Introduction

EarFun is a company that builds a variety of consumer audio equipment such as wireless headphones, a variety of Bluetooth speakers and of course, true wireless earphones. That’s… kind of it.

My interest in these kinds of super consumerist brands are usually non-existent, but what makes the EarFun x Oluv Free unique is, per its name, that it’s tuned by an audiophile personality.

“Who is Oluv” you ask? Oluv, or better known by his old handle clavinetjunkie, is a YouTube audio gear reviewer who got his fame from his Bluetooth speaker comparisons, but has recently branched out into IEMs and headphones with the help of his MiniDSP EARS measurement rig. A rig that he uses with what I feel is a bit too much confidence for my liking (given its wonky acoustic impedance) but that’s a separate topic for another time.

Oluv is a pedantic critic, much like me. He also loves measurements, just like me. Yet we disagree on many things and so this product feels like the perfect opportunity to get a feel of his tuning preferences and see where we stand. At any case, regardless of the outcome of this little experiment, the concept of collaborating with known reviewers during a product’s tuning process is certainly one that I hope to see more of in the future.
