The 1More Sonoflow offers better noise isolation, is suitable for long trips due to higher comfort, and provides a more balanced sound quality for immersive music experiences. They are wireless and come with features such as active noise cancelling and a longer battery life, making them versatile for various settings including air travel. Conversely, the Steelseries TUSQ, while more budget-friendly, has a boom mic that delivers higher quality for calls and gaming. It also has a more durable build and is optimized for gamers with a higher score in gaming audio. However, the TUSQ lacks wireless functionality and doesn't support active noise cancelling, which could be a drawback for noise-sensitive environments and travel. 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 SteelSeries Arctis Tusq is a great headset for those on a more modest budget. You can use it for gaming or music, and I daresay it's also great for Zoom meetings when you don't want to be wearing on-ear or over-ear headphones."
