I purchased both the Q45 and the 1MORE. I put them through a lot of real world tests and honestly, I couldn’t justify paying $150 for the Q45 when the 1MORE was only $80. For me, It came down to budgeting, and being practical. The ANC on both are just ok. That isn’t something I’d put a lot of thought into when making a decision between these two. Although the ANC on the Q45 is slightly better and so is the overall sound. But it’s not $70 better. At that price you could buy two 1MORE’s and come out ahead. If your budget is a major concern here, there’s no question, the 1MORE is absolutely the better purchase at $80. If these both came in at $150 I’d recommend the Q45 without a doubt. I hope this helps someone that’s stuck choosing between these two headphones. You can’t lose with either of them. But if money is of concern, you know what to do.
so it's kinda region dependent, bcs in my country, these headphones are less than $15 apart, which considering the Soundcore is basically better in most part, makes a no brainer kinda deal
@@ezrapardede1921 if they are less than $15 apart, I’d definitely go with the Q45. The 1More was on sale for $80 when I purchased them so it made more sense to save the extra money. I think it comes down to saving money. The Q45 is definitely a better set of headphones. But if you’re talking difference in price, I can’t justify spending an extra $50 or more for them. They’re just too close in quality to pay that much more. I’d pay $15 more for the Q45 but that’s about it.
I used to be a Bose fanatic thru the 90s, 00s and 10s. Was later won over by Sony with their XM3 and XM4, but in the last few years I've been seeking lower costing options to meet my 2 main criteria; noise cancellation and comfort. Sonoflows are pretty decent for their price, but I find the Q45s to be sublime for a few dollars more. When I wear them for music listening, watching TV, or just seeking peace and quiet, they deliver in spades. Very impressive, all around.
If you like the Q45s, you will probably be interested in looking into the new Souncore Space One's. They're similar in nearly every aspect. Thinner ear cups, but softer headband, LDAC support, but what sets them apart in my reckonings are that they have wear detection so that they pause when you take them off, and are $50.00 cheaper. I paid $150.00 for Studio Beats 3, but when black friday comes around here in a couple months, I plan on getting the Space One's. Do your research. DHRME has an excellent comparison video between the two.
@@junkmail6776 I've been auditioning the Space One for the last few days. Decent for the price, light and comfortable, but not in the same class as the Q45. To me, $50 is worth the upgrade for a near-premium headset. The Q45 almost stand up to the $500 Sony and Bose models. I would position the Space One more as an alternative to the Q30 or maybe the Q35. There's alot to like about the feature-rich Space One, but the build is clearly cheaper and the sound is thinner with a narrower soundstage. No hard case, either. My advise to you is try them yourself before buying in. WAAAY too much hype surrounding this model.
I really want to get them but their Amazon reviews are on the low end for me (4 stars) which isn't objectively bad, but some of the customer reviews worry me.
@@blainegoodwin6365 I tell you that it has enough bass with the custom eq but it's not mind blowing. This pair of headphones is really balanced and for this price point you can't beat it. I've heard that the q35 has a more punchy bass. I would go for those instead if you want bass
Do you move around when using the Q45? Whenever I shake/tilt my head or in a bumpy commute, the bass increases and decreases like a bad subwoofer due to the change in air pressure. Maybe I have a dud but it's very annoying.
I've tried a few 1more products. Their sound is good, but definitely use more volume on the piston buds pro. Their ANC is excellent. 1more is so close to great, but I'd still pick Soundcore over 1more because of the lackluster app
Yep, lackluster app. I just purchased the Soundcore Life Q35, and the sound is just awesome compared to Sonoflow, which I was using before the new purchase.
When you talked about sound, I was sold. I bought the momentum3 and gave it to my son, returned the xm3's. These are a keeper for me. The mids do not sound like they are locked up in a closet. TY for the video.
Great comparison, in depth. It's great to see you include an environmental consideration as well as all the other usual things for headphones. I'm not going for either of these as I already have Bose nc700 and Edifier stax Spirit s3. The Edifier sounds much better however the Bose wins out easily for ease of use, single button presses, usability generally. So, I use the Edifier if I'm just listening to music (though prefer my iems over these). But use Bose if I'm making calls, doing other things or just don't want the hassle of the Edifier subpar app and buttons. It's made me realise how important usability is with headphones, especially as I can get better audio quality at a lower price with IEMs (7hz Zero at £20 is astonishing for the price).
Is the sub bass more noticable on 1more than the Q45? I have the Q45 but planning on returning them and trying the 1more for sound quality and sub bass.
Thank you for these quality reviews, not to mention your entertaining presentation, I love it!! Ive been looking for a pair of cheaper and good value for money ANC headphones, im a student so it was important to get a pair that were good but not insanely expensive. I was going to go for the SoundCore headphones but the 1Mores were on sale for only £65, I got so lucky since the sale was ending in an hour. Thanks again :))
Thank you for this video! Would you recommend buying Q45 now if I can get them for about $130? I’m looking for greatly sounding over-ear headphones with good enough ANC, and these seem to match my needs. But maybe there have appeared some better options 5 months later that you would recommend over Q45?
Best review for headset I’ve seen so far Not only the opinions but showing the best test results to support your arguments made me take a decision on what to buy
Regarding the thumbnail and your long and even short term health: Consider adjusting your neck and general posture to prevent a pain or worse in your neck. It takes consistent effort to remind yourself to correct when you notice it.
I bought the soundcore q45 and the past week I’ve been listening to them. At 85-95% volume all the time and with noise cancelling on. And they still have a charge. They sounds amazing and they’re built pretty well for a headphone in my eyes. Nothing to me says they cheaped out. So far I have zero complaints about anything. The fit perfect, they sound perfect, they feel quality and they look good on your head. They’re a little wide but over all this is a very very quality product and worth the money even at $200. I got them for $150 on sale.
Do you move around when using the Q45? Whenever I shake my head or in a bumpy commute, the bass increases and decreases like a bad subwoofer due to the change in air pressure. Maybe I have a dud but it's very annoying. It happens to some extent on some other ANC headphones but not as extreme. I am kinda disappointed by the SonoFlow as well even though it just got an update with custom EQ. Even with the EQ I can't boost the treble much at all.
Look I got the q45 there decent overall but you look at their price and their insane the feature are all decent they do it's job the sound is okay but by using a custom eq you quickly find out vast the range of these headphones overall when compared without price in consideration it's a 7/10 on consumer scale with price in perspective it's about a 8-9/10
I spent many hours running through vocals wearing headphones. They need to be comfortable and the ear-cups NEED TO BE DURABLE. Most ear-cups gradually break down and have to be replaced. They also become moist and uncomfortable, so I prefer fabric cups like some Bayer or AKG studio headphones which CAN BE SWAPPED OUT and replaced easily. I have been disappointed in most Bluetooth headphones, because they fail to get these basic issues right. A 30 hour battery isn't helpful if you feel horrible wearing them after just 30 minutes.
I am looking for a new headset and this definitely helps. I was really thinking of getting the Q45 but then I saw the SonoFlow yesterday and was interested in that. For me ANC is very very important, so I was a bit sad to see the performance of these 2 headsets in your review. Honestly, what would you recommend? ANC + mid-volume music would be good enough to cancel most things with either headset? Or should I go with sony's even tho they are plenty more expensive?
I want to buy headphones that have a good battery, excellent noise cancellation and good sound that is suitable for a long time and for activities such as the gym. I am debating between the 1MORE Space 1 and the Q45, which do you think is better and which is the best [I would like two answers, one considering the price and one without]
I saw the videos and I don't know because it's important for me to have headphones that I can use in the gym and on a daily basis and I saw that they say that the Q45 is not good for single fitness and that it heats up quickly and from the preferred option it has dropped even though I still want it the 1MORE looks good but I'm afraid it won't give me good performance because I'm buying headphones that I want to give the best quality and to last a long time and I'm debating whether it's worth buying the Sony already and I wanted to ask I saw that the Q45 is being sold on Ali Express for $80 is it original because many people say yes I'd love to hear from you and I love your content you deserve much more Exposure you are the best@@DHRME

Hi, thanks guys for you great channel and reviews, QQ for you. I'm in a quandry now. I got the Space Q45, and I got the Phillips H9505 (same price $99 USD black Friday sale). I love the clarity of the Q45 and it seems like the ANC is better. I also like that the Q45 already had a firmware update. That said, H9505s are really rich sounding and maybe a bit more comfortable, but the highs are not as clear (but maybe a bigger sound stage). Do you have a preference for one or the other and why is that? Thanks.
My first ever Bluetooth headphones were 1More's MK802! They were quite good for the price but despite being marketed as over-ear they were practically on-ear for my ears as the earcups were so small. I just picked up the Sonoflows a few days ago. The ANC is better than my Q30 (which isn't that good to begin with) but the transparency mode is worse with more hissing and I can barely hear myself talking, though still good enough to carry a conversation. The bass is tighter and less boomy and mids clearer than the Q30 but both can be a tad splashy in the treble. Sadly you can't use ANC with a wired connection (as with the later versions of the Q30) and the multipoint connection only remembers the last-connected device the next time I power them on. Overall it is a good sidegrade but not upgrade so I am still considering the Q45s
@@simos672 I returned the Sonoflows because I didn't find them worth the price. If you want a dark sound then go for the Sonoflows if you want good transparency mode and EQ get the Q30.
@@simos672lol u r the same as me Im too don't know what to choose between them 😂 I was planning to buy the q30 until I saw the price of the 1more on AliExpress now I'm back to square one 😂
I'm worry about sound quality in 1more and Soundcore, i see today in ebay a second hand used Sony XM3 123us prices, what's the best choice in this case "Sound Quality" not ANC featuring.
I've got the Q45's ... The one quality I want in my music is sound separation. I wish soundcore could have done that a bit more. In fact it's vital for quality listening. The EQ will require careful listening to get a tighter tuning. R&B works best for me. But mostly it's the sound separation that needs to happen. All the tweaks and whistles are great! .. What do you guys think, more 3D sound quality needed?
I have the Sono’s great set of headphones. I hate the buttons. But no more than The connectivity. I have to turn the headphones off to switch between my devices and sometimes I have to turn Bluetooth off on one device for it to connect to the other. This may not be Sono’s fault as I’m in the apple ecosystem heavy. I love the battery life and sound. Comfy ear cuffs are a plus.
What's the target curve you're using for the frequency response chart? Is the sound different when using wired? Do you need an amp in wired mode? Amazing review as always.
@@omegavladosovich6757 Thank you! That's odd about wired mode. I've had Bluetooth headphones that sound awful in wired when not turned on; fine when they are (but this drains battery). I also have the AKG Y50BT which sounds the same wired even though it turns off. Never heard of one that can't be powered on wired, but sounds somewhat different. "Warmer and boomier" is definitely not my preferred EQ.
@@warmlycalculated390 some Soundcore Q30 units can't be used with ANC powered on. These shipped with Firmware 2.3 while older units only got 2.1. Anker claimed that the chipset manufacturer disabled active wired usage to improve Bluetooth stability, but some users suggest there was a hardware change. I suspect the SonoFlow uses a similar chipset (possibly from Bestechnic) but has LDAC. Usually the better the ANC the worse passive mode sounds as they depend more on the internal amplifier and DSP equalization to sound good on top of the microphone array used for ANC. ANC headphones that sound the same passive or active generally have worse ANC. I tried the Audio-Technical SR50BT and it was like this.
@@omegavladosovich6757 I'm looking for cheap basic throw around budget headphones with Wired ANC mode (with internal amp) i tried Q35 but they needed EQ'ing and had some latency issues even in wired mode i've never had that problem so i got q20 but looks like they removed the feature via factory firmware update as they're not internally powered. 1More has been crossed off as no anc in wired mode so i'm left with Q45 to try and hope there's no latency.
@@omegavladosovich6757 Oh wow this makes sense with the q20 saga as i had intially purchased after reading they did support it but not the newer batch which is what i have so i assumed they done firmware update in factory as part of refurbishment process.
Oh em gee!! One of the best review,i just watched the video while waiting for my Soundcore Q45 . Now i am much more excited for it to get delivered to me ❤️😍 Kudos!
I got my Q45s a few days ago and tried using the Bass Boost Issue. When I switch the toggle, I feel the instant hit of the bass, and its surprisingly good. Now I have run into a few issues: 1- As soon as I turn the volume down and back up the bass doesn't come back to the same level. After turning the volume up and down, if I go in the app and again turn the bass boost on and off I again find the base to increase. 2- When I change songs, I run into the same issue and have to go in the app to turn the Bass Boost on and off to feel that extra punch. Wanted to ask everyone if I have got a faulty piece or is this how it is supposed to work? I am still in warranty and get a replacement/money back.
@@sonitasom2532 As now a owner of these, I can also confirm that it solved the issue and they sound better over time once they break in like many people suggested. Super product for the price.
@@DHRME I know anker q10 is old but its for bass heads not sure if you've already done a review or if you cater for bass head community. If they don't bring out followup to the bass head signature say q10 2 then could you please review the q10 black version (the red one has slightly sharp and mistimed/long cut off on treble frequency/causes fatigue after long usage)
I tried the Sonoflow and had to return it. The ANC is really bad and as a commuter that is important to me. And although 1More now gives you the option to fully EQ the headphones in the App they never sounded great in my opinion. Thinking about trying the Q45. Or going straight for the XM5 or Momentum 4. Thanks for your reviews, they're really great. It's always informative, funny and interesting. Keep up the good work!
@@DHRME thank you! Maybe you can help me a little bit though. If the XM5s ANC is a 10/10, how good is the ANC on the Momentum 4 and in comparison the ANC on the older PXC 550-II?
The ANC on the Sony's which I have the Model's Xm3 and Xm4 blow the cheaper models away on voice and high end noise which , besides the great sound, is what I bought them for in the first place. Therefore, you lost me at that point. Thanks for the video. It confirms that you get what you pay for ..... and I'm very happy that I paid for the Sonys.
Based on your preview video for the Sonoflow I marked the release date in my calendar, which is today. Before this day, I did not saw them listet on Amazon in Germany, so I searched for them today in the morning. And what to say: They were listed including a discount of 20 Euros. So I ordered them today for 79,99 Euros and they will arrive tomorrow. I am very excited and hopefully they are as good as I expect. I know that 1More is not everytime the best sounding quality. I love their Comfobuds Pro and the Evo, but I don't like their Colorbuds or some of their wired in ears with. So, lets wait and see. Thanks for your review!
1More makes a very good product at unbeatable prices, but 1More has always had this serious problem of releasing its products with missing software options (there, for example, a real integrated equalizer), which means that even when the options are added, the bad 1st impression is already imprinted in people's minds.
@@DHRME Never buy a product expecting it to improve with updates. And above all 1More has already proven that they are able to bring out the same product with another color for a higher price just to add the new software options without adding them to the already existing products which nevertheless have the same hardware.
Man, I can't even consider the q45. The sonoflow in canada cost around 100(with $25 coupon). While the Q45 is 200. Thats a $100 extra. Is it worth that much more in all honesty? I'm not a bass head type of person.
@@andrescarrera6955 There's like practically no treble on the Sonoflow and the headband is very creaky. Q45 has better treble extension and better build quality. However I noticed with ANC on, the ear pressure causes the bass to jump up and down in response to my head rocking around, which is extremely annoying on bumpy commutes. The Sonoflow doesn't have this issue.
I am so pissed my XM3's I bought a bit under 3 years ago just gave out. Refuse to charge. Were not mishandled. Sony's build quality is questionable for that kind of money. I have older cheaper headphones that were used more and still work fine. Ofcourse because of sound quality im probably going to go get me some q45's. At least when those break I wont be as pissed but hopefully they will last longer then my xm3's did.
I totally agree that it sounds the trebles artifitially when listening to music with Q45. The most fatal drawback I couldn't get used to from these headphones was to make sound that wasn't hard even with the EQ setting, including the low punched bass sound.
Anyone who has had the SonoFlow for about year could tell me how the earcups are holding up? I've had mine for about a week but I'm already thinking how long they will last... 😅
@@tayyabjawad Using them, it's been less than a week, only. However, I searched a lot and before, I was considering a soundcore option but the SonoFlow offers a better value for the money. So far so could, I'd say.

I spent many hours running through vocals wearing headphones. They need to be comfortable and the ear-cups NEED TO BE DURABLE. Most ear-cups gradually break down and have to be replaced. They also become moist and uncomfortable, so I prefer fabric cups like some Bayer or AKG studio headphones which CAN BE SWAPPED OUT and replaced easily. I have been disappointed in most Bluetooth headphones, because they fail to get these basic issues right. A 30 hour battery isn't helpful if you feel horrible wearing them after just 30 minutes.
I want the q45s for christmas...the sonoflows look sweet too, thanks....
Watching this ‘cause I literally just bought the sonoflow just to see if I made the right choice
Should compare with the JBL 760NC as they are in the same price range.
Yo, when are the Q45s coming to India and other countries?!!
Someone please gimme some inference on how it works/ when it will.
Thanks
Hello! Would you know if the earpads on the Sonoflow are replaceable? Would appreciate any response. Thank you!
Appreciate you guys for the effort to make a complete review..
Салам алейкум, что лучше Anker Q45 или 1more sonoflow?
I am looking for a new headset and this definitely helps. I was really thinking of getting the Q45 but then I saw the SonoFlow yesterday and was interested in that. For me ANC is very very important, so I was a bit sad to see the performance of these 2 headsets in your review.
Honestly, what would you recommend? ANC + mid-volume music would be good enough to cancel most things with either headset? Or should I go with sony's even tho they are plenty more expensive?
When you add a bit of music, the outside world definitely gets drowned out much more.
I want to buy headphones that have a good battery, excellent noise cancellation and good sound that is suitable for a long time and for activities such as the gym. I am debating between the 1MORE Space 1 and the Q45, which do you think is better and which is the best [I would like two answers, one considering the price and one without]
We compared those two headphones in another video 😉
I saw the videos and I don't know because it's important for me to have headphones that I can use in the gym and on a daily basis and I saw that they say that the Q45 is not good for single fitness and that it heats up quickly and from the preferred option it has dropped even though I still want it the 1MORE looks good but I'm afraid it won't give me good performance because I'm buying headphones that I want to give the best quality and to last a long time and I'm debating whether it's worth buying the Sony already and I wanted to ask I saw that the Q45 is being sold on Ali Express for $80 is it original because many people say yes I'd love to hear from you and I love your content you deserve much more Exposure you are the best@@DHRME
@@DHRMEAs someone who has used Q45 Are they suitable for physical activity mainly gym
Did you mean the soundcore Space One?
Bought after watching this video, 1more sonoflo is one of the best.
1 more sonoflo is on sale from their site for 65.00 .. and there you go, Also the new software is fully customizeable with EQ presets you can program yourself
I bought the 1more and the sound is acceptable, but anc doesn't do it for me I just had to return them. DO you guys think the Q45 will do it?

Thanks for the great reviews, I snagged the q45 on Black Friday special.
Q45 are the winner for me, you won't regret!
At the moment, do you prefer the XM5 or the Momentum 4?
Such a underrated channel
I'm the 400 like just because you guys grew so much in this years and also was amazing idea for the vs...
Thank you Kaue. 👊🏾👊🏾
Oh damn. The big boys are definitely in for a tough time with Soundcore and 1More leveling up with the price to performance ratio. Definitely gonna try the Sono.
Another solid video, guys. :)
These are interesting times for the ANC headphones market!
@DHRME sure as hell are. The good part is, consumers win. :)

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I really liked, comprehensive but concise and mor important, objective. New subscriber here fro now on
Thanks Alfredo! And welcome to the channel 🙏
Wich one is the best for wind noise while listening to music , i have an older pair of sony’s and the wind noise is horrible to the point id rather not use them outside .
Just stumbled ON this channel,great reviews. SUBSCRIBED.
Thanks for subbing and er... membering!
@@DHRME er..... Thanks 😊
Are the earpads replaceable on Q45!?
Hi, thanks guys for you great channel and reviews, QQ for you. I'm in a quandry now. I got the Space Q45, and I got the Phillips H9505 (same price $99 USD black Friday sale). I love the clarity of the Q45 and it seems like the ANC is better. I also like that the Q45 already had a firmware update. That said, H9505s are really rich sounding and maybe a bit more comfortable, but the highs are not as clear (but maybe a bigger sound stage). Do you have a preference for one or the other and why is that? Thanks.
Haven't tested the Philip, John.
My first ever Bluetooth headphones were 1More's MK802! They were quite good for the price but despite being marketed as over-ear they were practically on-ear for my ears as the earcups were so small.
I just picked up the Sonoflows a few days ago. The ANC is better than my Q30 (which isn't that good to begin with) but the transparency mode is worse with more hissing and I can barely hear myself talking, though still good enough to carry a conversation. The bass is tighter and less boomy and mids clearer than the Q30 but both can be a tad splashy in the treble. Sadly you can't use ANC with a wired connection (as with the later versions of the Q30) and the multipoint connection only remembers the last-connected device the next time I power them on. Overall it is a good sidegrade but not upgrade so I am still considering the Q45s
Can i ask what to get from sonoflow and q30 they’re both 60$ from where i live
@@simos672 I returned the Sonoflows because I didn't find them worth the price. If you want a dark sound then go for the Sonoflows if you want good transparency mode and EQ get the Q30.
@@simos672lol u r the same as me Im too don't know what to choose between them 😂 I was planning to buy the q30 until I saw the price of the 1more on AliExpress now I'm back to square one 😂
Which one do you recommend between 1more and jbl760nc? Is sound and and way better on jbl?
I'm worry about sound quality in 1more and Soundcore, i see today in ebay a second hand used Sony XM3 123us prices, what's the best choice in this case "Sound Quality" not ANC featuring.
btw nobooody speaks about wind noise, just you guys... is my top 3 concern about ear buds/headphones here in Germany
Haha we have to bike, so we speak about it. 😅
Interesting vid. Hadn't paid much attention to 1more's headphones yet.
The power button of the SonoFlow seems easy to access from your left hand.
This is a very thorough, very good comparison/review. Gr8 work dudes.
Thanks to you, the JooJooMan!
Guys, would be awesome a review of the new Bose QC earbuds 2. Thanks for all the content!
I've got the Q45's ... The one quality I want in my music is sound separation. I wish soundcore could have done that a bit more. In fact it's vital for quality listening. The EQ will require careful listening to get a tighter tuning. R&B works best for me. But mostly it's the sound separation that needs to happen.
All the tweaks and whistles are great! .. What do you guys think, more 3D sound quality needed?
Agree - but the fact that we get this at this price point is a big deal!
How come 1More earbuds have Bluetooth 5.0 protocol and compare very well with all these earbuds that already have 5.2?
im a student, im trying to find a cheap anc headphone for good music and good noise cancelling. so which should i pick?
I have the Sono’s great set of headphones. I hate the buttons. But no more than The connectivity. I have to turn the headphones off to switch between my devices and sometimes I have to turn Bluetooth off on one device for it to connect to the other. This may not be Sono’s fault as I’m in the apple ecosystem heavy. I love the battery life and sound. Comfy ear cuffs are a plus.
Curious how a mid tier option like this compares to similar offerings from Sony Wh-Ch710N that go for similar price. Any thoughts?
Hey guys! Thanks for good and interesting reviews. Just subscribed. Greetings from Groningen :)
Greetings!
Please, soundcore q35 sound quality is good as q45? It's only a difference on bases?
Truly appreciate the detailed research bro
💞
Great job, undoubtedly...
What's the target curve you're using for the frequency response chart? Is the sound different when using wired? Do you need an amp in wired mode? Amazing review as always.
They sound warmer and more boomy in wired mode, not too terrible but sadly you can't use ANC so this means they are not internally amplified.
@@omegavladosovich6757 Thank you! That's odd about wired mode. I've had Bluetooth headphones that sound awful in wired when not turned on; fine when they are (but this drains battery). I also have the AKG Y50BT which sounds the same wired even though it turns off. Never heard of one that can't be powered on wired, but sounds somewhat different. "Warmer and boomier" is definitely not my preferred EQ.
@@warmlycalculated390 some Soundcore Q30 units can't be used with ANC powered on. These shipped with Firmware 2.3 while older units only got 2.1. Anker claimed that the chipset manufacturer disabled active wired usage to improve Bluetooth stability, but some users suggest there was a hardware change. I suspect the SonoFlow uses a similar chipset (possibly from Bestechnic) but has LDAC.
Usually the better the ANC the worse passive mode sounds as they depend more on the internal amplifier and DSP equalization to sound good on top of the microphone array used for ANC. ANC headphones that sound the same passive or active generally have worse ANC. I tried the Audio-Technical SR50BT and it was like this.
@@omegavladosovich6757 I'm looking for cheap basic throw around budget headphones with Wired ANC mode (with internal amp) i tried Q35 but they needed EQ'ing and had some latency issues even in wired mode i've never had that problem so i got q20 but looks like they removed the feature via factory firmware update as they're not internally powered. 1More has been crossed off as no anc in wired mode so i'm left with Q45 to try and hope there's no latency.
@@omegavladosovich6757 Oh wow this makes sense with the q20 saga as i had intially purchased after reading they did support it but not the newer batch which is what i have so i assumed they done firmware update in factory as part of refurbishment process.
which one is betrer q45 or sony wh-xb910n. please suggest?
appreciate your honest reviews.
And I see what you did there with popsicle, icicle, and testi...ng.

I yesterday bought sundcore q45
Is really good in that price range . Thanks for your honest review . Love you buddy🤍
And what about between the Q30 and the 1MORE?
Firstly, keep up the good work guys. You guys ace it🔥
Secondly, can you do a video on the v-moda crossfade 3 wireless please?😊
They have custom eq not any changes in opinion on the sound??
Oh em gee!! One of the best review,i just watched the video while waiting for my Soundcore Q45 . Now i am much more excited for it to get delivered to me ❤️😍
Kudos!
How are you finding the Q45's if I may ask?
I got my Q45s a few days ago and tried using the Bass Boost Issue.
When I switch the toggle, I feel the instant hit of the bass, and its surprisingly good. Now I have run into a few issues:
1- As soon as I turn the volume down and back up the bass doesn't come back to the same level. After turning the volume up and down, if I go in the app and again turn the bass boost on and off I again find the base to increase.
2- When I change songs, I run into the same issue and have to go in the app to turn the Bass Boost on and off to feel that extra punch.
Wanted to ask everyone if I have got a faulty piece or is this how it is supposed to work? I am still in warranty and get a replacement/money back.
I don't own these yet, but I've seen similar comments, and the solution is just to update the firmware through their app. Hope that helps!
did it get better?
@@sonitasom2532 Yes, the firmware update resolved it.
@@sonitasom2532 As now a owner of these, I can also confirm that it solved the issue and they sound better over time once they break in like many people suggested. Super product for the price.
Witch one is the Loudest??
Ooo this is a must watch as confused between xm5 and new soundcore
Yeah now I got wait a little closer to Christmas to make sure nobody else surprises me
We feel you! The headphones market is on 🔥🔥🔥
@@DHRME I know anker q10 is old but its for bass heads not sure if you've already done a review or if you cater for bass head community. If they don't bring out followup to the bass head signature say q10 2 then could you please review the q10 black version (the red one has slightly sharp and mistimed/long cut off on treble frequency/causes fatigue after long usage)
I tried the Sonoflow and had to return it. The ANC is really bad and as a commuter that is important to me. And although 1More now gives you the option to fully EQ the headphones in the App they never sounded great in my opinion.
Thinking about trying the Q45. Or going straight for the XM5 or Momentum 4. Thanks for your reviews, they're really great. It's always informative, funny and interesting. Keep up the good work!
Thank you and good luck on your search!
@@DHRME thank you! Maybe you can help me a little bit though. If the XM5s ANC is a 10/10, how good is the ANC on the Momentum 4 and in comparison the ANC on the older PXC 550-II?
@@Findus_ According to RTINGS, XM5 is 9.4, PXC is 8.0, and Momentum 4 is 7.6
The ANC on the Sony's which I have the Model's Xm3 and Xm4 blow the cheaper models away on voice and high end noise which , besides the great sound, is what I bought them for in the first place. Therefore, you lost me at that point. Thanks for the video. It confirms that you get what you pay for ..... and I'm very happy that I paid for the Sonys.
Excited for this video! 🎧
🙏
and between the sonoflow and the q30 and q35?
I have the q20 and the 1more but I found the 1more to lack volume and ANC cancelation
watching this and listening through SonoFlow )))
Based on your preview video for the Sonoflow I marked the release date in my calendar, which is today. Before this day, I did not saw them listet on Amazon in Germany, so I searched for them today in the morning. And what to say: They were listed including a discount of 20 Euros. So I ordered them today for 79,99 Euros and they will arrive tomorrow.
I am very excited and hopefully they are as good as I expect. I know that 1More is not everytime the best sounding quality. I love their Comfobuds Pro and the Evo, but I don't like their Colorbuds or some of their wired in ears with. So, lets wait and see.
Thanks for your review!
How do you find it?
So,did you like sonoflow?
THANKS FOR A VERY NICE ANALYSIS👌
Thanks for your review
Why is branding a minus? The branding of sonoflow looks great
It's a minus because the logo has the same position as sony's

Is Manoj night shyamalan your brother ?
1More makes a very good product at unbeatable prices, but 1More has always had this serious problem of releasing its products with missing software options (there, for example, a real integrated equalizer), which means that even when the options are added, the bad 1st impression is already imprinted in people's minds.
Hey Rolex! :)
Maybe now people expect them to update their products!
@@DHRME Never buy a product expecting it to improve with updates.
And above all 1More has already proven that they are able to bring out the same product with another color for a higher price just to add the new software options without adding them to the already existing products which nevertheless have the same hardware.
@@rolins3279 Exactly, but software aside, their product really stands out in terms of SQ and ANC, I have 1more triple driver and Comfobuds Pro
Man, I can't even consider the q45. The sonoflow in canada cost around 100(with $25 coupon). While the Q45 is 200. Thats a $100 extra. Is it worth that much more in all honesty? I'm not a bass head type of person.
I think at that difference, the Sonoflow is a great choice!
@@DHRME Only thing I saw that was competing was the sc q30/q35. I haven't had any of the sound core headphones. No competition or you recommend those?
@@mukaluka1 if you like mids, get the sonoflow. If bass is what you like, get the q35
@@andrescarrera6955 There's like practically no treble on the Sonoflow and the headband is very creaky. Q45 has better treble extension and better build quality. However I noticed with ANC on, the ear pressure causes the bass to jump up and down in response to my head rocking around, which is extremely annoying on bumpy commutes. The Sonoflow doesn't have this issue.
I am so pissed my XM3's I bought a bit under 3 years ago just gave out. Refuse to charge. Were not mishandled. Sony's build quality is questionable for that kind of money. I have older cheaper headphones that were used more and still work fine.
Ofcourse because of sound quality im probably going to go get me some q45's. At least when those break I wont be as pissed but hopefully they will last longer then my xm3's did.
Sonoflow or souncore q30/35?
When will you review the Airpods Pro 2?
Once we get it!
I am really sceptical if you hear that one is using LDAC. Compressed audio, bluetooth...really?
We were too. But after a few years we sorta can. Especially in the higher frequencies. It doesn't make crap headphone sound great or anything though.
@@DHRME Umm now ii am going to miss my heapdhpnes don't have LDAC 🙂

C'mon man, don't knock on the door if you don't want to be opened 😜🤣🤣
I totally agree that it sounds the trebles artifitially when listening to music with Q45. The most fatal drawback I couldn't get used to from these headphones was to make sound that wasn't hard even with the EQ setting, including the low punched bass sound.
everytime i hear the microphone tests i expect a "test test testicle"
I expect you to say pop, pop, popsicle, ice, ice, iceacle, test, test, testicle.
I really cannot stand the look of Q45 so I went with 1more and I got it for 1/2 of the price of the Q45.
Anyone who has had the SonoFlow for about year could tell me how the earcups are holding up? I've had mine for about a week but I'm already thinking how long they will last... 😅

@@tayyabjawad Using them, it's been less than a week, only. However, I searched a lot and before, I was considering a soundcore option but the SonoFlow offers a better value for the money. So far so could, I'd say.
