The Creative Labs Zen Air earbuds are a budget-friendly choice with good overall sound quality and excellent build quality; they're suitable for casual music listening, air travel, and have an app equalizer for customization. However, they are not recommended for calls, gaming, or TV due to poor scoring in those areas and lack active noise cancelling. On the other hand, Mojawa HaptiFit Terra headphones offer a unique bone conduction design and are great for exercise and outdoor activities given their sweat and dustproof features. They provide very good call quality and have sensors to track your workout, but they might not offer the best sound quality for immersive music experiences. If cost is a concern and you want a solid build with customizable sound for daily use, go for Zen Air. If you're an active user looking for headphones to complement workout routines with additional health tracking features, despite a higher price, the HaptiFit Terra could be the better option.

"The Creative Zen Air’s weak points are its low battery life and rather short Bluetooth range. On the other hand, the strengths of these weatherproof True Wireless in-Ears are the sound and the wide attenuation of the Active Noise Cancellation. Considering the price range, the speech intelligibility during calls is also exceptionally good."
