Our Verdict
1More Triple Driver
Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless
The 1More Triple Driver in-ear headphones and the Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are very different. The 1More in-ears are more portable and sound very neutral. They’re a bit more comfortable than typical in-ears and are decently well-built. On the other hand, the Sony’s over-ear design is more comfortable, and their sound profile is a bit more bass-heavy, although the XM3 are compatible with the Sony app that allows you to customize their sound signature thanks to an EQ. They also have an excellent ANC feature to block out ambient noise surrounding you, which is great when commuting.
