EARFUN AIR S
Earfun decided to throw the formula out the window with the Air S with premium features such as active noise cancellation (ANC), AAC and aptX support, IPX5 water resistance rating, and a 30 hour battery life. There's even wireless charging as the icing on the cake. The Earfun Air S comes in a cheerful yellow box that wastes no time in introducing you to the device and its app.

The charging case may look and feel cheap, but feels solid with no flex or creaks.
It's immediately apparent why it's priced the way it is when I picked it up. The charging case is made of cheap-feeling scratchy plastic with little heft. Nevertheless, it appears to be solidly built as it neither flexed nor creaked when I pinched it hard with my fingers.
Other than one single LED indicator light on the front of the case and a USB-C charging port, the charging case is devoid of any other flourishes. I'm reminded of a plastic pebble.
Despite the simplicity, I appreciate the matte finish, which doesn't attract fingerprints or smudges as much as glossy surfaces. As for accessories, Earfun has included a USB-C cable in the box as well as two additional pairs of silicone tips.
The earbuds themselves are also well-built despite using the same scratchy-feeling plastics. While they don't feel premium to the touch, the construction is solid and feels like it can take a beating.
