There are some things we just expect from a pair of wireless headphones or earbuds these days. We expect them to sound great, naturally. We expect them to be laden with features and to be durable in weather conditions ranging from Arctic frosts to torrential downpours. We even expect them, provided the price is nudging over around £100 / $100, to have noise cancelling. We’ve become, in many ways, rather spoiled in this modern age of Bluetooth Multipoint and high-resolution codecs.
We also expect our wireless headphones to come with a dedicated support app. Gone are the days when you bought a pair of buds and that was it – now you’ll get your very own platform through which you can rootle through the buds’ extensive feature list, tweak the settings and even give them a cute custom name if you so choose. This isn’t just the case for the high-end options, either – the Earfun Air have an accompanying, and rather good, support platform, and they only cost you around £30 / $30 at the time of writing.
