If you prioritize a lower price point and are okay with wired earbuds, the 1More Triple Driver may be suitable as it offers high sound quality for less money. However, if you value wireless convenience, active noise cancellation, and seamless integration with Apple products, the Apple AirPods Pro would be the better choice despite the higher cost. The AirPods Pro also provide spatial audio, a feature that enhances the listening experience for compatible content, which the 1More Triple Driver lacks. Keep in mind that the AirPods Pro's battery dependency means they require charging, unlike the 1More earbuds that are always ready for use as long as your device has a compatible port. Give Feedback

Build Quality

9.0/10
The Apple Airpods Pro has excellent build quality, while the 1More Triple Driver has very good build quality.
"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."
"For just $50 USD more than the original model with the wireless charging case, this is definitely the pair of buds to get. The AirPods Pro (1st generation) sounds better than the originals and has a way better fit and active noise canceling to boot. If you have an iOS device, just get this."
