I just got 2 "premium" TWS inears from KEF (€230) and B&W (€400) for a review which I personally would rate as plain terrible. I also just got the new Earfun Free 2 (where I was not involved at all) and it also sounds just horrid to me.

On the other hand I am getting mixed feedback from "professional reviewers" on my tuned Earfun Free Pro, while many of my trustable sources, friends etc actually seem to like them a lot. Of course the final result is mostly dependent on how similar your earcanal is to mine in regard to diameter, length, volume but also shape. As I tuned it with and for my own ears, I am simply wondering how much my ears may differ from the rest out there. 

Therefore I would like to ask all owners who bought the Earfun Free Pro either from the original production batches at Earfun (where I had no influence on quality control) or from me (where I try to get pairs which are well matched for left and right) how satisfied they are with the product. 

I would simply like to know what percentage actually thinks they are decent and what percentage doesn't like them at all as I am not sure if I should bother with that product anymore. Earfun doesn't seem to have any plands of producing further ones, instead I had the idea to order a larger amount of units which I would mod with my custom firmware, check for consisntency and offer them to those still interested, but I am not sure if it makes any sense and if there is still interest in them. I'd need to invest lots of money into that and I simply do not know if it's worth it. 

The next natural step would be to offer a completely own product, but this would imply even higher investment costs which I simply do not have right now.

Still the best wireless in ears I've ever listened to.

I love them! I have tried many many TWS and always had troubles getting right EQ. Didn't need to with these. I also stated on the youtube review that ever since I'm using the SpinFit CP360 I absoluetly am excited. no joke. Using them more than many of my headphones now.

The

I wish i could of tried them, so i can only go off of metal's opinion. The tuning has more mid bass then the airpod pros giving them a minute hd600 like sound. Fantastic for the price but impossible to get them now

Ef Jay

My primary TWS was the Lypertek Tevi, but the Earfun is now my go to since getting it, find it more natural sounding, not perfect but still prefer it. 👍

Luc P

I really like them . Highs are exceptional but i wouldn't mind a little bit more low end especially when outdoors. Dedicated app with presets would be an ideal solution. I am supprised that Earfun doesn't provide an app as Earfun's brother Fiil, have an app.

I wish I could purchase a pair of the Free Pro Oluv Edition. Should've paid attention when they were on sale... My bad.

Barton

"Funny" story, I bought two pairs and yet I haven't heard them. Someone was in need so I gave away 1st pair planning to keep 2nd one for myself. Then the package with 2nd pair was lost in shipment and I was left with none. Sadface. But they told me "Now the factory production schedule is relatively full, and the regular EarFun Free Pro version cannot be delivered. It is still uncertain when the next batch of customized models will go on sale." So hopefully there will be another batch at some point.

Jose Santos

I do like them and i vited them as "love them" compared them so against the xiaomi true wireless basic S (quite boomie and more grainy) and to me the earfuns sound way better, still for 20 euros the basic S are decent. But yeah to me by default they are bit shouty at high lvls speacially it starts being a bit too much. Fitting also dificult they fall very easily but i tried switching left to right once and now for running and work i use them inverted to not fall, sound to me does not change much tbh, and the sides for music its not noticieable, just controls do not get accecible, coulda do with some physical buttons there. But in the end i like em a lot.

Stefan Dähne

Ich bin mit meinen sehr zufrieden! War aber noch nie von einer Empfehlung enttäuscht die du geäußert hast 👌🏼

Martin Lerke

Bis jetzt kommen keine Kopfhörer in Frage außer die mit deinem tuning. Es die die besten TWS die ich je gehört habe. Obwohl ich sie mal meinem Kumpel zu hören gegeben hab er meint, dass sie zu wenig Bass haben. Aber ich finde es genau richtig, wenn man z.B Hip Hop Tracks hört dann ist es genau auf dem Punkt. Ich möchte eher was von der Musik haben also die Vocals und die Effekte Bass ist bei mir nicht wichtig und muss nicht so im Vordergrund sein. Ich nutze sie jeden Tag und schätze die Kopfhörer auch sehr.

Christian Hinrichs

Ich finde die eq Einstellung perfekt. Der untere Hochton ist wie du gesagt hast vielleicht minimal “hot” aber nicht störend. Ich hätte eher Bedenken das er wenn man das ändert lanweiliger und weniger lebendig klingen würde. Ich hätte niemals gedacht das man mit so einem günstigen in Ear so toll Klassik und Jazz hören kann.

Simon Hibbert

Precisely how I feel. I have to adjust poweramp to just get a deeper bass and I don't mean the shit bass that commercial headphones fake it. I mean hi fi bass but I can't see how you can have perfect hearing from a 50 pound in ear.. so I'm happy. I only had 2 in ears so I can't compare as much as many other folk.

markus intimidantus

I love these earphones. They are very nicely tuned. I Bought from either batch a pair. So I have two pair. Can 't say I hear any significant difference. No sample variation between my pairs. I am looking forward to any beautiful tuned line of ear and headphones you will introduce... I still love your tuning on my pandas to.

Richard

I actually have the regular Pro and your version - definitely prefer yours. If anyone wants to try the Sonarworks profile the Sound ID app beta is free on Android and desktop. (If your want to try the Sonarworks profiles sometimes mentioned the app is worth downloading, not iOS though).

Marioragcurtain

They are still my favorite listening device. I have one connected to my pc and one that i take everywhere. For me they have almost the same tonality as an hd600 with sonarworks. The hd600 on its own lacks subbass and has a slight peak at 5khz. With the earfun nothing bothers me about the sound and with all my songs i have the idea that this is how the tonality should be. If i get the chance to get another perfect one checked by you i wouldnt think twice.

oluvsgadgets

That’s interesting because I even considered lowering bass a bit more. But for me it was exactly inbetween the ER2SE which is slightly too thin while the ER2XR is too boomy and has too much upper bass. But of course good seal is another factor. If I used the smaller tips and put them in deeper than I usually do; the balance would change. This is probably also what Crinacle is hearing, he said they are warm.

oluvsgadgets

I usually don’t turn them past 60%. I actually tuned them by listening at around 50% with some songs needing a bit more volume but I must confess I haven’t even tried them at maximum yet as I simply find it unpleasant to listen at such high levels. The human response changes a lot with the given loudness level thus for people who prefer listening at higher levels there should be better choices.

oluvsgadgets

Could you fix the problems you had with yours?

2026-09-19 03:00 That’s the reason why I intend to make a bigger batch order of 50-100 units in order to sell them on my own. But due to all the hassle and effort I won’t be able to offer them at factory price, I also think that just on sound quality they are worth much more especially if I listen to that alleged “premium” B&W PI7 which is 400€!

Crinacle refused to try them with other tips as he only tests inears with the original tips...

oluvsgadgets

I loved the Lypertek at first but when I tried comparing them after I had finished the tuning for the Earfun the Lypertek started sounding weird to me. What would be your main points for improvement?

The

The closest you can get sound wise to what your units measure are currently the airpods pros. Fingers crossed that the new sony wf-1000xm4 fits the bill as well, much smaller design with a much better case

oluvsgadgets

Das Problem bei Inears ist ja dass das Resultat sehr vom individuellen Ohr abhängt. Ich habe es selbst mit meinen eigenen Ohren erlebt wie stark sich die Empfindung ändern kann, wenn das Ohr mal verstopft sein sollte. Sprich das innenvolumen war leicht verändert aber das hat gereicht dass sich einige peaks in andere Bereiche verschieben, die ich sonst woanders hören aber Ich will darüber ohnehin nochmal sprechen in einem Video, hat mich selbst richtig schockiert.

oluvsgadgets

Auch hier muss man unterscheiden ob er zu wenig Bass hört, weil er keine gute Abdichtung bekommt oder sie nicht tief genug trägt, oder weil er einfach viel mehr Bass bevorzugt. Das aktuelle tuning geht meiner Meinung nach bereits etwas ins basslastige; noch mehr dann wird es schon „boomy“. Diesen Mittelweg zu finden ist nicht ganz leicht.

oluvsgadgets

For me the regular version with their profile sounded way off maybe even worse than the stock tuning. But I never found any of their IEM profiles to be usable.

oluvsgadgets

We should once measured both our ear canal volume if it’s more or less the same as our results seem to be quite close.

Dennis Schmitz

Never received a fixed version. Still dealing with the broken mic on the left.

Martin Lerke

Er bevorzugt es ich hab seine TWS gehört und zwar die von Sony WF-1000XM3 er hat die Bässe nochmal geboostet das es für meim Empfinden Musik zu hören zu viel ist. Ich hab dann in der App so eingestellt wie ich es mag aber er meint dann auch ist zu wenig. Er mag eher den trockenen Klang ich aber raumlich und Detailreich. Deshalb sind für mich die Earfun Free Pro mit deinem tuning am besten.

oluvsgadgets

I haven’t tried the AirPods Pro yet, but friend who has both prefers the Earfun soundwise while the AirPods for comfort and usability etc, this is where I also loved the AirPods Max, although not best sounding I simply liked how everything worked.

Jose Santos

I see, well it above 50% use mostly for running and working ordewise will be quiet, but its ok, still i had reduced 4khz 6dB and 2khz 1dB because that way sound will be more normal at least to me, maybe that can be rlly my ears.

Marioragcurtain

Would be interesting. I think i have pretty average ears. We probably dont hear it exactly the same but i also think maybe the brain is a bigger factor in this difference of opinion. Some people actualy care about sound being "right" and some dont. They only care about what they think sounds good or what they are used to. Im always super skeptical about these things just like you but not everyone is like that.

Thamer Addobaisy

I love your version and it is my favorite tws over many I have. I observed some issues in Bluetooth connection in your version. It is unstable some times but not in the regular version. Otherwise they sound fantastic.

Eoghan

The improvements I would make would be nothing to do with the sound. For the price point there’s nothing to complain about there and they’re very pleasant to listen to... I generally keep the ANC and the ambient sound off as I got some weird effects with both but you’re not losing anything to have those extra features. My biggest request for a version two would be a better case with a hinge that keeps the lid open and takes some pressure to close. A design which also makes the earbuds easier to remove would be great as I tend to take them in and out of the case multiple times per day so this experience is important to me. Thank you for bringing them into the world :-)

Nuno Borges

Totally agree with this comment. Would only add that the ANC feature is not very effective. I have an old pair of wired Audio-Technica in-ears that have a more effective noise cancelling effect.

Gérard Barbagelata

Barbagelata oui j adore ear fun free pro oe et j aimerai bien en acheter une paire bonne journee

Abraham Lee

My experience exactly. If the connectivity didn't have these problems (which usually gets sorted out if I place them back into the case, close it, then pull them out again), I'd probably just use these and get rid of every other headphone I own. They are really smooth, satisfyingly full range, compact, and are comfortable to use. I've tried numerous others, but they were all way too shrill in the treble range to listen to for long. Your version is buttery smooth across the entire frequency range. Thank you for your contribution to these! Very much enjoying these.

Jesse Jesse

I missed out on the Oluv version, so I just bought the a standard pair. I use them mainly for casual listening / gym etc. I find the sound acceptable and beefy but not necessarily accurate. I have lots of TWS but the earfun are my number 1. This is mainly down to form factor. They are so small, light, comfortable it really puts them ahead of more expensive pairs. I rarely use the noise cancel but I do use the hear through a lot. My complaint is that with the ear fins attached, they don’t always return to their charging position securely, and stay paired to my phone even when the box is closed. Or, the just don’t charge. If you had tuned pairs available I would buy 2 sets.

Daniel

Another improvement which would make them perfect for me would be the support of a low Latency codec like aptx-LL, so you can also use them for gaming, but atm there are very few headphones on the market which support this anyway.

oluvsgadgets

Have you tried the low-latency mode if this helps?

Ef Jay

Best way to describe it would be thus: main thing for me would be more spaciousness in the soundstage/imaging. A track I listen to a lot is Into The Blue (Ibiza Cool Mix) by Paul Hardcastle, on the Lypertek it sounds more open with a better sense of 3D and the vocals are more defined/present, drawback is it can get bright/fatiguing; while the Earfun is smoother but sounds closed in and doesnt sound as defined/open but then its smoother, more natural, and seems to be a bit more revealing of the elements in the song. Same with another track Day by Day by Najee, smoother on the Earful, more "ear filling" but bright on the Lypertek.

Crispin Herrod-Taylor

The mass market for audio is well catered for, and sadly, satisfies the majority of listeners. You're better at ignoring the masses and concentrating on people who value what you do. Each reviewer will have their own agenda, and they don't align with yours... It's also worth thinking about the genres of music you like and that of your audience. For instance, one reason Beats became so popular, was the bass levels accentuated the Hip Hop bassline that was listened to by their users. Those users would have turned the bass up in their cars etc, so it fitted their expectations perfectly.

Daniel

Yes, it helps a little bit and works well for watching videos but unfortunately the Latency is still too high for proper gaming, but I did not buy them for gaming anyway.. Did you already have a price in mind for the units you would update by yourself? Everyone I showed them to is really overwhelmed so I would order several units if you offer them

oluvsgadgets

I don’t get it as hip hop is already so fat listening to this with even more boosted bass sounds just comiclike

oluvsgadgets

Is it the TWS connection between both that you have problems with or connectivity in general? I found the connection to be really stable compared to many others I have tried. Maybe you need to reset them once also keeping them inside the box and resetting re-pairs both units. I got some that didn’t want to pair to each other out of the box. The only thing that helps is to reset them with both units kept inside the charging box.

Crispin Herrod-Taylor

Most people's experience of what music should sound like comes from a club, or festival, and in the case of hip-hop, it's all about the power of the bass and the loudness. So if they get a hip-hop endorsed pair of cans, with an outrageous bass boost, it reminds them of the club. It's not true or accurate or even musical ( comic like is a good expression!), but it's instantly demonstrable and impressive!

Marioragcurtain

Have you tryed the left mic when you have the right bud in the case? when you use both only the right will record audio and the left only works when the right bud is off.

Marioragcurtain

Nvm. I see you have the issue in ambient mode so i guess its a defect.🤔

Thamer Addobaisy

I did resetting before still the same no changes. I mentioned my experience to inform you. In general I’m very happy with my purchase and they are my favorite. You did a great job Oluv 👍

Teo T

The problem with Earfun Free Pro is that I cannot get a good noise isolation. And though the OE version sound really excellent at home, when I am in a noisy environment or travel in a noisy vehicle - they sound just tinny. I will try the other tips to see if i can get better results.

Reezzzzzz

I would love to get one pair of them. Missed both batches by just a few days :(

oluvsgadgets

If they don’t offer you a solution you can send them to me and I will swap them for a new working pair if that’s ok for you

Juraj Bodnar

I am very satisfied with the Earfun Free Pro OE, and will definitely buy the "next" version. If you need money in advance to buy a larger volume, i would be happy to pre-order my pair.

Christian Legner

Mit der Audio-Qualität bin ich zufrieden. Doch nicht mit der Handhabung und Zuverlässigkeit. Immer wieder fällt der rechte Hörer aus. In die Ladeschale gelegt, ertönt weiterhin die Audios heraus und oft wird der rechte Hörer über die Induktion nicht aufgeladen oder er entlädt sich bei Nichtgebrauch. Erst wenn ich über das USB C lade, funktioniert der rechte Höre wieder.

oluvsgadgets

Das ist nicht normal. Hast du direkt über Earfun bestellt?

Christian Legner

Ja, ich habe noch eines der letzten Paare der OE Version bekommen.

oluvsgadgets

Scheint ein defektes Paar zu sein. Hast du mal einen reset versucht? Lass beide in der Box und dann halte beide für etwa 8 Sekunden gedrückt bis die violett zu blinken beginnen.

Christian Legner

Habe den Reset durchgeführt. Hoffentlich hilft es.

Matthias Koehler

Ich denke die Frage sollte nicht sein "Wem gefällt die OE" an die die sie schon haben, sondern wie hoch ist das Potenzial anhand deines YouTube Kanals neue Kunden zu gewinnen. LG Matthias

Marcus Rother

ich habe hier abgestimmt(Sie sind das beste was ich kenne) und genau einen Tag später war die linke Seite plötzlich bedeutend leisr als die rechte. Wiederum einen Tag später habe ich zum ersten mal in meinem Leben in Ear Kopfhörer auf einer Parkbank zurückgelassen. Nun sindse komplett dahin. Ich hoffe sehr dass es irgendwann wieder eine Möglichkeit gibt neue zu kaufen, oder auch ein anderes inEar Paar mit deinem Tuning.

Jan Christmeier

hatte 1:1 das selbe Problem Aber Earfun hat mir problemlos einen Ersatz geschickt

oluvsgadgets

Ich habe noch welche übrig, aber kann die natürlich nicht zum Originalpreis anbieten.

oluvsgadgets

Fragen wir mal so: wieviel wären sie dir klanglich wert? Vermessen und geprüft ob wirklich keine imbalance zwischen links und rechts besteht... Ich habe wirklich einige schräge Exemplare schon gehabt. Sowas kann ich natürlich nicht anbieten. Ich weiß ja wie sie klingen sollen und was sie sonst so machen oder nicht machen sollen.

Christian Hinrichs

Die Soundqualität liegt aus meiner Sicht über allen anderen Wireless InEars. Und wäre es ein Hersteller der sich durch lange Haltbarkeit bewährt hätte, die Zuverlässigkeit in der Bedienung besser wäre würde ich sagen, diese InEars könnten 500€ kosten. Aber in Anbetracht des Herstellerpreises + deiner zusätzlichen Leistung würde ich sagen insgesamt 100€ oder du noch einen Ausdruck(oder Mail) beilegst mit den FR Kurven 120€

Martin Lerke

Ich musste tatsächlich rechts ausgleichen, zum Glück geht das hab von anfang an das Problem rechts ist etwas leiser, man kann es in der Einstellung am Handy ändern also die Balance bisschen nach rechts schieben. Mein Bruder hat das gleiche nur irgendwie ist mir nur sowas aufgefallen. Sind sie dann auch defekt oder ist das normal? weil irgendwie dachte ich das ich nicht richtig höre oder so.

oluvsgadgets

Ich habe gemerkt dass einige zwischen links und rechts abweichen können, solche kann ich natürlich nicht anbieten. Ich versuche dann andere zu finden die besser dazu passen oder wenn die Abweichung zu groß ist, gehen die wieder zurück. Ist ein ziemlicher Aufwand das ganze.

Marcus Rother

Jan, in dem Fall gibt es die Option nicht. Sie haben mir nur geschrieben dass Sie diese Version nicht auf Lager haben und mir nur das Geld erstatten können leider.
