If you prioritize sound quality and are looking for noise isolation for uses like air travel, the 1More Sonoflow headphones are a good fit and have active noise cancelling, but they are less portable and might be less suitable for exercise. For those who need a lighter, more compact option optimized for on-the-go activities and prefer earbuds, the JBL Tune Buds are a better choice, offering good portability and a sweatproof design, although they lack active noise cancelling and might not isolate noise as effectively as the Sonoflows. Keep in mind, the Sonoflow offers better battery life for longer usage, but the Tune Buds provide a case that extends their battery life significantly. If budget is a concern, the Tune Buds are often somewhat less expensive. Give Feedback

How the 1More Sonoflow and the JBL Tune Buds 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."
"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
