The Bowers and Wilkins PI7 earbuds provide active noise cancelling and superior noise isolation for quieter environments and air travel, plus they support a low latency codec making them good for TV and video. They also offer very good build and mic quality with an integrated mic, although their overall sound quality is poorer. They're suitable for exercise with sweatproof certification and have wireless charging for convenience, but they're not the best for music or calls and meetings.
In contrast, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra headphones, typically less expensive, utilize bone conduction technology, allowing for situational awareness, which is good for use during exercise and outdoor activities. They also support AAC codec and are sweatproof and dustproof certified, though like the PI7, their overall sound quality is poorer. Notably, they lack active noise cancelling and are less portable, but they offer health tracking features like a heart rate monitor and accelerometer, plus 32GB of local storage for music, features absent in the PI7.
