If you prioritize battery life and active noise canceling for long listening sessions and air travel, the 1More Sonoflow headphones would suit you better, plus they are foldable for easier transport. However, if you prioritize a sweatproof option for exercise with good performance for calls and meetings and low latency for gaming and video, the JBL Tune Flex earbuds would be a better choice, and they are optimized for both Android and Apple with a smaller carrying case for portability. The Sonoflow offers a detachable cable and virtual surround sound, which the Tune Flex does not. Both offer very good overall sound quality, but the Tune Flex is often somewhat less expensive.

"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."
"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
