If audio quality is paramount, especially for music and TV, the Focal Bathys provide an excellent sound with active noise cancelling to immerse you in your content. However, they are costlier and less portable. On the other hand, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra offers very good call quality and extra health tracking features, making them a better choice if you're active and need headphones that can withstand sweat and dust. The tradeoff is that they have a poorer sound quality, and they lack noise cancellation. Both have app support for customization, but if you're budget-conscious and need fitness functionality, go for the Mojawa. If sound and immersion are your priorities, choose the Focal Bathys, keeping in mind the need for battery power even in wired mode. Give Feedback
