The 1More Sonoflow offers better overall sound quality and noise isolation, which makes them suited for immersive listening experiences and air travel. They also have a longer battery life and support for a lossless codec, suitable for high-fidelity audio enthusiasts. On the other hand, the Skullcandy Dime 2, while less expensive, provides a higher comfort score and is highly portable, perfect for active use and exercise. The Dime 2 also supports a low latency codec, making them more appropriate for casual gaming and watching videos. Both options have a built-in microphone, but neither is optimized for calls. Consider what's most important for your daily use when making your 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."
"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
