If you prioritize comfort and build quality, the 1More Triple Driver earbuds are a strong choice as they offer best-in-class comfort and very good build quality. However, they're more expensive and not suitable for exercise due to not being sweatproof. On the other hand, if you want to save money and need good noise isolation, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS may appeal to you, while still delivering good comfort and excellent build quality. Both earbuds are wired and do not offer active noise cancelling, but the 1More's sound quality is superior for music and gaming despite its poor performance for calls and meetings. Neither are particularly optimized for TV and video due to latency issues. The choice between these depends on whether you value comfort and music listening experience over cost savings and noise isolation. 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."
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
