If you're on a tighter budget, the 1More Sonoflow offers great value with very good overall sound quality, closed back over-ear comfort, and active noise cancelling for a lower price. They are suitable for a variety of settings including air travel and provide a long battery life for extended use, but are bulkier for carrying around. The Creative Labs Aurvana Ace 2, although more expensive, gives you a lightweight and portable stemmed earbud design, with very good sound quality optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Its excellent build quality, sweat and dust resistance make it a good fit for active users, and it supports the latest lossless codecs for high-fidelity audio. However, its battery life is shorter, so you may need to charge more frequently. Choose the Sonoflow for comfort and value or the Aurvana Ace 2 for the best tech and portability. Give Feedback
