The 1More SonoFlow have a weight of 250g, these weigh below 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends. One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source. Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, OneOdio Studio Wireless C are one of those.
With a detachable cable, 1More SonoFlow too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking.
IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two numerals The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Scoring IPX5, the 1More SonoFlow's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C are foldable, which makes them more portable. Foldable headphones are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
The 1More SonoFlow too can fold up, foldable headphones can reduce their size by 60% to 70% when folded.
Twisted headphone cables can be a great source of annoyance and inconvenience, OneOdio Studio Wireless C's cable is designed to minimize tangling. Constant twisting of the cables can also lead to microfractures in the copper wires, affecting sound quality, or
completely damaging your headphones.
1More SonoFlow too have a cable designed to help prevent tangles.
By sweat resistance we mean that the wireless earbuds are protected in the presence of low-pressure water jets at any angle, this is determined by the IP Rating of the earbuds. Based on the ingress protection rating of the 1More SonoFlow they do have sweat resistance
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement, but remember that every cable based on the conducting material used has a certain amount of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. How much depends on the length and construction. 1More SonoFlow comes with a 1.2meters cable.
Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear OneOdio Studio Wireless C have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears. This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors.
1More SonoFlow with this design offer potential for maximum bass and loudness levels.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C have stereo speakers, what this means is that OneOdio Studio Wireless C's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The 1More SonoFlow also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. 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 zero 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.
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out.
The OneOdio Studio Wireless C 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 1More SonoFlow isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an 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.
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. 1More SonoFlow's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
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 a way of getting 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, OneOdio Studio Wireless C's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. OneOdio Studio Wireless C driver unit is 50mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
1More SonoFlow driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OneOdio Studio Wireless C by 10mm
, as many tend to believe 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 deliver better sound.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a wire, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. OneOdio Studio Wireless C's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
1More SonoFlow's impedance is 32Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The OneOdio Studio Wireless C have this type of magnet.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. OneOdio Studio Wireless C's battery life is 110 hours
1More SonoFlow's battery life is 70 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your device, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 1.3 hours to fully charge the 1More SonoFlow's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your headphones.
1More SonoFlow too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your headphones, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C's battery power is 1000mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
1More SonoFlow's battery power is 720mAh.
A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C's battery can be recharged and used over again.
The 1More SonoFlow too have a rechargeable battery.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
The 1More SonoFlow also can be used wirelessly
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. OneOdio Studio Wireless C has a v5.2
1More SonoFlow has a Bluetooth version of v5. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More SonoFlow support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power on a single cable. The USB-C plug is now part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets, it features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
1More SonoFlow support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high-resolution audio.
1More SonoFlow support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The OneOdio Studio Wireless C can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
The 1More SonoFlow can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth
Being an industry standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there. All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor.
1More SonoFlow too have this kind of connector
1More SonoFlow have only 5 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
1More SonoFlow use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
1More SonoFlow support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic.
1More SonoFlow have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
1More SonoFlow support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
There is a control panel on the OneOdio Studio Wireless C body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
The 1More SonoFlow too have a control panel on them.
OneOdio Studio Wireless C can be used as a headset.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
1More SonoFlow can be used as a headset. since they have a built-in microphone
Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. The 1More SonoFlow come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
