Choosing between the 1More Sonoflow and the JBL Live Pro 2, consider that the Sonoflow offers superior noise isolation and slightly better overall sound quality, with robust build quality and an immersive experience for music and air travel. The Sonoflow also has active noise cancelling, a longer cable, and supports high-quality LDAC Bluetooth codec. The JBL Live Pro 2, while slightly more expensive, provides better portability, suitability for exercise, and added convenience with features like ear detection, a longer battery life, and a charging case that supports wireless charging. If you prioritize call quality and portability, the JBL Live Pro 2 could be the better choice, whereas the Sonoflow excels in acoustic performance and features for focused listening. Give Feedback

How the 1More Sonoflow and the JBL Live Pro 2 compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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 Live Pro 2 TWS occupy an interesting space in the wireless earbuds market. They’re a step up from cheap wireless earbuds and allow you to access better sound quality without having to make the jump to more premium options from the likes of Bose, Sony and Sennheiser. They’re an entertaining listen, easy to use and manage to pack in a lot of useful features. We think they’re well worth a listen."
