So that makes choosing between these three models that much more difficult. While these have advantages over the Headphones 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4 and do sound quite good, those models sound slightly better: The 700 is slightly more natural sounding and tuned more for audiophiles, while the Sony has more dynamic bass. They're equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 and support the widely compatible AAC audio codec but not aptX. That means you can pair the QC45 with two devices simultaneously - such as a smartphone and PC - and switch audio as needed. And these offer multipoint Bluetooth pairing. The headset performance has also improved, with better noise reduction during calls. However, after a firmware update, you can now tweak the sound in the app with equalizer settings. That said, you can't adjust the level of noise canceling like you can with those models, which offer a more robust feature set, particularly the Sony. I found that to be true and give these the slight edge over both the Headphones 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4 for noise canceling. According to Bose, there's a new electronics package that powers the new ANC system, which now better muffles 'unwanted sounds in the midrange frequencies' (voices) that you'd 'typically find on commuter trains, busy office spaces and cafes.' Where you'll see an improvement is with the noise cancellation (there's a transparency mode), which very well could be the best out right now. They also sound very similar to the QC 35 II, with no change to the drivers. They're arguably the most comfortable pair of headphones out there. (At 238 grams, the QC45 weigh just 3 grams more than the QC35, which should be imperceptible.) And while the Bose 700 have plenty of fans, a lot of people, including me, think this QuietComfort design is slightly more comfortable and the headphones fold up and fold flat. The Bose QuietComfort 45 essentially look the same as their popular predecessor, the QuietComfort 35 II, with the biggest design difference being a USB-C port in place of the older Micro-USB. Note that after you activate the instant coupon at Amazon, adding the code EAP3CNET at checkout gives you additional savings, bringing the buds' price down to $56. (I could pair them to two devices simultaneously but had to pause the music on one device and hit play on the other for the audio to switch.) They're IPX5 splash-proof and also work well (though not exceptionally well) as a headset for making calls. They also pack in a lot of features, including a wireless charging case and 'multidevice' connectivity. In short, the Earfun Air 3 deliver strong performance for their modest price, with robust bass, good clarity and a relatively wide soundstage.

They have slightly larger wool-composite drivers (11mm versus 10mm), slightly improved noise canceling and better battery life (up to seven hours with noise canceling on, according to Earfun).

Lightweight and comfortable to wear - I got a good seal with the largest ear tip size - these aren't a huge upgrade over the Earfun Air S, but they are better.

The company's new-for-2023 Earfun Air Pro 3 earbuds feature the latest Qualcomm QCC3071 system-on-a-chip with aptX Adaptive for Android and other devices that support the new LE Audio standard and LC3 audio codec, which is superior to the SBC codec (they also support AAC for Apple devices).

Earfun has put out a series of wireless earbuds over the last couple of years with one important commonality: They're very good values, made more so by frequent discounts.
