If you're looking for a more affordable option that still provides good sound quality and comfort, the 1More Sonoflow might be the better choice. They are wireless, have a long battery life, and are relatively portable, making them great for casual listening and commuting. However, the Rode NTH-100M, while more expensive, offers superior microphone quality, making them excellent for calls and meetings. They also provide a better experience for gaming thanks to their lower latency and better soundstage. The Rode model doesn't offer wireless capabilities, so they would be less convenient for on-the-go use. Give Feedback

"The NTH-100M is a closed-back headset aimed at professional audiophiles—streamers, podcasters and content creators included—looking for masterful audio and a detachable 'broadcast-grade' microphone."
