If you're looking for value, the 1More Sonoflow might be the better choice; they're typically less costly than the Bose 700 while still offering good quality audio. However, the Bose 700 stands out with superior noise cancellation, which is a major benefit if you need to concentrate or if you'll be in noisy environments frequently. Also, if you have frequent calls, Bose 700's microphone quality is generally better for clearer conversations. Keep in mind the comfort and build quality where Bose typically excels, making them potentially more comfortable for longer listening sessions. The decision ultimately rests on whether noise cancellation and build quality are worth the extra cost for 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."
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."
