The 1More Triple Driver earbuds are known for their precise sound quality and deep bass, making them great for music enthusiasts who prioritize audio fidelity. However, they are in-ear, which can be uncomfortable for prolonged use for some. The Sennheiser HD 400S are over-ear headphones, offering comfort for extended listening and a broader soundstage for an immersive experience, but the sound may not be as detailed in the highs and lows. The HD 400S may also be better suited for home use, given their size, while the 1More, being portable, is better for commuting. If you make calls often, check if your preferred choice includes a microphone, as not all models do. Consider your primary use — for superior audio while stationary, the Sennheiser might be best; for on-the-go use with high-quality audio, the 1More could be the right choice, if you're willing to pay a bit more and prefer in-ear comfort.

"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."
"Sennheiser has done it again. The HD 400S performs well beyond its price range and is one of the better budget model headphones I’ve tried. It has very few bells and whistles and offers a simple means of listening that still delivers amazing clarity and quality. If you need a good first pair of headphones or need something that you can take out of the house, then the HD 400S is definitely for you."
