The 1More Sonoflow headphones offer a lower price and can be wired or wireless with better noise isolation, suitable for enjoying music with good overall sound quality and longer battery life, which makes them great for travel or casual listening. They also come with a detachable cable. The Beats Powerbeats Pro, however, are earbuds designed with exercise in mind, having an ear hook design that ensures they stay put during workouts, and they're sweatproof. Their form factor offers better comfort and built-in controls, and they're particularly optimized for phone calls and meetings due to slightly better mic quality. If workout and call quality are top priorities and you're willing to spend more, opt for the Powerbeats Pro. Otherwise, for general listening with the added versatility of a wired option and better battery life, the Sonoflow may be the better choice. 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."
"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."
