If you value comfort, noise isolation, and are planning to use them for air travel, the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones with their active noise canceling feature and excellent build quality would be a great investment despite the higher price. However, if you're on a budget and primarily interested in listening to music or gaming without the need for wireless connectivity, the 1More Triple Driver earbuds with their best-in-class comfort and very good overall sound quality would make a sensible, more affordable choice. Keep in mind the earbuds are more portable and exercise-friendly too, although they lack the wireless feature and noise cancellation offered by the Bose. Give Feedback

"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."

"The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are a credible step up from previous Bose ANC headphones, and they're built to hang tough with the competition for years into the future. No waterproofing is a bit of a letdown, but these headphones have the technical chops to make most quite happy."
