The Wave Pro is the battery champion of this list among models that split their rating by mode. EarFun rates it at up to 55 hours with noise cancelling on and 80 hours with it off, and a 10-minute charge adds 10 hours. Noise cancelling uses EarFun's QuietSmart 2.0 hybrid system, rated by the company at up to 45 dB. For sound, it uses 40 mm drivers with a diamond-like-carbon composite diaphragm and supports LDAC plus Hi-Res Audio over Bluetooth or the 3.5 mm cable. A 5-mic array with AI noise reduction handles calls, multipoint keeps two devices connected, and a game mode cuts latency below 55 ms. The weak points are weight, at 268 g, and availability: when we checked, EarFun's store warned that the Asia warehouse was out of stock until the next batch. At $79.99 against a $99.99 list price, it undercuts the Q31i if you can get one.
