If you prioritize sound quality and a more immersive listening experience, the 1More Triple Driver earbuds are a better choice, but they're wired and don't feature wireless connectivity, which limits their convenience. They also have a high comfort score. On the other hand, "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick offers a reliable wireless experience with a decent sound quality, better microphone quality for calls, and is optimized for both Android and Apple devices. It features an open enclosure type, which means less noise isolation compared to the 1More Triple Drivers. Additionally, the Nothing Ear Stick supports a low latency mode which is beneficial for gaming or watching videos. However, if you're looking for active noise canceling or high noise isolation, neither of these options would be ideal. 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."

Sound Guys
Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
