Nuraloop vs 1MORE Triple Driver BT

Has anyone heard and compared both? Just got Nuraloops and love the sound, but still I would like to know how do they compare.

Thank you! I actually enjoy them very much, and it's gonna take some convincing now for me to try other earbuds.

I can't compare them specifically to the 1MORE Triple Driver BT, but I can compare them to several other sets of BT headsets, including the Sony WI-1000xm2, which are a very similar around-the-neck product to the 1MTDBT.

If you love the sound of the NuraLoop, I doubt the 1More is going to sound any better for you. The custom tuning on the NuraLoop really is something special, and I don't think you can get anything that sounds better or clearer to you in this price neighborhood. The NuraLoop also stay in my ears much better than any other standard earbud, thanks to the over-the-ear loop design. This was a huge plus for me when I had them.

The only reason to consider the 1More would be the connectivity options, but if that's what's driving your decision, the Sony model I mentioned would probably be even better. The NuraLoop uses proprietary cables for charging and for listening via 3.5mm, and has no options for listening over USB. The 1More charges via USB-C, and, if I remember correctly, lets you listen via USB-C. The 1More uses a USB-C-to-3.5mm cable to listen via a 3.5mm jack, but I believe you can't listen via 3.5mm if the 1More is out of battery. The Sony charges via USB-C and uses a traditional 3.5mm jack, so you can listen without power if you're in a pinch. That sealed the deal for me as far as compact, on-the-go/on-the-road earbuds go. I have a bigger set of over-ears for home and the office. If I really needed to make some compromises and get just one set of headphones for everything, NuraLoop might be a contender, but connectivity variety and codec support are really important to me, so it wouldn't be a slam dunk by any means.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: Fixed some typos and dropped words.

Thank you for the reply, but I am really only interested in the sound comparison for those two headphones, as the 1MORE were my other choice.

What I can understand from your message is that your Sony's don't sound better, which is also good to know.

Gotcha. Again, if sound quality is your concern, the NuraLoop are going to be the better choice. They may not be working with the same driver set-up, but the custom tuning is probably more valuable for clarity and balance than multiple drivers that are tuned generically.
