New EarFun Air Pro 4+ noise-canceling earbuds are the world’s first Hi-Res certified dual-driver wireless buds with adaptive noise cancellation under $100, EarFun said Monday. So they offer Apple users a potentially compelling alternative to AirPods Pro at less than half the price.
And a launch discount makes the price even harder to resist. See below.
EarFun Air Pro 4+ earbuds launch with dual drivers
Air Pro 4+ earbuds, with a list price of $99.99 and a launch price of $74.99 after discounts, combine a 10mm dynamic driver with an ultra-light FeatherBA balanced armature driver. EarFun, known for earbuds as well as over-ear headphones, said driver combo delivers “thunderous bass, crystal-clear highs and balanced mids.”
A dual-driver configuration is typically found in more expensive headphones. That helps make EarFun’s price point notable for iPhone users seeking premium sound quality without AirPods pricing.
Advanced audio architecture designed for clarity

EarFun’s proprietary Nano Side-Fitted Acoustic Architecture (NSAA) positions the two drivers at a precise 11-degree angle to minimize magnetic interference and optimize sound resonance.
According to Rocky Deng, EarFun’s CTO, extensive testing revealed the specific angle reduces high-frequency attenuation. So that results in clearer, more natural treble response while keeping the earbuds lightweight and comfortable.
“This innovation delivers clearer, more natural highs, redefining what’s possible for earbuds under $100,” Deng said in press materials.
Premium codec support for Apple devices
Qualcomm’s QCC3091 chip powers the buds, supporting aptX Lossless and LDAC high-resolution audio codecs, along with Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity. While Apple devices don’t natively support these codecs, the earbuds will still function with standard AAC codec on iPhones and iPads. But Android users may benefit more from the advanced codec support.
The earbuds feature QuietSmart 3.0 adaptive active noise cancellation that suppresses up to 50dB of ambient noise. That’s comparable to Apple’s AirPods Pro. A six-microphone AI-enhanced system handles call quality. And Google Fast Pair — though primarily an Android feature — suggests these earbuds are positioned as cross-platform devices.
Battery life that outpaces AirPods

Battery performance looks excellent, with EarFun claiming up to 54 hours of total playback time with the charging case (36 hours with ANC enabled). This significantly exceeds AirPods Pro’s 30-hour total battery life.
And the case supports wireless charging. It includes fast-charging capability that provides three hours of playback from just 10 minutes of charging.
Award-winning design meets practical durability
Air Pro 4+ has already earned recognition with a 2025 Red Dot Design Award and IFA Innovation Award Honoree status. Several tech publications named the earbuds among the best products at IFA 2025.
EarFun designed the earbuds using data from 10,000 ear models to create what it calls a “3-point ergonomic fit” for extended wear comfort. The IP55 rating provides dust and water resistance suitable for workouts and outdoor use. But that falls slightly short of AirPods Pro’s IP54 rating.
Additional features include ultra-low latency Gaming Mode, Auracast broadcasting and LE Audio connectivity.
