1More SonoFlow Headphones

As a disclaimer, I am not an audiophile and this is the first set of expensive, 'real' headphones I've purchases seeking better sound quality and comfort. Prior to this, I have only ever used the headphones which come free with my phone (yes, really) or very low quality wireless buds. Before purchasing the 1More SonoFlow I owned the JBL 510, and Sony CH520. The JBL were quite poor comfort and longevity wise, and whilst the Sony had great audio and good comfort, I fancied getting something with a bit more 'oomph'. I bought these headphones in the black friday sale so keep that in mind too. Pros: - Incredibly comfortable, I mean like, seriously, it's like wearing a cloud on your head. Both the ear cups and headband padding are superb. The headset isn't heavy but the only thing I could say is, depending on the weather and conditions it may get a bit warm (but not uncomfortable). I have medium sized ears and the whole cup covers me whole ear, there's no pressing whatsoever but still a decent level of soft clamping (not pressing into your head) - what what's it's worth I am a bald man and find these incredibly comfortable on my skin. Also, SUPER IMPORTANT: These are EXCELLENT headphones if you wear GLASSES. Over head ear phones often cause me pain/discomfort and indents on the sides of my head, not with the 1More. There is no pressure being put against my ears or glasses. - Look incredibly stylish, great colours! And look great when wearing too. Some headphones in this price range just look awful. Also, the folding hinges is great. - I have no prior experience with ANC headphones so you will have to look for opinions elsewhere, what I can say is that it does indeed work however there does seem to still be some sound seeping through depending on the environment. I'm not sure what is to be expected so if ANC is very important for you, do some additional research. For this price range the general consensus is the 1More SonoFlow does a good job. [UPDATE 1/12/23]: after using ANC in varied environments I can confirm it is OK at taking the edge off noise around you. You can still hear things but they are a lot more 'muffled'. I'm not sure if the ANC is a 'true' feature or just tacked on at this point, as I can still hear a fair bit of noise. [UPDATE 05/12/23]: After some time testing out ANC, and corroborating other opinions I've read, I can confirm ANC is working as it should. I thought at first it was initially underwhelming or just not working properly, but for the price range it does a good job of muffling lower frequency noises like train/bus sounds. It's not meant to completely block out sound as I assumed. I don't tend to use ANC for longer periods, around 15-30 mins max. - Sound quality is very good, I can evidently see the jump up in quality from my previous headphones. The sound is not knock your socks off amazing on first listen, it's not flat but somewhat neutral as default, let me explain - the sound is very warm (deep, lower frequency tones) and the higher frequencies are not sharp or distorted. The built in EQ presents do a decent job of diversifying the sound. I think this is a nice default sound tuning which won't put many people off. [UPDATE 1/12/23]: after some time for my ears to adjust, I can confirm the balancing is quite good as default. The default studio EQ is quite good but I've noticed at the lowest volume the treble and higher frequencies seem to clash a bit. But even just putting it up one notch resolves this. [UPDATE 05/12/23]: After spending more time with the default studio setting, and trying various audio, I can say these are very well tuned headphones. The default sound quality is actually better than I originally realised. Of course it depends on the mastering of the audio you're listening to, but as standard the signature sound on these headphones is very well balanced. Nothing seems to override anything else, there is no muddying of the lower end frequencies and higher end are not 'sharp' or 'grating'. - Comes with a case and wired cord! However the connection is 2.5mm to 3.5mm. - Incredible battery life and fast charging. Mixed (your mileage may vary on these points): - The app: yes it's great to have an app, but the UI/UX design is a bit dated and doesn't feel fluid, also, the manual equaliser at the time of writing only goes 3db either way, which is a shame as Sony's app for their headphones seems to offer a greater range of adjustment. Also, as of now it seems you can only save 3 manual EQ presets. On the flip side the actual UI of the equaliser is easy to use and pleasant to look at. - Build quality. The 1More SonoFlow look gorgeous, and incredibly comfortable, when on your hear they feel firm in place with no wobble (albeit these will NOT be suitable for very physical activity), and the headband adjuster feels solid. The actual materials can feel a bit plasticky, and also the plastic, specifically on the right arm band creaks a little bit with stretch to put the headphones on and off. At first this really bugged me and I kept squeezing the right arm, it felt almost... hollow? or just, creaky. It could just be mine, either way, in practice day to use use it does not become a real bother, and there is no noticeable creaks or noise when on my head or adjusting them. - UX Sound Interaction: What I mean by this is the sound queues when operating the headphones. When you turn the headset on, it will repeat the battery level twice for some reason, slightly annoying. The start up and shut down jingle is uh, not utterly awful but not very elegant. There's a jingle when changing the ANC mode, which doesn't stop what you are listening to but the jingle seems to last about 0.5 seconds too long, feeling a bit intrusive. - ANC increases the lower end frequencies/bass to help compensate the noise cancellation. Subjective: There is very minimal 'clamping'. As someone with glasses who prefer a looser fit, I am happy with this. If however you have a smaller head/ears, or want to be physical (e.g. running or dynamic gym exercises) these may not be the right headset for you. - 2.5 - 3.5 wired connection - When using the headset wired, the frequency response curve seems to change quite significantly on the lower end frequencies. Check out the SoundGuys review for this headset to check graph readings. Cons: - The only real cons I can think of is the buttons. They're actually quite tactile enough and easy to feel, but there's a few odd things, first is the placement. The power/pause button is located on the right side earphone placed at the front facing forward, but is also positioned quite low. It's not very natural feeling and I need to fumble a bit before I find it. The ANC button is on the right side facing the back and positioned higher, which my thumb naturally lands on! So, that would've been better. I guess 1More really want you to use the ANC features often eh! The volume up and down buttons are fine and tactile, and there is minimal delay for the presses to register. The only this is, the (-) button long press is the next track button, and the (+) is the previous track button. On most other headsets, it's quite naturally the other way around. Would be cool if a software update allows us to customise this. All in all I'm really happy with the 1More Sonoflow, as someone who wanted to get into the world of higher quality headsets, this is unbeatable value for money. There are similar headsets in this price range so be sure to do your research first to compare the most important qualities for you. But I will say these are a very strong contender and once again I am SO happy to have picked 1More in a world of Sony and JBL.

I spent a lot of time reading and watching headphone reviews before finally deciding on these as my first pair of over the ear headphones. They're never going to be as good as the top end Sony or Bose, but then the price is a lot lower and, ultimately, I couldn't justify the price of the Sonys for my usage. The sound is good, probably better than my usual in-ear buds which were a similar price. There's an EQ and a few presets so opportunity to tailor your sound how you want. Noise cancellation is pretty good, especially for continuous tones like a kettle or lawnmower. It generally doesn't cancel the sound completely but it does make them a lot quieter. There's also a pass through mode to help if you need to listen to your surroundings. I've also found this mode is better if using the headphones for telephone calls, as full noise cancellation can be a bit odd for your own voice and you can feel the pressure build up from them. The fit is ok, there's plenty of adjustment to the height and angle and they're comfy for long periods. They do seem to stick out quite a lot though, so if you have less than thick hair (or none in my case) there's a large gap between the frame above the top of the ear piece and your head. From looking at some of the reviews, I think the Bose and Sony look better as it's closer in, presumably down to where the arms connect to the ear piece. I've also found them a bit unpleasant on a hot day, as the faux leather makes that part of your head very warm. As I mentioned, these are my first pair of over ear headphones so that may be a common problem and I didn't see any others which had those pieces in a different material e.g a foam that may be cooler. All in all, a good set of headphones for the price and a serious contender if this is your budget.

First of all, I am no audio buff/ technician. I am merely basing my review on my personal use. These are in my opinion excellent entry level Bluetooth, noise cancelling headphones, particularly for the price. The sound quality appears to be pretty good, using my standard music interface on my phone. Base and treble was good, although it depends on the settings on the app. I took these on many runs, walks and air plane journeys. I found the noise cancelling pretty good, depending on the volume I had it playing. They are very loud, but again this may be down to the quality of the track you're playing, plus app. I had them on full volume for at least 9 hours, and still had life in them. Using them in-flight was extremely good, and they cancelled out almost all noise. They charge very quickly. I didn't download their app, as I read the reviews, which suggested it didn't work well. I can't therfore review that personally. They are comfortable to wear, and easily packed away in its solid case (you have to fold them up to fit). They come with the audio cable, which I did not use. Overall, I am extremely pleased with these, and use them often.

I spent a good month watching review videos on headphones. I never watched one on this product. I purchased these blind after an advert popped up in an article I was reading. I was so sick of searching I decided to give these a go, on a whim. I couldn't lose really, only £80 and given Amazon's great returns policy. They were delivered the next day. They come in a solid carry case into which they fit neatly, it's a bit confusing to fit them the first time, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. Straight out of the box they have a medium battery charge. The battery is great I didn't need to charge them for two weeks and I haven't had to charge them again since. The build quality seems great but only time will tell on this one. It takes no time at all to find and get used to using the controls. The sound quality is difficult to quantify I'm not in any way an expert, but they sound great to me. They have noise cancelling which was a revelation. I was sat playing with the setting in the app, as you do. I had the washer and the dryer going in the utility, which is ten feet away from where I was sat. Nothing playing through the headphones and the noise from the utility disappeared when I activated the noise cancelling. I can't imagine how other headphones could be better. The app is ok, functional, again it's not my area. I don't know enough about music to mess with the provided settings, which sound great to me. The only negative is I can't work out how to connect to two Bluetooth devices. The manufacturer should make that easier, hopefully a software update will fix this. Update. Had these headphones for 31 months now. We use them daily and they have never let us down. They are charged every ten days or so, recharge takes about 90 minutes. The ear cushion is a little split and worn but they are still usable. Still amazed by the noise cancelling, I can be sat watching football wearing the headphones whilst the wife is sat directly next to me watching some film and I can't hear her at all.

The headphones are very comfortable over long term use with fantastic battery life to boot. The noise cancelling does a good job on the low end rumbles such as on buses and plane. They don't block out as much of the higher end sounds as the passive noise cancelling isn't the best but at their current price, I'm very happy with its performance in this regard, definitely much better than headphones without ANC. In terms of sound, I do find the standard preset slightly too flat for my taste. Once I opted for the Classical preset, it really brought out more of the higher end and improved the emphasis on the low end, perfect for those that prefer a more coloured tuning. I would recommend listening with ANC on as that brings a more of the low end to life. The LDAC support is also great for those that listen to higher bitrate tunes. The only gripe would be that the headphones can't be powered when using a wired connection, so it may not be ideal for watching movies on a plane infotainment system with the included cable. It is still serviceable in this situation but of course you will just get more plane noise. The other good news is that they still sound reasonably good when wired, perhaps not to the level when they are powered but they will be very usable long after the battery dies. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others that want a more budget oriented ANC headphone option.

Right. Straight off I loved the price - £64, ANC, LDAC, folding. So, I went for it. This is an all-plastic build. Not premium, but sturdy. Smells like cheap plastic too. A bit of creaking when you bend it but it is £64. All the buttons are on the right side. The power button is fiddly at the start but trust me, you soon get used to it. The only one that stumps me is summoning the Google Assistant. Pairing with two devices is okay but not reliable. Tried using it for work but my Team settings would fail to remember the device on a subsequent call. Embarrassing. Call quality is superb. Even when outdoors the person on the other end hears my clearly. Sound - Not Sony WH1000XM4 but for the price I say it’s good. I'm no specialist but it sounds good to me. Comfort is great. No fatigue at all and the padding works for my bald head. Not the best if you are power walking. Your ears will sweat for real. Transparency mode is passable, but I find I hear voices better with the XM4's. ANC is good and switching to it seems to up the base response. Connecting to me TV is okay, lags at the start then improves. It does multipoint (pairing with two devices, so you are covered). I am impressed. They are cheap so no one is going to try and steal them. Well worth the outlay. I actually bought these as a present but decided to keep them. Update: Drowns out the sound of airplane cabin noise (to a low rumble) allowing you to listen to music in relative peace. The 3.5mm cable works but in mono. Loud announcements and voices are clear in transparency mode but not low volume sounds. You can have a conversation but you may miss some words. Not great on the underground. When catching my flight I could hear every bit of the train screeching through the tunnels. Still worth it but has its limitations.

Writing this review after returning the Sonoflows. Had them for a week, using with an iPhone XR. I’m not an audiophile, just a casual listener. TL/DR - they are fine, as long as you manage your expectations for a sub - £100 set of noise cancelling headphones, these probably have good enough sound and plenty of features to keep most average users happy, especially if the introductory discount is still in effect (they were £69 with discount when I bought them). **** THE GOOD - Sounded fine in my preferred genres (Hip hop, Grime, Drill), with solid bass without losing mids and highs for the most part. I wasn’t blown away, but I think they are decent and I enjoyed listening to music on them. - Foldable, light and compact, with an excellent hard travel case included. Would be very good for travel. Overall build quality seems good. - Huge battery life. I didn’t have these long enough to test the limits but general reviews seem to concur it is good. I believe they be used wired/passively too (a cable is included) if you want to conserve battery. **** THE BAD - Comfort was poor for me. This, along with sound, is very subjective and your mileage may vary. I found these were causing me lots of pain at the base of my jaw. Not sure if it was the clamping force or the way the ear cups sat on my head causing a specific pressure point. Anyway, I found that I had to take them off after about 30 minutes. Maybe this would get better with time, or if you stretched them out for a few days, but I prefer things to be comfortable and work from the get go! - Volume seems low. These just didn’t seem to get very loud. Don’t know if that was an issue due to my source device or the headphones. - ANC was disappointing given the amount of hype there was about these and their ANC performance, and they suffered for that in my view. It’s ok, but no better than others I have tried at this price point. You’ll notice a difference when on vs off, but don’t expect miracles! Using them on busy London streets and the Underground network, they removed some low end engine noises, but I still found myself having to increase the volume quite a bit to drown out the other sounds filtering in. Anyway, hope that helps!

I originally got a defective item and it stopped working in a few months. Since it was under warranty I sent it back to the seller and received a replacement and it worked perfectly. Some quick thoughts after 5 months of usage: - In terms of value for money it's very hard to beat. The sound quality is very good once you start using the custom EQ. - ANC performance is decent. Ofcourse can't be compared to Sony or Bose. In this price range I frankly couldn't find anything better. - my favorite part about these headphones are the comfort and built quality. The padding is very generous and looks like it'll last a while. Might appear a bit heavy at first after a few use it was very comfortable. - Excellent customer service. Was a bit disappointed at first when I received a defective item but I got in touch with the seller and It was replaced with in a few days. Customer service was as good as some of the top brands. Overall, for under a 100 euros price range, this is hard to beat.

He comprado estos cascos para el gimnasio porque mis airpods pro de 2 se me caen continuamente cuando hago ejercicio. Estuve varios días informándome y buscando sobre cascos calidad - precio, ya que no pensaba dejarme una cantidad abismal (como he mencionado anteriormente, para un uso más casual tengo los airpods), y estos cascos estaban muy bien valorados tanto en amazon como en otras plataformas. Los he comprado con la oferta actual (19/01/23) a 74.99 euros, y he de decir que es uno de los mejores productos que he comprado en mi vida en relación precio-satisfacción, así que aquí os dejo mi experiencia: - En cuanto a la calidad de sonido (que es lo primero que buscas en unos auriculares) he de decir que estoy BASTANTE sorprendido y cuando digo bastante es que no noto gran diferencia con los airpods (300 euros). Obviamente un experto dirá que estoy loco, pero para un usuario normal como yo de verdad que no es una diferencia notable, por tanto juzguen ustedes mismos. - Otro gran factor que me importaba era la cancelación de sonido. No he visto muchos auriculares con cancelación activa de ruido por este precio, por lo que pensaba que tampoco sería una de sus virtudes. Pues estaba totalmente equivocado. Puede parecer que la marca me ha pagado pero les prometo que soy neutral jajajaj. Es bastante parecida a la de los airpods. Se ocultan todas las frecuencias graves y sólo se escuchan algunas más agudas, pero con música son prácticamente imperceptibles, no oyes ni tus propios pasos. - Probablemente lo mejor que tienen estos cascos es la batería. ¿Estamos locos? 70 horas. ¿En qué cabeza cabe eso? Es verdad que los he recibido hace poco, por lo que no puedo decir si esto se conserva a largo plazo, pero para que se hagan una idea antes he terminado de cargarlos (que por cierto 5 minutos dan para 5 horas) y llevo dos horas usándolos con la cancelación activa. Siguen al cien por cien de carga. - Comodidad. Tengo una cabeza bastante grande, no me caben ninguna gorra. Pues para mi sorpresa, no he tenido ni que ampliar al máximo las asas, con aproximadamente la mitad del recorrido me caben de sobra y ADEMÁS un punto muy importante para mí era que la oreja quedara totalmente integrada en la almohadilla, que no me molestara que se quedasen fuera. Y así es, cumple a la perfección. - Obviamente no puedes esperar unos materiales muy premium ni un diseño asombroso, pero de verdad que para nada se sienten unos cascos baratos o endebles. Cuando abres las asas para agrandarlos, lo que conecta las dos partes es metálico, que se agradece mucho. Las almohadillas se notan bastante contundentes y el estuche con el que vienen los auriculares les queda perfecto, además de aportar profesionalidad. Por tanto, si estás planteando comprártelos o no, hazme caso y no esperes más, encima con 25 euros de descuento. Gracias!!

To match this headphone’s performance, you’d likely need to spend 2–3× more elsewhere. My listening is mainly 60s–70s rock, blues, acoustics, vocals, jazz, and classical — and these hit every sweet spot. If you’re after heavy bass or EDM, other options may be better. For everything else, this is remarkable value. The Highs • Wide, clear soundstage with natural, uncoloured reproduction • 50+ hours battery life • Decent ANC & transparency mode • Exceptional pre-tuned EQ, plus full customisation • Supremely comfortable, foldable, with intuitive physical controls. The Lows • Companion app is occasionally unstable • ANC disabled when using a wired connection • Transparency mode works, but voices sound slightly unnatural • Sound quality varies noticeably across different connection settings (see note below) • Lacks auto-turn on/off when removing and putting back on the headphone A Note on Settings. In my experience, sound quality ranks roughly as follows, best to worst: 1. LDAC wireless via Android with ANC on (using a Xiaomi Redmi Tablet2) 2. Wired via DAC dock to Hi-Res Lossless iPhone 17 3. Lossless iPhone via standard wireless (Lossless resolution doesn’t transmit over Bluetooth, but it still sounds better turned on) 4. Wired connection to Android. This ranking likely reflects the headphone’s finely tuned hardware interacting differently with iOS vs. Android and various Hi-Res audio implementations. Bottom Line The sound is more than superb for my tastes. The ¥7,500–¥15,000 cost increased tier offers incremental improvements that don’t justify the jump for me. If I had ¥30,000–¥40,000 more to spend, I’d go straight to audiophile-grade — but at this price, nothing comes close.

Headphones were very comfortable and fit well Noise cancelling worked very well too Overall a good option to consider when buying headphones

Great wireless headset, the sound block feature is a little TOO good. It completely blocks sound and the music quality is amazing

The sound quality is 8/10, ANC is 9/10, battery life is INSANE 11/10, and I'm normally someone who has to take out earbuds after 30 mins or take off over ear headphones after about an hour, but these are EXTREMELY comfortable and I have worn them for about 4 hours before I have to take a break. Comfort 9/10. Unbeatable for the price.
