If you prioritize a wireless option with solid sound quality and more features at a lower price, go for the 1More Sonoflow, which also offers good comfort and a decent battery life. However, if you're seeking the best soundstage experience for music in a quiet environment and can sacrifice portability and wireless convenience for superior build and sound quality, the Audeze LCD 2 Classic would be superior, even though it's more expensive. Note that the Audeze lacks a microphone and built-in controls, and is not recommended for exercise or travel due to its size and open-back design. 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 Greatest Song
Greatest Song Team | August 2023
"These headphones outdo rival planar magnetic headphones, especially in terms of dynamics. Compared to the Hifiman Ananda or the Hifiman Edition XS there is noticeably more slam in the sound, particularly in the bass. The LCD-2C gives you a fantastic sense of quiet dynamics with crystalline precision. This is evident also in our clinical tests, where it’s just easier to understand spoken text at very low volumes."
