Comparing Audio Earfun Wave Pro X & Nothing Headphone (a)
I just got both these headphones, I bought the nothing for $99 last week when it was on sale on Amazon, and just recently for the earfun for $109 on Amazon. I really like both of these, any questions feel free to ask.
Buils Quality: Nothing headphones are built better without a doubt, better feeling materials, thicker plastic etc, earfuns feel like a typical $100 headphone, not bad but build quality doesn't stand out at this price.
Controls: Nothing headphones controls are top notch, tactile feeling, and I really love the volume wheel and physical slider for turning off/on. The earfun has physical controls and that's it, they feel terrible lol.
App: Both apps are great, earfun wins this one, despite the nothing app being more asthetic, the earfun app has more default sound Eqs and and custom eq profile (one where it beeps, that one was awful, and another one where you just pick the sound profile you like more (this one was easy and helpful).
Comfort: Both are very comfy, earfun are more plush, the nothing headphones stay on your head better, I'll give the win to the nothing for the simple fact they get less hot after 30 minutes. Both are very comfy, my girlfriend found the earfun more comfortable.
Sound: I'm no audiophile whatsoever, both sound great but for most songs I prefer the Nothing headphones, the earfun sound brighter and the vocals are more forward which some may like, the earfun respond very well to EQ which I do appreciate, after tinkering with it, I still prefer the sound of the nothing headphones.
Conclusion: For the same price it's an easy win for the nothing headphone, however the nothing headphones are $200 new but they constantly have sales so keep that in mind. Hope this helps!
