Earfun Tune Pro Headphones Review: Long Battery Life but Poor Sound Quality

Explore the Earfun Tune Pro headphones featuring outstanding battery life and innovative features, yet struggling with disappointing sound performance.

Quick Overview of Earfun Tune Pro

Budget-friendly audio brand Earfun Tune Pro has expanded its presence in the full-size headphone market with the Earfun Tune Pro—a surprisingly affordable model that unfortunately doesn’t live up to Earfun’s typically impressive standards. Unlike their earlier Wave Pro headphones, which earned high praise and a spot among top budget headphones, the Tune Pro falls short in delivering sound quality and comfort.

The Wave Pro, still available for purchase, remains a more viable and serious competitor compared to the Tune Pro.

Sound Quality: The Major Downside

Let’s cut to the chase: the biggest issue with these headphones is the subpar sound quality. Earfun’s knack for exceeding expectations on a budget seems to have taken a backseat in this ironically named Tune Pro model.

• Lacking serious bass depth
• Frequent sharp peaks that distort the sound
• Hi-hats turn into irritating hiss
• Powerful guitar riffs sound crunchy and unpleasant
• Bass drum often drowns out vocals
• Limited midrange clarity and detail
• Soundstage feels narrow and muddy

If you’re chasing sound quality anywhere near Bose or Sony levels, the Tune Pro won’t satisfy—even though those brands tend to be pricier. Many other budget headphones at a similar price deliver a richer, cleaner listening experience.

Comfort and Wearability

Unfortunately, the Tune Pro doesn’t score well on comfort either. After a few hours, the pressure these headphones put on your head becomes noticeable and uncomfortable, unlike the Wave Pro, which offered better wearability.

Battery Life: The Bright Spot

What keeps the Tune Pro afloat is its impressive battery life. With ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) turned off, these headphones boast a staggering 120 hours of playback—equivalent to five full days straight without charging. Even with ANC enabled, you get a solid 80 hours. This endurance is rare in this price range, making them ideal for users who prioritize long-lasting performance over sound precision.

Features and Functionality

Earfun packs its usual impressive feature set into the Tune Pro, including:

• Multiple ANC modes (perhaps a bit too many, which can be confusing)
• A detailed equalizer with various presets tailored to music genres
• An uncommon but welcome hearing test for personalized sound tuning
• Volume rocker, ANC button, power button, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired listening
• Five microphones for enhanced call clarity and voice pickup
• USB-C charging port

These features, especially the hearing test and long battery life, will attract users who value functionality above pure audio fidelity.

Technical Specifications

Price and Release Information

• Released: May 2025
• Recommended Retail Price: $89.99
• Current Price: About $69.99

Positioned as a budget offering, the Tune Pro sits between Earfun’s pricier Wave Pro and the cheaper Wave Life models.

Design Insights

• Large ear cups with physical buttons and a 3.5mm jack
• Somewhat bulky and not comfortable for extended use
• No IP rating for water or sweat resistance

The headphones weigh 289 grams and use plastic construction, making them light but not necessarily comfy over long periods. The thick ear cups protrude significantly, giving them a bulky appearance but not directly causing discomfort. The headband extends considerably, and the ear cups swivel about 100 degrees and fold for easy storage.

Controls and ANC Experience

The right ear cup houses the volume rocker, power button, and the 3.5mm audio jack, while the left has the ANC button and USB-C charging port. The buttons are subtle and not easy to find blindly, often leading me to adjust settings through my phone instead.

ANC modes offered include:

• Off
• Normal
• Ambient Sound (lets nearby sounds in)
• Wind Noise Cancellation
• Comfort ANC (medium)
• Strong ANC (high)

“Why does Earfun offer so many ANC modes? It becomes confusing to pick the right one, especially when the headphone button only cycles through the first three.”

The ANC performance is decent but not outstanding—good for muffling dishwasher noise or distant traffic but won’t turn your commute into a silent retreat.

Additional Features Through the App

The Earfun app adds value with:

• Low latency mode for gaming
• Wide soundstage mode for movies and TV
• Button customization
• A 10-band customizable equalizer
• Hearing test for personalized EQ presets

The hearing test is a rare feature in headphones at this price and was pleasantly effective in creating a sound profile tailored to my ears.

Sound Quality Detailed

• Drivers: 40 mm + 10 mm
• Distorted highs and lacking bass depth
• Narrow and muddy soundstage

The sound is disappointing for the price. The 40mm and 10mm drivers theoretically promise robust bass, but in practice, it’s unbalanced, with frequent peaking that harms clarity. Vocals get buried under exaggerated bass drums, and the overall mix feels cluttered and lacks emotional depth.

Despite the flaws, maximum volume is quite high, so you won’t struggle to hear your tunes even with ANC off.

Value for Money

While these headphones are affordable, other budget options outperform them in sound quality. Earfun Tune Pro’s strength lies more in features and endurance than pure listening pleasure. If you prioritize functionality and battery life over audio fidelity, they might just fit your needs.

Summary Table

Alternatives to Consider

Earfun Wave Pro

Everything we wanted from Tune: these affordable headphones feel more comfortable and mostly match Tune’s feature set, though with shorter battery life.

1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51

These headphones displaced Wave Pro as the top budget pick. They offer good sound and excellent ANC with battery life not much shorter than Earfun’s. Some build quality issues exist.

Testing Procedure

I tested the Earfun Tune Pro for three weeks, using them with multiple devices—mostly an Android smartphone over Bluetooth, occasionally an iPod Classic through the 3.5mm port. My activities involved music listening, podcasts, gaming, and watching TV at home and outdoors.

Having reviewed headphones for over 6 years, including previous Earfun models like the Wave Pro, this extensive testing informs my insights here.

“I usually don't recommend low-cost headphones that sacrifice too much on sound, but the Tune Pro's battery life and EQ features do offer some appeal for particular users.”

Conclusion

The Earfun Tune Pro headphones are a mixed bag. If you need an exceptionally long battery life and customizable sound features, these could work for you. However, their sound quality and comfort issues make them a tough sell compared to other budget options. Are you willing to sacrifice audio fidelity for endurance and features? If not, consider alternatives like the Earfun Wave Pro or 1More Sonoflow Pro HQ51.
