If you prioritize wired listening and exceptional comfort for long sessions, the 1More Triple Driver is a great choice; however, it's not suitable for exercise or travel due to the lack of features like sweat resistance and active noise cancelling. On the other hand, the JBL Tune Flex offers wireless convenience, low latency for video and gaming, as well as sweat resistance, making it better for active use and commuting. Both are good for music, but the JBL Tune Flex may be more versatile overall due to these additional features. Keep in mind, the 1More has better call quality, so if phone calls are a priority, that could sway your decision. 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."
"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
