The 1More Sonoflow headphones provide a good overall sound quality with comfortable over-ear design, and are suitable for various audio content, with particularly strong performance for music and air travel due to their noise isolation capabilities; they also offer longer battery life and have a detachable cable. The Sony WF1000XM5 earbuds, while more expensive, offer a more compact form factor with stemless design and added features like active noise cancelling, wireless charging, optimized controls for Android and Apple, and ear/head detection. The Sony earbuds are more portable and may be better for use in noisier environments and during exercise due to their lighter weight and sweat resistance. 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."
"The Sony WF-1000XM5 is among the best noise canceling earbuds currently on the market, and they aren’t cheap. These earbuds aren’t the best choice for budget-conscious listeners. But if you prioritize active noise cancelation, sound quality, and extensive software support, the WF-1000XM5 is worth its premium price tag."
