Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)
1More SonoFlow
✓
Apple AirPods Max ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
1More SonoFlow allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Apple AirPods Max too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Apple AirPods Max ✓
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The 1More SonoFlow sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Apple AirPods Max isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Lowest Frequency
1More SonoFlow
20Hz
Apple AirPods Max 20Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. 1More SonoFlow's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Apple AirPods Max's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
1More SonoFlow
20,000Hz
Apple AirPods Max 20,000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through. 1More SonoFlow's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Apple AirPods Max's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level

✗
Apple AirPods Max 109dB/mW
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Apple AirPods Max's measurement is 109dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Driver Unit Size
1More SonoFlow
40mm
Apple AirPods Max 40mm
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. 1More SonoFlow driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Apple AirPods Max driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making both Apple AirPods Max, and 1More SonoFlow similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Impedance
1More SonoFlow
32Ohms
Apple AirPods Max 47Ohms
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. 1More SonoFlow's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Apple AirPods Max's impedance is 47Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
1More SonoFlow
✗
Apple AirPods Max ✓
Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Apple AirPods Max have this type of magnet.
