If you're on a budget, the Audio Technica ATH M40X offers very good overall sound quality, especially for music and TV, and has a very good build quality, at a lower price than the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra. However, they lack wireless connectivity, are not optimized for exercise as they do not have features like sweatproof certification, and have poor built-in controls and mic quality. The Mojawa HaptiFit Terra is significantly more expensive but provides advanced features like heart rate monitoring, local storage for music, and bone conduction technology, which are great for exercise and outdoor use, though they compromise on sound quality. Additionally, the Terra is optimized for use with both Android and Apple devices and offers advanced app control customizations. Consider how each model aligns with your priorities, such as sound quality versus tech features and budget constraints. Give Feedback
