If you're looking for over-ear headphones and prioritize audio quality and build quality, the 1More Sonoflow could be a better choice, as they usually offer superior sound and build quality. They support high-definition codecs like LDAC, which is ideal for high-resolution audio streaming if your device is compatible. However, they come at a higher price. On the other hand, the Creative Labs Outlier Pro are more budget-friendly with decent sound and build quality. They are earbuds, making them more portable and inconspicuous. They also have a longer-lasting battery life than the 1More Sonoflow, which could be crucial if you're always on the go. However, they lack support for high-definition codecs like LDAC. So, if you value portability and battery life over the highest audio quality and can forego features like LDAC, the Outlier Pro might be the more suitable and economical option. Give Feedback
