For the best overall sound quality and noise isolation, the 1More Sonoflow surpasses the Apple AirPods (2nd generation), offering a more immersive audio experience ideal for a variety of settings, including air travel. However, the Sonoflows' bulkier over-ear design and weight may make them less convenient for on-the-go use compared to the compact and highly portable AirPods, which also provide seamless integration with Apple devices. The AirPods are equipped with wireless charging, are optimized for calls and meetings with slightly better microphone quality, and are notably more sweatproof, making them a better option for exercise. If you prioritize battery life, the Sonoflow offers longer playback time. Consider which features align better with your usage scenarios and whether compatibility with Apple products or price savings is more important to you. 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."
