The 1More Triple Driver earbuds offer a higher overall sound quality and better build quality than the JBL Quantum 100 headphones, with particularly strong performance in gaming audio. However, the JBL Quantum 100 comes with a superior microphone which may be better for calls and meetings, and it boasts a higher score for book and podcast listening. The 1More Triple Driver is better for comfort, music listening, and portability but lacks wireless functionality which the JBL does not offer either. Choose the 1More for a generally higher quality audio experience and the JBL for better call audio and lower cost. Give Feedback

The 1More Triple Driver has very good build quality, while the JBL Quantum 100 has only fair 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."
"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
