There were mixed responses online ever since Apple released their wireless airpods last year. Many have shared that it’s too expensive and has lesser functions than the earpods, while other say it’s a perfect apple creation especially for those who are always on the run and that it sounded better.
However, there’s a new wireless earbud in the market that will surely get every gamer’s attention out there – the newest Funcl W1 and Funcl AI! Is this the new Apple Airpods Killer? Read on…
Fortunately, we’ve got our hands in these latest products, and considering their USD19 and USD54 price tag, these two amazing products are worth the penny!
Design
The black Funcl AI is truly sleek and fits perfectly on the ears. It’s very comfortable to wear and features a Hi-Fi sound and long battery life. By the way, it’s also pronounced as “funk-kel” which is more like a combination of “fun” and “uncle” (pun intended).
It has an ergonomic and compact black matte charging case which is indeed an A+ for us – as you can put it anywhere and it does look expensive as well!
Its earbuds does not also fall off easily because of its protective magnetic case system. Unlike the Airpods, the Funcl AI’s headphone rack is placed horizontally for a more unique look.
As for the Funcl W1, you’d definitely dig in the capsule-like charging case, with the same magnetic case system as well. Stylish. It also came with a, a micro USB cord, and a few sizes of silicone ear tips.
The difference here is that W1 has a rounded earbud while the Funcl is similar with the Apple Airpods. Both also has its touch button with their “f” logo.

Performance
Funcl AI is a great earbud, there’s no denying, in terms of sound quality! It works on both android and apple devices which is great.
Just like the Apple Airpods, Funcl AI automatically turns on whenever I take them out of the protective and charging case. The wireless earphone also connects fast to my iPhone and Android phone. The device also automatically turns off as soon as I place them on its charging case.
I also like the horizontal design of the earphone rack which makes the storage case more compact and stylish.
