If you're looking for earbuds with greater sound quality, especially for music and gaming, the 1More Triple Driver may be a better choice; however, they do not have wireless capabilities, and you'd be managing a cable. They also do not offer active noise cancelling. On the other hand, if you prefer wireless convenience and features like an app equalizer, the Moondrop Nekocake may suit you despite them having a marginally lower sound quality. They are additionally optimized for both Android and Apple devices and offer active noise cancelling, which can be useful for noise isolation, especially while traveling or in noisy environments. Keep in mind that the Moondrop Nekocake is often less expensive than the 1More Triple Driver, so if budget is a concern, they might be the more economical choice. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
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."

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
