I’ve been amazed lately about how incredibly good affordable headphones from brands like EarFun, Soundcore and Edifier continue to get. When I tested the recently released EarFun Tune Pro cans for a review, I had a hard time telling them apart, in several important ways, from the excellent — and much more expensive — Beats Studio Pro. And now you can get an EarFun Tune Pro headphones deal on Amazon for an even lower price — just $53.99 (for a limited time).
EarFun Tune Pro headphones deal: Just $54 for excellent noise-canceling cans
I’ve reviewed quite a few sets of headphones and earbuds for Cult of Mac, often with an emphasis on value. We can’t all be audiophiles with deep pockets. So I’m happy to let folks know about the rising tide in high-quality audio, which seems to be lifting all boats, as the saying goes. Or at least, lots of affordable products continue to surface that are actually really good in terms of quality in their builds, sound and feature sets.
EarFun’s a great example of a rising brand that seems to be gunning for the big boys. The brand name doesn’t sound all that serious, but the products are.
These wireless headphones include Hi-Res Audio certification, five mics that help with noise cancellation and voice quality, up to a whopping 120-hour playtime, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint connection, custom EQ via app and a comfortable fit.
- Dual drivers for great sound
- Incredible 120-hour playtime
- Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint connectivity
- Comfortable fit, great value
- Some expensive cans may sound a little better
- No carrying case included
In my reviews, I rarely give five stars out of five. But I did with EarFun Tune Pro. They seemed to out-do the great EarFun Wave Pro, the brand’s first step beyond earbuds into over-ear cans. And EarFun Tune Pro passed all of my usual tests regarding sound quality, level of noise cancellation, comfortable fit and overall features offered. I spent some evenings obsessively going back and forth between those surprisingly good cans and one of my go-to sets, Beats Studio Pro ($349, but often marked down below $200). Can I hear that sonata’s oboe in both? How crisp is that jazz drummer’s high-hat cymbal? Does the stadium-rock bass wash out at all?
One way to put it: I like EarFun Tune Pro headphones nearly as much as Beats Studio Pro in every way — but the EarFun cans are actually a little more comfortable and have a much longer playtime. But Beats just edges them out for sound quality and, unsurprisingly, wins outright for Apple ecosystem integration.
Excellent sound quality and big value overall

EarFun excels at what several lower-cost makers seems to be getting right these days. They get Hi-Res Audio certification by including the right technology and including good materials, and the result is highly focused, clear sound. So you might not get the spatial effect of a big soundstage, where you feel like you’re sitting in the middle of the orchestra. But you will get plenty of what music producers tend to value — musical detail.
I don’t doubt other affordable wireless headphones get increasingly high marks, including some I’ve sampled and some I haven’t. But from recent experience, I can vouch for EarFun Tune Pro. And when they’re 40% off, when would there be a better time to buy?
