The 1More Sonoflow earphones are a better choice if you're looking for something at a lower price point with a longer cable, LDAC codec support for high-resolution audio, and a more portable design due to its foldability. They also feature superior noise isolation quality, making them excellent for air travel and good for focusing on your music without outside interruptions. However, if battery life is crucial for you, the JBL Live 770NC offers significantly longer battery life, and they also come with virtual surround sound, which could enhance your listening experience for movies and games. These headphones are optimized for comfort and have a better build for durability, along with additional features like app equalizer customization and app audio controls. If active noise canceling is a must-have, both options include this feature, but if you're concerned about weight, the JBLs are lighter. Choose the Sonoflow if cost and high-resolution audio are priorities, or the JBL Live 770NC if you want longer battery life and a more immersive virtual surround sound experience. Give Feedback
