The 1More Sonoflow offers better overall sound quality and noise isolation, making it ideal for immersive listening and environments where minimizing outside noise is desired. It also supports LDAC for higher-quality audio over Bluetooth, and its over-ear, closed-back design leads to a better bass and soundstage experience. However, it may be heavier and bulkier, which could impact portability and comfort during extended use. On the other hand, the Shokz OpenMove uses bone conduction technology, which leaves your ears open to ambient sounds; this is an advantage for outdoor activities where situational awareness is important, but the open design means sound quality, especially bass, is less strong. OpenMove is lightweight, has a sweatproof build, and includes ear hooks for a secure fit during exercise, but does not support advanced codecs like LDAC and may be less suitable for high-fidelity listening experiences.

"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 Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
