The 1More Triple Driver earbuds offer great sound quality at a lower price and come with a cable, which can be reassuring if you're wary of battery life or losing wireless earbuds, whereas the Apple AirPods Pro 2 are significantly more expensive but provide features like active noise cancellation, wireless convenience, better battery performance, and spatial audio that can greatly enhance the listening experience, especially for Apple device users. If budget is a constraint and you prefer wired earbuds, Triple Drivers are a solid choice; but if you're after the latest technology and use an Apple device, the AirPods Pro 2 might be worth the extra cost.

The Apple Airpods Pro 2 has excellent build quality, while the 1More Triple Driver has very good build quality.
"For under $99 USD this has a good sound that, when paired with the build quality and design, makes for a solid pair of everyday buds. Should you get them? If you’re tired of buying cheap earbuds and want to treat yourself to something a little nicer, I say go for it."
"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."
