The 1More Triple Driver earbuds are a great choice if you're looking for a portable, comfortable option with a lower price, especially if you need a built-in microphone for calls. They offer good sound quality for music and are decent for gaming. However, the AKG K712 Pro headphones, while more expensive, provide superior overall and soundstage quality, which can be ideal for an immersive experience in music, TV, and video. The open design of the AKG lacks noise isolation, making them less suited for noisy environments or air travel, but they offer a more expansive sound and are comfortable for long listening sessions. Keep in mind that the AKG K712 Pro does not have a built-in mic or controls and is less portable due to its larger size. 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."
"AKG has created a mini-masterpiece in my opinion. I enjoy this headphone a great deal and it will become my go-to reference headphone for the time being. She is slick, sexy, well-balanced, and crazy comfortable."
