The 1More Sonoflow headphones, being the more expensive option, provide excellent noise isolation and are suitable for air travel and focused listening sessions due to their over-ear design and active noise cancelling feature. They support high-quality LDAC codec for better sound over Bluetooth and can be used wired. If you're looking for a more immersive listening experience and plan to use them mostly in quiet environments, these may serve you better. On the other hand, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless earbuds are a budget-friendly choice with good mic quality, making them suitable for calls and meetings. They are light, stem-designed, and have a good overall score for music, plus they come with water and dustproof certifications, which make them a better choice for exercise and casual use. If you prioritize cost savings, portability, and mic quality over immersive sound quality and noise isolation, the JBLs would be a more suitable choice. 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 Vibe Beam earbuds may not be a sleek as other earbuds in the price range, such as the equally priced Vibe Buds, but they sound great, have a long battery life, and come with an equalizer. And if you just need a solid pair if earbuds to get you through your commute, these will do the trick. I have no complaints here."
