EarFun is one of the absolute insider tips for Bluetooth earphones. So I think the EarFun Free Pro is pretty much the best TWS earphones in the $ 50 price range.
The Air Pro are EarFun’s current flagship earphones. Thanks to a 10nmm composite driver and an excellent hybrid active noise cancellation, these should be convinced.
The  Pamu Slide Mini (identical to the Pamu Slide, just a different case) are regularly advertised as top true wireless headphones by various NBA stars. The headphones now had to prove themselves in everyday life and show that a lot of marketing also has a hand and foot. You can find out how they fared in this review.
But how does it look in practice? After all, every manufacturer promises the blue of the sky with their product. Let’s find out precisely in the comparision!

Design
EarFun relies on an exciting design for the Air Pro. The earphones are designed to be relatively conspicuous and significant. EarFun depends on the typical in-ear design but has given the earphones a “bridge” that protrudes a little way down from the earphones.
This bridge is substantial and has a unique trapezoidal shape. However, as far as the processing is concerned, I cannot complain! On the contrary, the earphones appear to be of above-average quality and well-built.
After all, the battery life of the larger size is adequate with up to 9 hours per charge. 9 hours is quite an “optimal” figure at low volume, but 6+ hours can also be achieved in practice.
The earphones can be charged 2.5x from the charging box while on the move. EarFun speaks of up to 32 hours of independent music enjoyment.
A motion sensor controls the earphones. If you tap on the earphones, they will register the shock and trigger a function accordingly. This worked well for me, too.
The medium-sized charging box has 66.7 x 54.5 x 30.5 mm and weighs 54 g. The quality and material of the charging box is average. We have a simple matte plastic. The charging box is charged via USB C.
The Pamu Slide Mini comes with a charging case, a protective cover made of leather, 5 additional silicone earplugs and a USB-C charging cable, as well as an instruction manual and guarantee. In addition, the product is packed in a high-quality box and makes a noble impression.
Unfortunately, the additional earplugs are only available in sizes S, M and L. A distinction must be made between somewhat firmer earplugs (S +, M + and L +) and somewhat softer earplugs (S, M and L). Depending on how you feel when you wear it, you have two options. It’s a shame that there is no XS or XL here, but I think that the S is already small enough, and the sizes are well-differentiated overall.
Another plus point is the synthetic leather bag that is added. This protects the case from scratches when it is stowed in a handbag.
Comfort
EarFun Air Pro- The EarFun Air Pro are a bit bigger, but they sat pleasantly well in my ears! The earphones have an excellent shape, and the centre of gravity also fits, which means that they don’t fall out as quickly.
I would only recommend the Air Pro to “extreme athletes” or people who have tiny ears to a limited extent, but in ordinary everyday life, these are great!
PaMu Slide Mini- In addition to the various earplugs, the Pamu Slide Mini have another silicone jacket on the earphone head. This is intended to provide a better hold, even when moving. In addition, there are different sizes of earplugs and different degrees of hardness.
For me, the wearing comfort was unfortunately not very optimistic. First of all, I am positively surprised that you get different earplugs here. The size S fit me well, even though I couldn’t feel any difference between the earbuds. Unfortunately, the head of the earphones is enormous, and overall they feel pretty heavy, which is why the headphones quickly become uncomfortable in the ear. Hours of playback quickly became torture.
Sound
EarFun Air Pro- Let’s come to the most exciting point, the sound. For once, let’s start with the bass, as EarFun advertises above all with powerful bass.
And yes, the bass is the flagship of the earphones! The bass is compelling and “round”. The bass is strong but doesn’t seem excessive either. However, the bass is incredible “belly” and voluminous. This sounds very broad and powerful, but without exaggerating too much downwards. No, these are not earphones if you are looking for a neutral sound, but the bass has a different effect than many bass earphones. The bass works well. So the draft is also excellent. I have rarely seen such an interesting bass with true wireless earbuds.
Amazingly, the mids of the EarFun Air Pro are still okay. Yes, the lower mids are clearly lowered, and the earphones sound a bit “clean” here and there, but in principle, voices and vocals can detach themselves from the bass quite well.
The same applies to the heights. The bass is of course a bit the focus of the sound, but the highs are still convincing. These are very clear and also pleasantly airy. The earphones also have a pleasant brilliance.Â
The bottom line is that the EarFun Air Pro have an imposing sound! This stands out from the crowd due to the round bass. The Air Pro sound interesting and very lively. If you like a lot of bass, you will love the Air Pro, especially since the bass sounds skilled here and is not just created through DSP tricks.
According to EarFun, the AirPro have a Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation. Important, there are two tips for changing the ANC modes.
The Air Pro’s ANC is okay. Don’t expect any miracles, but it’s above average for earphones in this price range. This reduces whirring and humming noises very well. Voices are muffled a bit, but of course, not completely fade out.
In addition to ANC, the earphones also have a transparency mode that amplifies outside noise. This is also quite passable, but not on the level of the Apple AirPod Pros.
PaMu Slide Mini- The bass boost of the headphones is immediately noticeable the first time you listen. However, this is not a positive effect; the bass is usually booming and distorted at a high volume. The bass is way too strong for me. The mids and highs are pretty much drowned out next to it. In addition, the highs quickly distort at high volumes and tend to hiss heavily. You have to work hard against this with an equalizer, but you can at least hear most music tracks well at medium volume levels.
Accordingly, one cannot speak of an existing brilliance here. The hissing and distorting of the highs during the Pamu Slide Mini test makes any brilliance to none. The background noise is hardly noticeable. That is positive; listening to songs or audiobooks is also easy.
3D sound works very well everywhere except the front. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether the sound is coming from the right or the front right. The same goes for the left side. At the back, on the other hand, you can clearly distinguish where the sound is coming from. Surround effect is there, but watching movies is still not much fun due to the strong hissing and distortion in the highs and the exaggerated bass.
Conclusion
If you like a lot of bass, then you might love the EarFun Air Pro! These can convince mainly because of the sound. This is very bass-heavy and incredibly round and full.
In terms of sound, the Air Pro are compelling and, if they meet your taste, are among the best models in the under $70 price range.
The quality and design are also successful, even if the earphones are larger. However, this has not negatively affected the wearing comfort for me. But if you have small ears, the Air Pro could be a little too big for you.
The ANC is quite passable. Do not expect too much here, but if switched on (important 3x tap!), Then whirring and humming noises are well reduced or completely faded out.
PaMu Slide Mini- Overall, the headphones are too bass-heavy and lack brilliance. For me, it is booming and distorting too much with many titles, and there is no absolute joy in playing music. Overall, I am disappointed with the sound of the Pamu Slide Mini.
At first glance, the headphones look very high-quality and can convince with a scope of delivery on the first impression and a fast connection to the end device. Unfortunately, there is a lack of sound, which can hardly keep up with the Soundcore Life P2 or the iTeknic Bluetooth headphones. For a long time, he can’t get to the Creative Outlier Gold.
