If you prioritize cost savings and prefer a more traditional over-ear headphone experience with active noise cancelling for focused listening, go for the Beats Solo 3. However, if you're willing to invest more for unique features like bone conduction technology, heart rate and fitness tracking, and a design that's optimized for exercise and outdoor activities, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra would be the better choice, but note that they may offer poorer sound quality comparatively. The Beats have an advantage in battery life with over 40 hours of typical use, while the Mojawa's battery life is 8 hours, but take longer to charge. The Mojawa offers app controls customization and is sweatproof, making them more suitable for active users. Give Feedback
