If you frequently make calls or need a microphone for content creation, the Rode NTH-100M with its superior mic quality would suit you best. Those seeking better portability and use during exercise may prefer the 1More Triple Driver earbuds as they're lighter and less bulky. For immersive music listening, Rode headphones offer a slightly better overall sound quality. However, if budget is a primary concern, the 1More Triple Driver will provide good music listening and comfort at a significantly lower cost. Neither option supports wireless connectivity, so consider whether that's a crucial feature for your needs. Give Feedback
