Hi everyone my name is Aaron Sease and welcome to my review of the EarFun Wave! I was gifted the opportunity to test these headphones from EarFun and let you know what I think about them. Just so you know, I actually have another EarFun product that I use regularly, the truly wireless EarFun Free earbuds. Those earbuds have not let me down yet so I was excited at the chance to review the EarFun Wave. So, let me give you my #EarFunExperience with the EarFun Wave!

-Unboxing

The unboxing experience is not what people want to read about, that’s what YouTube is for, so I’ll keep that short. Just like the EarFun Free, the package was tight with a similar white and yellow color scheme. Sadly, I had difficulties pulling the box out of the box so I ended up ripping the package. Inside the box, the first thing you notice is very quick Bluetooth pairing guide. Under that we very nice leather styled carrying case and in that case are the headphone, 3.5mm audio cable and micro USB charging cable. Then under all of the one-page user guide.

-Build

The case has excellent soft touch yet tough feel to with a zipper for opening and closing. The audio cable is a 4-foot 3.5mm to 3.5mm and the charging cable is a footlong USB A to micro USB. I was a bit disappointed with this seeing that the EarFun Free came with USB C charging cable. Here’s hoping to future iterations. Both cables are of the no-tangle variety.

The headphones themselves come folded in the case and have a very satisfying click when you unfold them. They have a nice flex to them and do not seem like they will break but I like these headphones so I’m not pressing my luck. The volume up, power and volume down texturized, rubber buttons are thin and go down the back of the right earphone. I had a tough time differentiating between the buttons so I just ended up sliding my thumb up and down until it felt right. It’s not a problem for me but I do wish there was a slight gap between the buttons. Although, there isn’t one the 3.5mm jack doesn’t have one, the micro USB charging port has a cover that sits flush in the port. Also, everything is black! Black all the things, but there are accents of silver which really pop.

-Comfort

The headphones come with that same soft touch feel as the case and the ear cushions are big and soft that kind of just sink onto my head without touching my ears. Your ears may sweat some in warmer conditions though like mine did but the weather is still in the high 80s here in Pennsylvania at time of this review. There is a thin cushion across the top of the headphone band. It’s not uncomfortable but I do wish it was a little thicker. I don’t feel like these headphones will fall off and fit the large variety of heads.

-Sound Test

The first thing I did was sync up Bluetooth, selected bass heavy rap and cranked the volume all the way up. The volume can go a bit higher if you listen via the included 3.5mm audio cable. These headphones use 40mm drivers so the sounds is quite superb, clear and crisp. The lows hit well and the highs do not sound tinny at all. The sound is fairly isolated but these are by no means noise cancelling.

-Call Quality

Making calls was easy. I’m not going to go into extreme detail but control your phone (making and ending calls, changing volume, and muting calls) from these headphones just like using a phone. People on the other line had no problem hearing me and vice versa. Just like the EarFun Free, there is an added bonus of being able to double tap the power button to access your phone’s voice assistant.

-Stability/Latency

These headphones use Bluetooth 5.0 frequency for a fast and secure connection to whatever Bluetooth enabled device you desire. I have a lot of wireless devices in my home, and just like the EarFun Free, my connection stayed strong everywhere I went. Now if you are going to game with these, I recommend you plug them into the headphone jack. I did not experience extreme latency while gaming but I did experience some. It wasn’t game breaking but it took me, at least 45 minutes to notice as well. Whoever, I experienced no latency with while watching YouTube videos or listening to music, which were my main testing sources.

-Battery life

EarFun was touting these headphones with a 40-hour battery life and they were not joking. I made it through my work week listening to music, watching videos and playing games on my phone and laptop going just over 40 hours. I was pleasantly pleased with the results.

-The End?

So that’s my review of the EarFun Wave I hope you enjoyed it. Overall, I am quite happy with these headphones and EarFun has another great product on their hands. I recommend these comfortable, affordable headphones in the online sea of expensive alternatives. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I’ll try to answer what I can. Final Score: 4/5
