The 1More Sonoflow offers better sound isolation and generally higher sound quality than Apple Earpods, making them suitable for audiophiles and those who want to block out exterior noise. However, they come at a higher cost, so they may not be the best choice for those on a budget. Apple Earpods are more affordable and provide decent quality for everyday casual use, plus they integrate seamlessly with other Apple products. If you're looking for utility and savings, Apple Earpods are a solid choice, but if you're after superior sound and noise isolation and are willing to invest more, then the 1More Sonoflow would be better.

"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."

Michael Andronico | May 2023
"Apple’s wired buds sound just fine for the price, and their handy inline controls and clear microphone give them an edge on wireless earbuds that are much more expensive. Plus, you never have to worry about running out of battery — or worse, a stray earbud going missing."
