Design
The RP-DH1200 has better overall design than the Triqiis. The Triqiis seem to be made out of pretty cheap materials: the two ear cups didn’t fit uniformly on our head because the band was warped.

Frequency Response
The RP-DH1200s have a steep falloff around 5kHz. The Triqiis might not be perfect, but they are dynamic to the point where it’s detrimental for audio quality.

Distortion
The Triqiis have crazy insane bass distortion, due to their foam pads. Foam padding doesn’t form any kind of seal with your head, which typically results in bass distortion, as seen in the graph below.

Tracking
The Triqiis had a much more even tracking.

Isolation
The Triqiis really don’t isolate at all: foam padding is basically the wost material for creating a decent isolating seal.

Comfort
The Triqiis’ padding is a bit coarse, but nothing that should upset you. They’re a lightweight set of headphones that stay put but don’t squish your head. The RP-DH1200s are very, very tight.

Verdict
The Triqiis have a lot of bass distortion, but they have a better overall frequency response. The Triqiis are definitely the better budget pair, but we’re not sure the RP-DH1200s really fit the bill for the “this costs more and offers better quality” archetype. If you’re interested in the RP-DH1200s, you probably don’t mind a bit of a hit to audio quality. If that’s the case, the Triqiis are just a better choice.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
