Sound Quality
EarFun Air
I know prices vary by region. I have gotten good sound from the Earfun earbuds. I have the Earfun Air, and the Earfun Air Pro 2 have very good sound as do Earfun Free Pro 2.
Koss Porta Pro On Ear Headphones
These headphones are the ultimate in retro chic and are guaranteed to get a few comments, but you won't hear them thanks to the beautiful symphony of sound flooding your ears. For $50, we're hard-pressed to find another set that rivals their sound quality and quirky design.
Durability
EarFun Air
From the shipping process to receiving. Received headphones 2 days in advanced. I was currently in the market for a pair of new headphones when these came on my radar and have been throughly impressed. I do work in construction and the headphones are really durable and so is the charging case

I’m also pleased with the battery of these wireless headphones, which Koss rates to last for more than 12 hours and which I’ve yet to fully exhaust even once. After 3- and 4-hour listening sessions, the Porta Pro Wireless tend to still have more than 80 percent of their charge remaining, and I never feel in danger of running them down too quickly. Due to my habit of compulsively recharging all my gear, I simply end up plugging the Porta Pros in at some point during the week, which has proven sufficient so far. The fact they charge via MicroUSB instead of USB-C, however, is an annoyance in 2018
Fit
EarFun Air
Volume however is no problem, they can crank the dB's. Passive noise cancelation is decent when the ear pieces are fit snug although talking with one or both in my ears (when audio off) produces a reverberating echo in that ear(s). Touch control is about 80% successful for me, usually not registering one of my taps. Auto-pause/play on removal/insertion is about 50/50 although I'm working on making sure I'm "doing it right" as you have to snug it in and give it a twist although sometimes it works by just taking it out and putting it in

This also becomes a problem when you want to rest the headphones around your neck--the band immediately tightens up and practically strangles you.
Battery Life
EarFun Air
But I can tell you it works really well. Also superior in battery life. They last longer than AirPods do. Finally superior in clarity of hearing what people are saying

The built-in microphone on the Porta Pro Wireless is fine. Nothing spectacular, nobody has showered me with praise for my dulcet tones after a call, but it gets the job done.
