If you prioritize noise isolation and want a device for air travel that offers excellent overall sound quality and is well-suited for exercise, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II would be the better choice as they provide superior noise cancellation and portability. However, they aren't ideal for calls, gaming, or TV due to poorer performance scores in these areas. On the other hand, if you need headphones for calls and meetings or are interested in health tracking features, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra offers very good mic quality and integrates health sensors, though it compromises on sound quality and noise isolation. The Mojawa is also bone conduction, which means you'll still hear your surroundings – beneficial for situational awareness but not for an immersive audio experience. Give Feedback

"Bose’s flagship wireless earbuds were never going to be cheap, but the question was whether they’d be competitive in an area of the market where rivals have never been more capable. The fact that the company has not only managed to implement a successful redesign, but also push the envelope for noise-cancelling and sound quality in such a highly competitive category simultaneously is truly impressive."
