The 1More Sonoflow offers a more immersive listening experience for music with its over-ear design and longer battery life, making it suitable for air travel and longer listening periods. However, the Beats Studiobuds are more portable, provide a higher sound quality, and are sweatproof, which makes them better for exercise. Both have active noise cancelling, but if you're looking for customization and controls via an app, 1More provides that feature. Importantly, Beats Studiobuds support the AAC codec, beneficial for Apple users, while Sonoflow supports LDAC for high-quality audio. If you take lots of calls or attend online meetings, Studiobuds have a slightly better performance. For gaming and watching TV, both are comparable. 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 less than the price of the AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds delivers a good fit, great sound, and active noise cancellation. This is also the first set of Apple-owned Beats earbuds to feature quick pairing with Android devices, albeit at the expense of some key features for Apple users."
