- Balanced armatures, dynamic drivers and AI translation
- $99.99, available in US starting May 2025
- Auracast USB-C transmitter for $19.99, also in May
EarFun has announced a new version of its Air Pro 4 headphones: EarFun Air Pro 4+. They’re a bit more expensive than the current model, but if their AI features are as good as EarFun says they might be worth upgrading to, and they’re still considerably cheaper than some of their big-name rivals.
The Air Pro 4+ aren’t the only new products EarFun is introducing at this CES. In addition to several new headphones, there’s also a new Auracast wireless transmitter that can stream to your headphones from virtually anything.
EarFun Air Pro 4+ and Auracast dongle: Key features, price and availability
The Air Pro 4+ are based on a Qualcomm SoC with aptX Lossless and QuietSmart 3.0 active noise cancellation, as well as a six-microphone noise cancellation system for phone calls.
The earbuds come with AI-powered language translation that EarFun says makes them “ideal for travelers and professionals around the world,” although since we haven’t used the feature yet, we’ll have to take EarFun’s word for it on the matter.
The earphones feature balanced armatures with 10mm composite dynamic drivers. Battery life promises 54 hours of total playtime with fast charging, and Bluetooth has multipoint pairing and a low latency mode for videos and games.
The price is a little higher than the Air Pro 4, but we’re still in affordable headphones territory – when the Air Pro 4+ launches in May 2025, they’ll be available on Amazon for $99.99 (around £79/ AU$159).
When we reviewed the EarFun Air Pro 4 we liked their low price and battery life, but felt they were a little too complicated and featured too many configuration options. Let’s hope the 4+ is a little more focused.
The other really interesting announcement from EarFun is the EarFun UD100, which is an Auracast USB dongle priced at just $19.99 (around £16 / AU$32). Connects to USB-C to stream audio output from your PC, tablet or phone via Auracast over Bluetooth 5.4 to as many compatible devices as you like. Other supported codecs include aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX LL, SBC and LC3, and it’s capable of streaming up to 96kHz/24-bit with 20ms latency – a potentially very useful little addition.
The UD100 will be available in the US in May 2025.
