Anyone pick these
EarFun Free Pro 2's up yet?
I got mine yesterday, I skipped the first version of these as I already had the FIIL T1 Pro which I used for quite some time. I'm happy to say these are a huge improvement.
I love the rounded edges and the case is now almost the same size as the Mavin Air XR, it's Tiny.
I did a A/B comparison with the Momentum TW2 which i've been using as my DD all week and i'm about to send back due to the uncomfortable fit, terrible phone call quality and latency in connecting to my devices. My first impression is that the MTW2's sounded cold and the mids pushed quite a bit forward when I switched back and forth. The MTW's better clarity and more sparkle but just not at all exciting to listen in comparison.
DISCLAIMER: All you purist dudes who love the flat IMO lifeless
sounding earbuds these probably aren't for you.
SoundStage is wide open and the instrument separation is excellent. Touch button response is also very good, my only gripe is it takes about 2-3 seconds to cycle between ambient/off/ANC modes. The buttons control everything there is a guide in the manual.
Transparency mode is surprisingly good, I think it's better than the Jabra Elite 85t and the MTW 2's. I don't love the closed ear resonance I get from the MTW 2's or these, but i've had several conversations with these in with my wife and kids with no problem hearing them. The ANC is really good, not quite as good at the 85t, better than the MTW2's and better with low end frequencies than the Air Pod Pros with it's (newest FW 4A402). The buds are really comfortable and the silicone tips that come with the EFFP2's are really soft and malleable. I'm a big fan. I did try other tips and I didn't like the sound quality as much as the wide boar shallow fit tips these come with.
Mids are well presented, good depth but slightly recessed, As a drummer i'm super picky about the snare drum placement and pitch and every song I listened to sounded accurate and well accounted for, not to thin, not too muddy with good attack.
The bass has ample punch and a plentiful amount of Sub Bass response yet it remains tight and measured w/o muddling the mids and highs.
The highs are akin to the FIIL T1 and T1 pro, they aren't as crisp and sparkly as the lypertek tevi, or MTW 2, but close, they have plenty of detail without any sibilance like the LP3's. I used
this track as ref. her vocals are ear splitting on certain TWS'
It's been a while since i've been this impressed with a chi-fi offering every song on I listened to on my headphone test playlist sounded really good I found myself getting chills and being really excited to listen to songs i've heard hundreds of times before. For $56/$80 retail these are absolutely the king IMO. If the price of these were $100 i'd still be happy to pay it. I'm interested to see what some of you other folks think.
