If you're looking for a more affordable option with good sound quality, the 1More Sonoflow may suit your needs, though its capabilities for calls and meetings or gaming are not its strongest points. On the other hand, the Bose Quiet Comfort 45, while pricier, offers superior comfort and excellent noise isolation, making it a strong candidate for air travel and work environments. It also comes with a longer battery life. Both models offer active noise cancelling and are over-ear headphones providing good portability and include a carrying case. Consider your budget and where you'll be using them most to make 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."

"If you want a set of wireless over-ear headphones you can put on, deploy noise-cancelling on your commute or at your desk and largely extinguish the outside world for up to 24 hours, the Bose QC 45 has the edge over most of the competition at the price."
