If you prioritize sound quality and features like wireless connectivity, active noise cancelling, and a longer battery life, you'll likely prefer the 1More Sonoflow. They also offer better comfort, build quality, and include an app for customization. However, the Sony MDR-ZX110 are considerably more affordable, lightweight, and foldable, making them convenient for portability. The Sonoflow uses LDAC for high-quality audio over Bluetooth, which might be important if you have a compatible device. Choose the Sony if cost and compactness are your main concerns; opt for the 1More if you want a richer feature set and are willing to invest more. 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."
"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
