The 1More Sonoflow gives you high-quality sound, active noise cancelling, and wireless features which are great for a variety of situations, including air travel and listening to music. They are over-ear headphones, meaning they're larger but offer better sound isolation and battery life. The Sony MDREX15AP earbuds are more budget-friendly and offer very good sound quality for music, as well as being highly portable and comfortable, which makes them suitable for travel and everyday use. However, they lack wireless connectivity and noise cancelling, which could be significant if you need to block out ambient noise or prefer the freedom of no wires. 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."

Make It Sound Great
Pete Anthony | June 2022
"At the ultra budget $10 price-point (and we’ve seen the no-mic version go for as cheap as $7), I’d say these are a decent option if you’re looking for a passable pair of earbuds for basic use that’s as cheap as possible. I wouldn’t say they feel or sound as good as some of the ultra-budget alternatives out there – of which there are a few at this point – but some might disagree. I will say though that the cable is a little bit nicer than those of that same competition."
