- The Ear Fun Air Pro 4 are available today for $89.99, but you can get up to 25% off using our coupon code.
EarFun has announced the launch of its latest wireless earbuds, the Air Pro 4, which will be available starting August 5th. Priced at $89.99, these earbuds are one of the first Auracast-supported models for less than $100. For those who don’t know, Auracast lets users quickly tune in and out of local audio broadcasts, potentially enhancing public and private audio-sharing capabilities.
We got an early look at the Air Pro 4, and first impressions are pretty good. They are relatively comfortable, come with four sets of ear tips to help you find your fit, and have responsive touch controls with a slight indent that makes them easy to use. But what’s really impressive is what’s under the hood.
The Air Pro 4 brings several notable improvements over its predecessor, the Air Pro 3. The earbuds house 10mm dynamic drivers and the Qualcomm QCC3091 chipset, which enables aptX Lossless audio and Snapdragon Sound support. This is important because aptX Lossless is currently the first Bluetooth audio codec that can reportedly provide bit-exact CD-quality sound.
Listening to a few songs out of the box, the Air Pro 4 sounds a bit bass and treble-heavy, which should be a crowd-pleaser. They also appear to have ameliorated the excessive distortion of the previous model, at least by ear, but I will have to wait for our lab results to confirm that.
The new model also boasts hybrid active noise canceling, which uses feedforward and feedback microphones and processing to attenuate noise. EarFun promises up to 50dB attenuation, which would be a big improvement over the Air Pro 3’s 37dB of max attenuation if true. The new model also promises improved battery life, claiming 7.5 hours of playtime with ANC on, nearly an hour more than the Air Pro 3’s 6 hours and 26 minutes of playtime.
EarFun also aims to improve call quality by including a 6-mic array and an AI algorithm to modulate noise reduction. I haven’t tested the microphone yet, but we will see what our lab samples return.
While the EarFun Air Pro 4 are bursting at the seams with codecs, they will be available in two color options: black and white. For those interested in trying the Air Pro 4, EarFun is offering a significant discount at launch. By applying the 20% coupon available on the product page and using our discount code AP425OFF at checkout, customers can purchase the earbuds for only $67.49 (25% off).
Stay tuned for our full review of the EarFun Air Pro 4. We’ll test these earbuds in our testing lab and report on how they perform in the real world.
