En's radius will not be as large as this ability of mine. As En is literally stretching the Nen across a large region around the user so anything inside could be detected, hence most people couldn't make it past a few meters unless you're the absolute masters like Zeno or monsters like Pitou. Meanwhile I'm merely sending the Nen in the form of packets that picks up vibrations in the air around them, as such I could pick up information in a significantly larger radius over hundreds of meters or even kilometers if there's enough training, but the deployment of this ability will be slower than En. Otherwise yes, it performs pretty similarly to En, with the addition of range at the cost of being slower. But the upside is, that's merely a fraction of my ability's capabilities, and there is much more it could do besides behaving like En.

I could communicate with others by controlling air vibrations and "talk" to them as well as to "hear" from them in the most generic sense, made possible by using the emitted Nen in the air as a medium to telepathically transfer the messages between nearest Nen packets in the air and broadcast it verbally by manipulating the air waves/sound. Beyond the few conditions I set in order to trigger this sections of the ability (must know the name, seen them before and that they agree with it), they most also be within the range in which my ability covers for this to take effect.
