If sound quality is a top priority, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds outperform the 1More Triple Driver earbuds with better overall performance in music listening. However, if you prioritize value for money, the 1More is significantly less expensive and still delivers good sound and comfort. The Bose offers active noise canceling and is designed for varying use cases including exercise and air travel, whereas the 1More lacks these features. The Bose supports wireless connectivity and has an app that allows equalizer customization, features the 1More lacks; yet, the 1More has a wired connection that can be advantageous for zero latency needs.

"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."

"Bose put the time in to fix the major issues with the previous earbuds, and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are very befitting of its price point. While you might be tempted to save a few bucks and go with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II on sale, fight the urge. There are enough upgrades here to justify the newer model."
