Choosing between the 1More Triple Driver and HifiMan Arya Stealth depends largely on what you value in audio gear. The 1More Triple Driver earbuds are significantly less expensive and offer good overall sound quality with a closed enclosure, which provides passive noise isolation. They are portable, have a built-in mic which is suitable for calls and are wired only. The HifiMan Arya Stealth headphones, on the other hand, are more expensive, provide superior sound quality with an open-back design, and are generally more comfortable. However, they are not portable, lack a microphone, and their open design does not isolate noise as effectively. If you prioritize exceptional audio for home listening, Arya Stealth is an excellent choice; if you want a versatile, affordable option good for calls, commuting, and casual use, the Triple Drivers are a sound pick.

The HifiMan Arya Stealth 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."
"The Arya can easily be end-game headphones for 99% of consumers, satisfying most audio desires. Priced well above USD$1000, the Arya are obviously and gloriously not for the mass market consumer; they are designed and built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – especially those who view their expenses on this level of gear as investments."
