If you're on a budget and prefer wired earbuds, the 1More Triple Driver offers good sound quality and excellent comfort at a lower price point. They do not, however, support wireless connectivity or active noise cancelling, and their suitability for exercise is poor. In contrast, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX are premium wireless earbuds that provide excellent sound quality, outstanding noise isolation, and come with active noise cancelling, making them suitable for air travel and use in noisy environments. They also support advanced codecs like AptX Adaptive for better wireless sound quality, feature a longer battery life with wireless charging, and are optimized for both Android and Apple systems. However, they are significantly more expensive and may not be ideal for gaming due to the potential for latency issues. 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."

"If you’ve wanted truly wireless headphones, but couldn’t pick them up because they sound terrible, these will be the headphones that win you over. If you’re the kind of person who would consider spending $400 on headphones, these are the right truly wireless headphones for you."
