The 1More Sonoflow may be a better choice if you prioritize overall sound quality and active noise canceling for an immersive experience and better suitability for air travel, with good performance in comfort and build quality. They're over-ear headphones, which typically offer a more encompassing sound and better noise isolation but are larger and less portable. On the other hand, the Moondrop Nekocake, as less expensive earbuds, are more portable and offer good build quality but without active noise canceling. They're also rated slightly higher for exercise use and have earbud carry size for convenience but fall short in overall sound quality compared to the 1More Sonoflow. 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."

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
