Earfun's 3rd gen offering to those. I thought the improvement from Gen 1 to Gen 2 was amazing but this jump is even bigger. I even prefer these to the Earfun Air Pro 3, which were my favorite Earfun buds. Here's why. THE PROs Everything about Earfun's newest offering is amazing: EQ-customizable sound, ANC, transparency, calls, battery life & wireless charging, compact size, and feature set. They have every feature I can think of except for in-ear detection. Qualcomm sound and Apt-x Adaptive codecs are the icing on the cake. I know everyone gushes over LDAC, but I prefer Apt-X Adaptive as my favorite codec. Value Until I bought these, I thought my Soundcore Liberty 4 NC would retain its title of Value King for a long time. They didn't. The only thing I favor on those is the Soundcore App. The Earfun app is still loaded with features, though, my favorite thing being the selectable ANC mode. Added bonus: these are extremely comfortable and feel secure when you wear them, thanks to the ear fins. You can wear these to bed, even if you're a side sleeper because they're so small and don't stick out of your ears. The only non-sleep-dedicated buds that I have that are smaller than these are JLAB's JBuds Mini. (Those things are impressively tiny!) THE CONS This wouldn't be a proper review without some critique. As I mentioned, these lack wearing detection. I don't mind that much. However, if I had to name something to gripe about, it would be that I don't think the bass, although quite prominent, is as controlled as on some of my higher-end earbuds. Even after messing with both the preset and custom EQ settings, I can't get the massive bass level I prefer without also adding a lot of boominess. This is a similar issue I have with my Sony WF-XB700. By contrast, Jabra 85T, Soundpeats Opera 5, and Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro let me rattle my head but still maintain control over the bass. That's not quite fair though, since the Opera and the L3P have dual drivers. The L4P has much cleaner bass, although it can't get as prominent as these can. It's a shame. The mids and highs are near-perfect, but cranking up the bass throws mud all over them. Conclusion For less than $80, I just can't see how anyone wouldn't be jumping for joy after purchasing these because I don't think there's currently a better option at this price for all-around performance and features.

I've got one of those ear designs without a nice little shelf to hold in earbuds, so the little wing makes a difference. I tested it out running today, even a run with a series of sprint intervals, and the earbuds stayed in. That's a friggen miracle for me. Case: it's small. High quality. has both *wireless charging* and USB-C. all good there. ANC: it's ok. it passed the "I can listen to a podcast while I'm vacuuming" test. So- good enough. Not outstanding. Multi-device connection. Yay- I can watch a movie on my ipad and get a phone call on my iphone and they both are connected at the same time. that's cool. Sound Quality: This one isn't all that important to me. I'm no audiophile. Overall the sound quality seems pretty good. It's much more rich, bassy (and somewhat boomy) with the ANC on. With the ANC off (or in passthrough mode), the sound is much more 'airy'. The app has equalizer adjustments- which I haven't really gotten perfect yet. I'd call it "good enough for me", but maybe not "wow". Programmable 'buttons' (really, touch and tap). Qualcomm aptX™ Adaptive is the latest trick compression method to get high quality audio over bluetooth... but iphones don't have it so, even if I could hear the difference, it doesn't matter to me. Bluetooth range is pretty good and stable. Can walk all around my house away from my phone and it doesn't drop. Even through some walls. No dropouts. A couple niggles: The programmable buttons give you a wide selection of things you can do... but no option for "forward 30 seconds". I find that really handy on my other headphones and use it all the time. my biggest complaint- but seemingly fixable in firmware and the app (feature request). The case only has one LED that changes from red, to yellow, to green as it charges- but, green just means 30% or higher. I little series of 5 leds would be nice so you could tell when it's fully charged. You can check via the app, but only after you remove the earphones and they connect to your device. Great selection of features and solid quality for the price.

After updating the firmware version (to 0.2.6) upon arrival, I checked the sound quality and it was good, however it didn't have that subwoofer experience that most reviewers mentioned. I messed around with the equalizer settings, I got a slight noticeable gain. However, when I cycled thru the three noise cancelling settings (long-pressing the left earbuds three times), when the default NC was enabled, wow...there's that bass I read so much about! What was important for this brand to me is, I am going to use it mostly with my Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic (that's stored with ~600 songs). So, on my Galaxy A-14 smartphone, I customized the equalizers to make the earbuds sound "tinny," then I turned off my Bluetooth on my smartphone and I heard thru the earbuds a female voice saying "pairing" so I paired it with my smartwatch. The earbuds saved my equalizer setting that I purposely made "tinny." I then switched back to my smartphone, and put the equalizer back to default and I again turned off my smartphone's Bluetooth, and I paired it back to my smartwatch, and the earbuds saved the new equalizer setting and the music sounded good, not "tinny" then I put on the NC default mode by long-pressing on the earbud three times to cycle thru the settings, boom, I got the subwoofer sound! I was hoping the earbuds would save the equalizer's setting within the earbuds itself since my smartwatch's music app lacks an equalizer, and it did...so I am very happy with these earbuds. Since I can't get the subwoofer sound unless my NC is enable (voice says "noise cancelling"), I don't think I will get maximum usage from the battery life, but the earbuds are my backup headphones to my over-the-ear headphones. When I don't want to lug around my bigger headphones, I wanted the earbuds for the convenience, so probably need them for 3 hours max anyways. I also don't care for the noise cancelling options since I primarily use my headphones for listening to music at high volume. The volume is fairly high on these earbuds, after I max the volume, I tap the volume down by three steps, and it was loud enough to enjoy, if I feel like blasting a song, I tap to max volume, which is louder, and I can't see myself listening at this level all day, a few songs in a row..yes, but I can see myself using a two or three step down in volume level most of the times, I don't want to damage my hearing. I am new to using earbuds, perhaps a tighter seal on my ear canal will change the volume loudness even higher in the future. I so far paired my earbuds to my smartphone (Bluetooth version 5.1) , smartwatch (Bluetooth version 5.0), Alcatel Smartflip 4052r - my dumb phone (Bluetooth version 4.1), and a Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver unit hooked up to an older HDTV that lacks a Bluetooth. All the button tap settings worked, it changes the volume level on the smartphone, smartwatch, dumb phone, itself, but on the Tx/Rx unit that has a manual button volume setting, it doesn't change the volume level, it's okay loud at max physical volume level but my over-the-ears headphone has a separate volume amplifier builtin, so I will be using those for my HDTV listening instead of my earbuds. These earbuds are very light, I barley noticed them in my ears.

I bought the EarFun Free Pro 3 because they are the successor to a pair I’ve been using for about two years, the EarFun Free Pro 2, which I’ll refer to as “Pro2” from now on. Since I’ve spent so much time with the Pro2, it’s only natural that I’ll be making comparisons between the two. WHAT I'VE LIKED ABOUT THE PRO3: More compact and lightweight: Both the earbuds and the case are smaller and lighter, which makes them feel more refined. Improved touch control design: The shape of the earbuds makes it more intuitive and comfortable to use the touch panel. The flat edges give better precision and usability compared to the Pro2. Sound quality and app integration: The audio is excellent, and having access to the EarFun app on Android is a big plus. The multi-device connection also works flawlessly and makes switching between devices super convenient. Battery life: Just like with the Pro2, I can go nearly a whole week without charging them. I love that, and they continue to deliver in that regard. Noise cancellation: Works well, better than the Pro2 in my opinion. It effectively blocks out annoying ambient sounds. My main reason for choosing these over other earbuds: "Comfort" during workouts. I put that in quotes because, so far (after about two weeks of use), comfort hasn’t been one of the strongest points. I’ll explain more below. That said, I have used them while working out, and they’ve performed well, staying in place without falling out. WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Transparency mode: This was significantly better on the Pro2. The difference is noticeable. I’ve tested every available transparency setting in the EarFun app, and nothing matches the clarity and natural ambient sound of the Pro2. Audio distortion in ANC/transparency modes: The Pro3 tend to distort when I speak loudly, when someone speaks loudly near me, or when there’s a moderately loud sound a few meters away. This happens across different frequencies. Maybe it can be fixed with a firmware update, but this was never an issue with the Pro2 in two years of use, so I definitely see it as a downside. Ergonomics and comfort: Even though the Pro3 are lighter and have a nice initial fit, I still haven’t gotten used to wearing them. After just a few minutes, they start to hurt, both around the outer ear and inside the ear canal. They also tend to loosen gradually with use. The included ear tips weren’t very comfortable either. I switched back to the third-party tips I used with my Pro2, but I’m still experiencing the same discomfort. That said, I don’t want to exaggerate this issue. I remember having a similar adjustment period when I first started using the Pro2, so I’m giving the Pro3 more time to see if things improve. Charging case design: It feels very light, which is great for portability, but also a bit fragile. It doesn’t match the price point of the earbuds in terms of perceived quality. The case for the Pro2 felt much more premium, with better materials, a more solid build, and a more ergonomic shape. The Pro3 case is more squared and bulky, takes up more space, and is a bit less comfortable to carry around. Final thoughts: Please don’t take this review as a rant. It’s just hard not to compare two excellent products from the same brand. The Pro3 improve on several aspects, but there are also areas where they fall short compared to the Pro2. I’ll continue using them and will update this review if anything changes. For now, they’re a solid pair of earbuds with some room for improvement.

These are outstanding. The sound is perfect. Tons of low end while also maintaining articulation and clarity. Comes with lots of ear tips and multiple wings for fitment. What you get definitely punches above the price point. Glad I did my research and went with these. Love them instantly.

Great set of earbuds overall!! The fit is amazing, I wore them for two hours and didn’t experience any type of fatigue. In the box is the earbuds in the case, an instruction manual, an assortment of ear tips and a USB A to USB C cable. You will need to download the EarFun app in order to get the full experience of what these earbuds have to offer. Once you download the app and, pair the buds to your phone you will be prompted to download the latest version of firmware 0.2.1. In the app you will see there is battery indicators for the case as well as both earbuds as well as options for noise cancelling, a gaming mode and an EarFun Equalizer where you will be able to fine tune the EQ settings to your liking and there’s also an option to adjust the controls for the earbuds. These earbuds are touch control on both buds so by default on the left earbud if you single tap the left earbud it lowers the volume, double tap is back one track, press and hold will change the noise canceling options (normal, ambient sound, noise canceling), on the right earbud if you single tap increases the volume, double tap is play and pause, triple tap skips forward a track. If you are familiar to Oluvs Gadgets on YouTube he has worked with EarFun on developing two EQ settings to his own ears on how these earbuds should sound under Oluv Signature there is a natural setting and a Boosted EQ setting. Out of the box the default EQ settings are too bass heavy, there’s too much upper bass on the default EQ settings so I prefer Oluvs boosted EQ setting. If the default EQ settings are not to your liking don’t worry EarFun has you covered. There’s an EarFun classic EQ setting which is the default setting and there’s also 10 different preset EQ settings and, there also custom equalization settings which gives you 10 bands to adjust to your liking. What else is new to these earbuds when you update to the latest firmware update is the ability to adjust the noise canceling to your ears as well as a wind noise reduction option which works really well. Ambient sound also works great, everything sounds natural coming through the buds. The noise canceling on the new firmware is by far outstanding which is why I recommend you update these buds to the latest firmware to get the full capabilities these earbuds have to offer. The wing tips are removable and the case is very slim and very pocket friendly. These buds have the latest bluetooth version which is 5.3 and they also offer a game mode which reduces the latency for the high demanding fast pace games like first person shooters. Battery life is also great on these buds you will get 7.5 hours on a single charge and 25.5 hours from the case. These earbuds are by far the best I have purchased and for the price you get them for is a steal!!

I had to make sure to get full use out of these ear buds before posting my review. I will compare these to similar fitness ear buds (Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Raycon Fitness Buds). Before I go into Pros and Cons, the one thing I can stand on is the EarFun ear buds absolutely stay in your ears 100% of the time! Pros: - noise cancelling - battery life - fit - sound quality The noise cancelling feature is comparable to the Samsung and Raycons. Complete noise cancelling that works well in a loud gym or on an airplane. Almost complete silence. The battery life is better than both comparable ear buds. I gave the EarFuns a full charge and they have lasted for almost a week being used every day for approximately 1-2 hours per day. As I mentioned before, the fit absolutely kills any other ear bud I have had including Beats. The stay in your ears regardless if you are running, on the stair master or doing anything strenuous. I have never even had to readjust them at any point. AMAZING! Lastly, sound quality is comparable to both the Samsung and Raycons. These EarFuns are great for the price! Save your money and buy these! Cons: - Case - Sound breaks So, I had to mark these as cons and the only real one is the sound break. First, the case is very small. It is shaped like a lipstick case. For some, this may be a plus. For me, it kept falling out of my gym bag, so I had to find an inside compartment to store them. Very minor but for me was a small issue. Second, is the sound breaks. What I mean by this is, at least once a week for just one time, the ear buds will give a quick small pause in the music. It last not even a second, but it will cut out for a split second and then pick right back up. Once again, very minor but the reason I gave it 4/5. Summary: Great ear buds for the price! Especially if you need a great pair of ear buds to workout in and also to block out any loud outside noise. I will also mention that these ear buds withstood 15 minutes in a gym sauna! The Raycons fried out after 5 minutes. Probably shouldn't wear them in the sauna but I do at the end of my workout and these EarFuns are durable! Buy these!

El producto me llego antes de la fecha estipulada, se escuchan super bien y son muy comodos. No tiene mucho el de cancelación de ruido pero se escuchan muy bien.

Its really great... i was cautious first to buy it as i wasnt convinced about the brand. But it really shocked me after i tried it. Its tiny and small and very comfy in the ears and the best part it never falls when working out. The great price is the only reason that made me buy it and im totally happy with it ... totally recommend it

Initially I was very content with these, but unfortunately that didn't last long. They degrade very quickly, and after about six months the volume was insufficient to hear anything over normal traffic. After complaining I got a replacement but it suffered the same fate. Not worth the money in my view.

Hab die EarFun Free Pro 3 jetzt schon seit einigen Tagen in Gebrauch. Die Kopfhörer sind sehr gut verarbeitet und sehen auch echt top aus. Normalerweise habe ich bei In Ear Kopfhörer das Problem dass sie richtig sitzen, da meine Gehörgänge eher schmaler sind. Andere In Ear fallen mir oft beim Sport etc. raus. Bei diesen Kopfhörer war das genau das Gegenteil. Sie sitzen super und sind echt bequem. Ich kann sie ohne Probleme mehrere Stunden tragen, ohne das sie stören. Ich muss sie auch nicht immer wieder ins Ohr drücken, wie bei anderen Modellen. Selbst beim Sport sitzten sie bombenfest. Nun zum wesentlichen. Der Sound ist echt Top für einen Kopfhörer in dieser Preisklasse. Im App kann man sogar noch die Kopfhörer einstellen, wie man es am liebsten hat. Ich benutze die Standardeinstellung und find diese auch sehr gut für jede Art von Musik. Der Kopfhörer besitzt 3 Modi (NC, Ambient, Normal). NC find ich echt super für diesen Preis. Die anderen zwei Modi find ich auch gut. Zum Telefonieren sind sie auch echt super. Das Mikrofon ist echt super. Meine Gesprächspartner haben immer alles klar verstanden. (Im Gegensatz zu manchen Produkten mit einem Apfel drauf) Ich hatte auch noch keinen Verbindungsabbruch, was bei anderen Kopfhörer bei mir schon öfter vorgekommen ist. Als Fazit kann ich diese Kopfhörer nur Empfehlen. Super Sound, sehr bequem und die Batterie hält auch sehr lang. Top Produkt! 5/5

Update from March 2024 - just get better. So revisiting this set of earbuds now they've had a couple of firmware updates and have done a few tests comparing the capabilities of the buds on a new phone using AptX Adaptive. First, the bluetooth signal strength and stability to maintain high bitrate in Adaptive mode on these is incredible. Literally i can walk from the front of my house to standing on our back door step (about 7-8 metres through 3 walls) and they're still coping with high bitrate. My other buds fail (downgrade to low mode) a good couple of meters sooner. Secondly these sound even better with AptX Adaptive. Using the Olaf boosted EQ profile with a couple tweaks these are so incredibly fun to listen to. Especially if you're into EDM with that classic V profile of thumping bass and lots of treble. These just are so much fun to listen with. Only downside is the ANC performance is definitely the weakest part of the entire package. THey just don't knock the ambient noise down by as much and the highest pitch sounds like keyboard clacking in an office just don't get pulled out much. So i'd say ANC is a "could do better" but the rest of the package is great ------------------------------------------------- Original review from Oct: Headline summary -- brilliant bargain What's in the box: Earbuds USB-C 10cm cable 6 sets of tips: Med fitted but 2 smaller and 2 larger sets by the looks of it. Plus a set of foamies loose in the bag separate 3 sets of stablise bands (small, large and flat) Instructions Charging case is small and pocket friendly. Less chunky than the Senn MTW3 and similar thickness to Samsung Galaxy FE case but wider The case opens nice and wide (slightly over 90° open lid) making them easy to get in and out. Features Qi Wireless charging which is a nice feature bizarrely lacking from buds costing 5x the price (Bose looking at you!) Usual pairing process once you've peeled away the tape blocking the charge ports and let them initialise. Either can be done in-app or just in settings. App You can update firmware, customise buttons (both sides indepdent and from a good list of options), EQ, which comes with a bunch of presets including Oluv's natural and boosted EQ's (more later), options for codec (aptx adaptive available), mic options, voice, and a find buds option. Simple and clean app, nice and responsive. Perfectly functional ANC I'd say theyr'e probably the worst out of the 3 i've got here but it's still enough to drop white noise down a few dB but it's nowhere near as capable as some more expensive buds. It's definitely passable when out and about. The firmware update you get on launch of the app (0.2.0 at the time) adds a wind-noise feature which seems to be the in-vogue feature. Fit Initially used the small tips and large wings and they fit fine but still i find the need for a shallower overall fit to get the best experience for me so i switched to my goto Spinfit CP1025 TWS tips and the buds are immensely comfortable. Almost no pressure in any spot. The wings adds the security but are very soft silicone and flex so they really don't pressure your ears. With the tips switched improving my fit i get a good boost in bass too. Sound The EarFun signature sound is "ok". Nothing special but perfectly fine. I immediately tried Oluv's 2 pre-sets and it really wakes these things up in a big way. The "Oluv Boosted" EQ adds that more V feel. But for me it did push the bass a little bit too boomy for me on some tracks Sub bass is present and solid. I took the Oluv boosted preset and knocked the bass down 1 notch on the 1st two points and it eased off the boominess plus i pushed up the top end a little as i felt it lacked a little bit of aireness. Am talking EDM / Drum'n'Bass music here -- for most other things it's ok. But backing off the bass a touch on the boosted EQ was the sweetspot for me. They're a fun set and for the money they punch above their weight. I think my MTW3 are better still and handle things a little tidier and give me a little more detail but i think for the asking price these are a great casual set. I'll spend some time with the EQ on these and see what i can manage but out of the box with minimal fuss you have a solid fun set of earbuds for a super competitive price. I think they definitely compete strongly with the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE which are a good 30% more expensive. The ANC is definitely similar and AptX adaptive being present means more options for better audio than the limit of Samsung SSC These are a solid value prop.
