If you prioritize sound quality, comfort, and active noise cancelling for longer, focused listening sessions, particularly in noisy environments like air travel, and don't mind spending more, the 1More Sonoflow is a better fit. However, if you're on a budget and want headphones for casual use with good built-in controls and don't require noise cancellation or superior sound, the JBL 510BT may be more suitable. The Sonoflow also offers better battery life, but the JBL charges faster. Keep in mind, the Sonoflow supports LDAC for higher quality wireless audio, which the JBL lacks, and has a detachable cable for more versatility. 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."

"The JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."
