These ANC earbuds are strong enough to block out high-speed Scottish winds, so they're good enough for me

When I reviewed the previous iteration of EarFun's Air Pro earbuds, I made a point of saying that while this brand's active noise cancelling was great, it wasn't quite strong enough to block out blustery Scottish winds while I was out on my walks. One of the first times I was out and about, testing my set of EarFun Air Pro 4 earbuds, the wind started to pick up. I opened the app, and to my delight, there was now an anti-wind level of noise cancelling.

I'm not trying to claim that this brand has implemented this change on my behalf. There are likely a fair few sets of ANC gaming earbuds that are trying to form a defence against windy weather, but regardless, this showed me that EarFun is a brand that's constantly trying to improve on what it's made before. You don't always get that attitude from the biggest brands, especially in audio. Sure, occasional bugs will be improved on, and feedback can be taken on board if it impacts a big company's bottom line, but EarFun feels like a scrappy underdog that wants to service its customers better than the big brands, and its products are better for it.
