The 1More Triple Driver earbuds offer excellent comfort, strong build quality, and come with a wired connection, which can be important if you require consistent sound quality without the potential interference of wireless connections. They are a great choice for music and gaming due to their high scores in those areas, but their lower scores for calls and meetings, as well as exercise use, suggest they might not be the best for those specific activities. The Marshall Major IV headphones, on the other hand, boast better overall sound quality and microphone quality, making them ideal for calls and meetings, as well as for long listening sessions because of superior battery life with wireless capabilities. However, they are less portable and not as suitable for exercise. If on-ear comfort and wireless convenience are priorities, along with extended listening without charging, the Marshall Major IV might be a better option despite being somewhat more expensive.

"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 Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
