At the IFA 2026 event in Berlin, Chinese audio brand EarFun introduced its latest high-end product, the Wave Pro X headset. Founded in 2018 in California by a group of acoustic engineers and music lovers, the company has traditionally focused on affordable earphones and headphones. Now, it aims to break into the premium audio market, which is dominated by well-established brands like Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser. The Wave Pro X is being marketed as a groundbreaking product, featuring a range of advanced technologies that set it apart from other headsets.
One of the standout features of the Wave Pro X is its dual coaxial acoustic architecture. Each earpiece contains two transducers—40-millimeter DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) dynamic drivers and 10-millimeter LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) transducers—aligned along the same acoustic axis. This design prevents interference between the drivers, reducing the delay between different sound frequencies. An AI-driven algorithm continuously manages the switching between the two transducers to ensure that bass, midrange, and treble remain in sync, even when playing complex audio tracks.
The headset supports a wide range of audio codecs, including aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, LDAC, SBC, AAC, and LC3, and it is certified for Hi-Res Audio, allowing it to play lossless audio tracks. It uses the Qualcomm QCC3095 chip, which handles wireless connectivity, sound processing, and noise cancellation. The headset supports Bluetooth 6.0, the latest standard, offering faster pairing and better battery efficiency. It also includes Google Fast Pair for easy connection with Android devices and a multipoint feature that lets users connect to two devices at once.
EarFun highlights its advanced hybrid adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC) system, which uses eight microphones and AI to analyze the environment and adjust noise cancellation in real-time. This means stronger noise filtering in noisy places like trains or airports, and reduced filtering in quiet spaces to preserve natural sound quality. The ANC also works in wired mode via USB or a 3.5 mm jack, which is useful for environments where Bluetooth is not available. The headset offers up to 90 hours of playback with ANC off and 50 hours with it on. A full charge takes about two hours, and a 15-minute fast charge adds 10 hours of use. The headset is foldable, weighs 259 grams, and is available in black and white with memory foam ear cushions. The EarFun Audio app allows users to customize sound settings, enable a low-latency gaming mode, and adjust physical controls. The Wave Pro X is priced at 149.99 euros.
