If sound quality is your priority, the 1More Sonoflow delivers a slightly better experience than the Apple AirPods Pro. However, the AirPods Pro offer superior comfort, have a better microphone, and excel in noise isolation, which is great for calls and air travel. For portability, the AirPods Pro are the clear choice as they are significantly lighter and come with a compact case. The Sonoflow, being over-ear, may be more comfortable for long sessions and could provide better battery life. Both are decent choices for music, but if you rely heavily on a microphone for calls or meetings, favor the AirPods Pro. The Sonoflow doesn't fully support Apple's ecosystem features such as ear/head detection and has no wireless charging, which might affect convenience if you're integrated into Apple's ecosystem. Consider your budget and how much these features matter to you when making your decision. 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."
"For just $50 USD more than the original model with the wireless charging case, this is definitely the pair of buds to get. The AirPods Pro (1st generation) sounds better than the originals and has a way better fit and active noise canceling to boot. If you have an iOS device, just get this."
