The 1More Triple Driver earbuds are wired with a reputation for comfort and excellent build quality, making them well-suited for long music sessions and TV, but they aren't optimal for exercise due to lack of sweatproofing and aren't convenient for travel without wireless capability. Conversely, the JBL Tune Buds are wireless, offering more freedom and better suitability for exercise and travel, along with features like sweatproofing and a dustproof certification, but they may not provide the same sound quality for music and TV, and their integrated microphone quality is only fair, which might not be ideal for calls. The 1More earbuds have a greater focus on sound for music and gaming, yet lack in features such as active noise cancelling and app-based customization that the JBL offers, which could enhance your listening experience, particularly in noisy environments or when tailoring sound to your preferences.

Adam Molina | April 2022
"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."

Tim Gideon | September 2023
"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
