After a couple of other wireless ear bud sets died of old age, I decided to find a replacement. As expected, I discovered dozens of choices here, of different levels of quality and opinions by previous buyers. I began looking at the EarFun offerings after reading a slew of positive reviews. I took a flyer on this Air Pro 3 model and I am very happy with my choice.
The most important thing, of course, is how they sound. I had not purchased a new set of ear buds in a few years and you can tell the technology has come a long way when listening to these. The sound is detailed and crisp, with sufficient bass and crystal clear treble. As an older man, my hearing isn't as good as it was, but there's no mistaking how good these sound. I used them with a variety of music (rock, jazz, classical, country, etc.) and found everything to just sound terrific. EarFun also created a very nice mobile app for checking battery life and customizing settings. One of the settings is for an equalizer that will use pre-set configurations or will allow you to create your own customized sound environment.
The battery life on these is extremely good, though I probably haven't stretched them to their limits. The small charging case appears to have a long battery life, and the ear buds themselves last many hourse and recharge quickly in the case.
For me, the fit is very good. In addition to the installed ear tips, these EarFuns have three additional sets of different sizes. There's a nice touch there: the extra buds are housed in a small box and mounted on a card, which keeps them in place, instead of rolling all over.
The EarFuns have a lot of features, so there's a bit of a learning curve with the on-board buttons used to change volume, songs or answer calls. You might have to play with the controls to get used to how they work, as they have a little touch sensitivity, especially in raising and lowering volume directly on the ear buds. Once you learn how they work, using them with the various functions is simple.
I have one minor gripe with these: the ear buds are left-right specific and fit in the case a specific way for storage and charging. The letters "L" and "R" are etched on the bottom side of the devices, below the actual ear bud mount. The problem is that you can barely see the letters, so getting them in the right place (case or ears) might be a bit awkward. If the manufacturer can make one improvement on this model, making those letters a bit easier to read would be it.
You could spend a whole lot of cash on some name brands of earbuds, but for the price and with the performance, these are a great value.

Comfortable and great battery life + tip for using the touch controls
---TIP for using the touch controls---The circular part on the outside near the speaker end is the only part that's touch-sensitive. It's tricky to use if you don't understand it, but it's actually really easy to handle:1) Touch the end of the earbud that's pointing out away from your ear.2) Keeping your finger on the earbud, trace your finger up until you feel the circular touch-sensitive area (circled in yellow in the second photo). The touch control won't activate immediately when your finger moves over it.3) Once you've found the button with your finger, you can tap/double tap/triple tap/tap and hold, according to the instructions in the manualReview:I like these a lot! I was really reluctant to get a phone without a 3.5mm audio jack, but these earbuds are great and easy to deal with.Pros:-Exceptional battery life. If you use them intermittently like I do and put them in the little charging case when not in use, the batteries last at least 3 or 4 days. I have to charge them way less often than I charge my phone. This was the biggest selling point for me.-I got them for around $50, which is a pretty good price for wireless earbuds.-Very easy to set up and use.-The sound playback quality is good.-The microphone quality is decent for an earbud mic. It sounds really tinny, but my voice is very intelligible, which is a big upgrade from the built-in microphone on my old phone.-You can use only one of them if you just want sound in one ear, and leave the other in the case.-The charging case is big enough that I don't feel like I'll lose it too easily, but small enough to fit in my pocket. The earbud snaps into position with magnets, so putting them into the case and taking them out again is really effortless.-They feel pretty comfortable in my ears. I'm used to using the $5 wired earbuds you would find at like Staples. These are noticeably heavier, but not too bad.-You can pair them with more than one device at the same time. They'll play sound from whichever one is currently playing.Cons:-If I lean forward at a steep angle, they sometimes feel like they're going to fall out. This happens more in my left ear, which probably means I need to use a smaller size foam thing (it comes with four sizes; I think I'm using the second smallest size). It would be nice if they looped over top of my ear or something to keep them from coming out.-Occasionally when adjusting them I'll hit the touch control button by accident.-You have to get used to the touch controls, as I mentioned up above, but it really only took me 5 or 10 minutes to get the hang of it.Other:I haven't put their water resistance to the test (and I don't really plan to, if I can help it).The Android app requires your location (which seems completely unnecessary), but it gives you extra options, like you can change what the different tap sequences do. This might be good if you want to use only one of them in one ear, and you want to be able to adjust the volume either up or down on the same earbud. The app can also make the earbuds play a loud sound to help you find them if you lose them.You can't really use the app without the location permission. You can still use the earbuds without the app, though, if you prefer.
