Consumer audio brand EarFun has announced the launch of its latest hybrid active noise-canceling headphones. The Wave Life headphones have been designed for music lovers on a budget. EarFun says that these over-the-ear headphones aim to redefine what sound, features and quality consumers can expect from a pair of headphones that sell for under $100.
The new hybrid ANC headphones keep much of the features of EarFun’s current award-winning Wave Pro while making them affordable to more users who care about sound quality as well as fashion.
With support for hi-res audio, the Wave Life have Hybrid Active Noise Cancelation with noise reduction of up to 45dB. Built around the latest Bluetooth 5.4 protocol, these new headphones can play for up to 60 hours on a single charge of their battery. The Wave Life also have more features that can be accessed and configured using EarFun’s Audio smartphone app, which offers extras like thoughtful music, streaming and interface customization.
EarFun claims the Wave Life are the brand’s fastest yet when pairing over Bluetooth for an instantaneous, secure connection with increased range. The Wave Life can play for up to 60 hours on a single charge. The headphones also support fast charging.
As well as being Hi-Res Audio certified, the Wave Life offer a wide, natural frequency range with definition and detail. Described as having a deep bass, well-defined mids, and an “engrossing treble.” The drivers used in the Wave Life are 40 mm composite transducers that produce a dynamic sound signature.
The Wave Life use intelligent ANC to continuously filter out ambient background sounds and chatter that can be disruptive. The Advanced Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation can cut unwanted noise by up to 45dB. An algorithm powers four microphones that not only mitigate the ambient sound but also pick up the user’s voice when making phone calls or joining video conferences.
The sound of the Wave Life can be personalized by accessing EarFun’s Audio app which offers customizable EQ settings for different genres of music. The app can be used to adjust the ANC mode and change other interface settings. The Wave Life headphones also support Multipoint Connection so two Bluetooth-enabled devices can be connected at once and toggle between.
The headphones have a dedicated Game Mode that can be switched on using the EarFun Audio app. This delivers ultra-low latency sound that’s suitable for competitive gaming, where response time and lag matter. This setting is also useful for watching movies and keeping sound effects and explosions in sync.
The Wave Life can be plugged in via USB for a direct audio connection to a PC should the battery run low. Designed for all-day wear, the headphones have a lightweight design and a breathable fit for reduced fatigue during extended listening sessions.
