If you prioritize affordability and portability, the 1More Triple Driver earbuds are a great choice and cost significantly less than the Rode NTH-100. They score high in overall sound quality and comfort, which makes them excellent for music listening on the go. However, they are not ideal for exercise due to lower scores in use during exercise and lack of sweatproofing. If you prefer over-ear headphones and require a detachable cable or plan to use them for long periods due to their comfort, then the Rode NTH-100 headphones may be better suited for you, though they come at a higher price. Both have good sound quality for music, but neither are specifically optimized for gaming or TV due to latency issues. 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 NTH-100M is a closed-back headset aimed at professional audiophiles—streamers, podcasters and content creators included—looking for masterful audio and a detachable 'broadcast-grade' microphone."
