Short answer: the Final Audio E3000, though neither ranks well in its class. Both are rated 2.6/5 for sound quality (#64 and #63 of 68 in-ear headphones), and the Final Audio E3000 costs $46.60 against $69.99 for the 1MORE Triple Driver, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 68 in-ear headphones, and the Truthear x Crinacle Zero RED, ranked #3 at $64.99, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
What the 1MORE Triple Driver does well: A hybrid design with 1 dynamic and 2 balanced armature drivers, plus a built-in microphone for calls. Watch for: A preference score of 57 and a 3.28 dB deviation from the target put the tonal balance among the weaker in its class.
What the Final Audio E3000 does well: Bass at 60 to 200 Hz sits about 5.5 dB above the Harman target in oratory1990’s measurement, and the low mids are lifted about 3.2 dB, giving a warm, full and weighty sound. The tradeoff: The strong bass and low mid lift can muddy vocals, and presence from 3 to 6 kHz is down about 3 dB with a 3.7 dB dip near 4.5 kHz, so voices lack clarity.
Buy the Final Audio E3000. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $23.39 less than the 1MORE Triple Driver.

The Two Headphones In Full
1MORE Triple Driver: $69.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A hybrid design with 1 dynamic and 2 balanced armature drivers, plus a built-in microphone for calls. It was released in 2017 and the 32 ohm impedance suits a phone or portable player. Crinacle measured a mild warm tilt of about 0.8 dB.
Cons: A preference score of 57 and a 3.28 dB deviation from the target put the tonal balance among the weaker in its class. Sensitivity of 99 dB is on the low side, so it needs more volume than most earphones. The KZ AS10 and Sennheiser CX 3.00 are rated higher, and the Shure SE215 is higher still.

Final Audio E3000: $46.60 Amazon eBay
Pros: Bass at 60 to 200 Hz sits about 5.5 dB above the Harman target in oratory1990’s measurement, and the low mids are lifted about 3.2 dB, giving a warm, full and weighty sound. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is only 1.6 dB over target, so highs stay fairly gentle and non-fatiguing. The single 6.4mm dynamic driver is easy to drive at 16 ohms and 100 dB/mW, and the price is low.
Cons: The strong bass and low mid lift can muddy vocals, and presence from 3 to 6 kHz is down about 3 dB with a 3.7 dB dip near 4.5 kHz, so voices lack clarity. A preference score of 57 with a 3.4 dB deviation shows the balance is far from target. The KZ AS10, KZ DQ6S and SoundMAGIC E50C are all rated higher.
