For a detailed listening experience and excellent sound isolation, the Etymotic ER2SE could be a great choice, especially if budget is a concern; however, if you require a microphone and will be using them for calls or meetings, their mic quality is low. The Mojawa HaptiFit Terra, while more costly, offers very good call quality and is sweat and dustproof, making it ideal for exercise. They also have added features like heart rate monitoring and a companion app for workout analysis, but their overall sound quality is poor, which might affect the enjoyment of music. If you plan to use your device mainly for active purposes and can afford the premium price, Mojawa could be suitable, but for focused music listening at a lower cost, go for Etymotic. Give Feedback

"Etymotic isn’t playing around: it takes audio seriously and has mastered the art of the noise-isolation earphone. Sure, the fit of the earbuds looks silly but it’s a signature Etymotic thing and could be considered charming by some. If you’re looking for best-in-class audio for a realistic price, the ER2SE is it."
