If you want earbuds that are great for music and provide a solid wired connection, the 1More Triple Driver is a good choice, especially considering their lower price point. They offer a high comfort score and are suitable for long listening sessions. However, if you prefer headphones for air travel and are looking for active noise cancelling, the Soundcore Space Q45 may justify the higher cost. The Q45 headphones also provide longer battery life for wireless listening and feature an app equalizer for sound customization, which the 1More lacks. Keep in mind that the 1More might be a better pick for intensive gaming due to their higher gaming score. 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."
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
