If you prioritize sound quality and are willing to invest in higher-end earbuds, the 1More Triple Drivers provide superior audio with three drivers that enhance clarity and bass response, making them suitable for music enthusiasts. However, the Skullcandy Dime 2 might be a better choice if you are looking for something more affordable that still offers essential features like Bluetooth connectivity and a microphone for calls. Keep in mind the Skullcandy Dime 2 may not match the sound fidelity of the 1More but are more budget-friendly and offer a compact design for easy portability. 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."

"With the low price, it’s a low-risk investment. The Dime 2 is a decent set of backup buds for those times when you don’t want to risk your more upscale buds. If it weren’t for the lackluster battery life, I’d say everyone should have a pair as a spare for music."
