If you prioritize overall sound quality and noise isolation for an immersive music experience and are willing to invest more, the 1More Sonoflow would be the better choice. However, if you're looking for something more affordable that excels in gaming due to its higher gaming score and superior microphone for communication, the JBL Quantum 100 would suit your needs. The 1More Sonoflow also offers the convenience of both wireless and wired connections, while the JBL Quantum 100 is wired only. Additionally, if longer battery life is important to you for extended use without charging, the Sonoflow offers a significant advantage. 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."
"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
