The 1More Sonoflow are closed-back, wireless headphones with good overall sound quality, moderate noise isolation, and features like LDAC codec support and app integration, which might enhance your listening experience. They are more suitable for portable use, exercise, and air travel. On the other hand, the Philips SHP9500 are open-back, wired headphones that provide excellent soundstage and comfort but lack noise isolation, making them better suited for quiet environments where you can appreciate the open sound without disturbance. They do not have wireless capabilities or a microphone. If you prioritize a wireless option and portability for a slightly lower price, go for the 1More Sonoflow; if soundstage and comfort are your main concerns and you mainly listen in quiet places, consider the Philips SHP9500.
