Our favorite budget ANC headphones just got even more affordable
Whether you're wanting to start studying a language, determine if now is the right time to start that business, or just want to finish the chapter in whatever book your eReader is holding, silence is power. ANC, or Active Noise Cancelation, can help you get it. Even without music pumping into your ears the headphones pick up the surrounding sounds in your area and feed you the opposite waves, canceling out the noise. But the best noise-canceling headphones are typically quite expensive, with premium pairs easily costing $250 or more. If you need some bonus focus but don't have that kind of money lying around for headphones, you'll need to browse through budget headphones instead. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram that cross budget and quality ANC is incredibly narrow, leaving you few choices. One of choices, and our favorite among budget picks, is even more of a clear pick today — it's on sale. Tap the button below to see the 1More SonoFlow at a price of just $60, which is $15 down from their usual $75, or keep reading to see why we think they're the budget ANC headphones for you. Why you should buy the 1More SonoFlow Our 1More SonoFlow review covers a lot of great aspects of the headphones — their excellent sound quality, extreme comfort, 50-70 hour battery life, and great app control among them — but, let's face it, if you're still reading you're mostly interested in their ANC capability. Our review says that they do an exceptional job at blocking out the everyday noise (and, importantly, voices) you'll hear around the house. The low-frequency flups, bumps, bops, and taps that are the staples of flow-breaking, progress defeating noises are filtered out effectively. In other words, if you're in a typical environment and you have typical noise sensitivity, you're going to like the 1More SonoFlow. We're extremely happy seeing the 1More SonoFlow go from the usual $75 price to just $60, a savings of $15 off of already incredibly affordable headphones with great ability.

Budget SonoFlow HQ31 Wireless Headphones Now With Hi-Res Certification
The new SonoFlow SE HQ31 headphones from 1More are shipping now and offer a considerable lift in specifications from their predecessor. The new wireless headphones use the latest Bluetooth 5.4 protocols and have large 40mm drivers with titanium-coated composite diaphragms that 1MORE says offer a balanced sound signature that's warm and detailed right across the frequency range. Pitched as audiophile-grade listening, the SonoFlow SE HQ31 are certified for Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Wireless thanks to support for the Hi-Res LDAC codec with a bandwidth of up to 40 kHz. The headphones also include a dozen customizable EQ presets that users can access through the 1MORE app. The EQ presets can be fine-tuned to suit the listener's preference. Another advanced feature is Spatial Audio Technology which expands the soundstage and delivers an immersive 3D effect which is popular for movies, music and gaming. The SonoFlow SE HQ31 headphones are also equipped with 1MORE's QuietMax hybrid active noise cancellation. This form of ANC can reduce unwanted ambient noise by over 42dB for fewer distractions when listening to music. For a little more versatility, the new headphones also have a Transparency Mode that enables users to stay aware of their surroundings without the need to remove the headphones. This makes listening to conversations, travel announcements or staying alert in outdoor settings possible without taking the headphones off. Thanks to four dual AI-enhanced microphones with Deep Neural Network noise reduction, the headphones can filter out unwanted background noises during phone calls or video calls for better clarity, making the HQ31 suitable for making work calls, joining online meetings and taking part in voice chats, even in busy environments. With up to 90 hours of continuous playback time with the ANC turned off, the HQ31 manages an extra 20 hours compared to the previous HQ30 model. The SonoFlow SE HQ31 can play music for up to four days on a single charge and if the user needs a quick power boost, a five-minute fast charge can provide an additional five hours of playback time. The HQ31 headphones can also work in wired mode using the included 3.5mm aux cable. The kit also includes a USB-C charging cable and carry case. Combining a lightweight frame with slow-rebound ear cushions and an adjustable headband, 1MORE says the SonoFlow SE HQ31 offer a snug and breathable fit that's suitable for extended listening sessions. The new SonoFlow SE HQ31 wireless ANC Hi-Res headphones are available in four colorways: White, Blue, Pink and Black from 1MORE's official website or Amazon. The price is $39.99 / £59.99 / €55.99.

1More's budget-friendly ANC headphones get hi-res audio and more battery life
1More has just released its latest ultra-affordable set of noise-canceling headphones and, as we've become accustomed to, it's managed to pack even more features for the same price. The SonoFlow SE HQ31 cost $60 — the same price as the SonoFlow SE HQ30 — and add wired/wireless hi-res audio compatibility, spatial audio, a claimed up-to-90 hour battery life, better noise cancellation, and wired connection options. They comes in four different colors and you can buy them right now on Amazon. Buy at Amazon The design has also undergone an evolution. Instead of the sharply defined edges of previous SonoFlow models, like the original version and the Pro HQ51, the HQ31 features rounded countours, making them look a little more like Soundcore's Life series of wireless headphones. They still fold up and fold flat, but you won't get a travel case or pouch. In the box, you'll find the headphones and two cables: USB-A to USB-C for charging and USB audio, and a USB-C to 3.5mm cable for analog wired connections. In terms of convenience, this is the biggest upgrade over the HQ30, which only supported wireless audio via Bluetooth. Like the SonoFlow Pro HQ51, the HQ31 is hi-res audio capable. That means the drivers are able to reproduce high frequencies up to 40kHz. They also support Sony's LDAC Bluetooth codec, which (under ideal conditions) will transmit up to 24-bit/96kHz hi-res audio from a compatible Android phone to the headphones (iPhones aren't compatible with LDAC). 1More says it has improved the capability of its QuietMax noise cancellation tech in the HQ31, with up to 42dB of noise suppression for certain frequencies. The claimed battery life on the HQ30 was already very impressive at up to 70 hours with ANC off (50 hours with it on), and the HQ31 bumps this up even further, with up to 90 hours of non-ANC, non-LDAC life. With ANC, that drops to 60 hours. 1More hasn't told us how much of a hit battery life takes when you use LDAC, but in our experience you can expect up to 30% less playtime. Finally, the HQ31 also add 1More's spatial audio mode, that creates a wider soundstage, for a more immersive listening experience. 1More's official regular price on the SonoFlow SE HQ31 is $60, however Amazon has priced them at $50 an at the moment, it's offering a 20% off instant coupon, making these wireless cans just $40.
