The 1More Triple Driver earbuds are a more budget-friendly option and have a wired connection, which is suitable for those who prefer not to worry about battery life. They offer decent sound quality and are especially comfortable, making them good for long listening sessions. However, there's no active noise cancelling and they're not optimized for exercise. The Sony WF1000XM4, on the other hand, are premium wireless earbuds with superior overall sound quality and active noise cancelling, ideal for air travel and noise isolation. They come with an app that provides an equalizer and controls customization, are sweatproof, and have good battery life with the convenience of wireless charging, but they are more expensive. If budget is a concern and you don't mind wires, opt for the 1More Triple Driver. If you prioritize sound quality, portability, and features like noise cancelling and app integration, the Sony WF1000XM4 may be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Adam Molina | April 2022
"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."
