The 1More Sonoflow is closed-back, wireless, and offers features like noise cancelling and Bluetooth support, making them versatile for commuting and office use, but they may not provide as natural a soundstage as open-back headphones. On the other hand, the Philips Fidelio X2HR are open-back, which typically delivers a wider and more immersive soundstage suitable for critical listening at home, but they lack features like noise cancelling and are not portable. If you value noise isolation and wireless convenience at a lower cost, go for the 1More Sonoflow. For a more authentic audio experience in a quiet environment, despite a higher price, choose the Philips Fidelio X2HR. Give Feedback
