If you prioritize overall sound quality and are okay with a higher price, the 1More Triple Driver is a strong contender; it excels in comfort and has a better build, with good controls and a microphone. However, if you're on a budget, the Sony MDREX15AP earbuds offer very good comfort and excellent performance for TV and video, at a lower cost. Note, neither option supports wireless audio, but if watching videos or gaming is important to you, you might prefer the Sony due to lower latency. Neither pair has active noise cancelling, so they may not be ideal for noisy environments like air travel. If calls and meetings are a priority though, the 1More Triple Driver might be better despite its higher price. 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."

Make It Sound Great
Pete Anthony | June 2022
"At the ultra budget $10 price-point (and we’ve seen the no-mic version go for as cheap as $7), I’d say these are a decent option if you’re looking for a passable pair of earbuds for basic use that’s as cheap as possible. I wouldn’t say they feel or sound as good as some of the ultra-budget alternatives out there – of which there are a few at this point – but some might disagree. I will say though that the cable is a little bit nicer than those of that same competition."
