If you're looking for a cost-effective option and prefer over-ear closed-back headphones for an immersive sound and good noise isolation, the 1More Sonoflow is suitable, especially for music and air travel due to its very good overall sound quality and long battery life. However, they're bulkier and not ideal for exercise. Conversely, the JBL Live Flex 3 earbuds, although more expensive, are lighter, have a stem design optimized for calls with good microphone quality, and are sweatproof and dustproof, making them great for exercise and use with a smartphone. They also offer a unique Smart Charging Case with LED touch display for control, which the 1More lacks. So, if you value portability, exercise compatibility, and innovative features, the JBL might be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback

"The SonoFlow is cheap and fun, without going too far into being overly warm or annoyingly grating, or sharp sounding. The ANC features are lovely with strong app integration and excellent battery life."
