If you prioritize high sound quality for immersive music listening, the HifiMan Sundara, with its excellent soundstage and overall very good sound, is the superior choice; however, they require an amplifier for best performance and have a poor microphone, making them not ideal for calls. On the other hand, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra offers unique features like heart rate monitoring and built-in storage for music, and although they have lower overall sound quality, they are very good for calls and come with a very good microphone. The Sundara doesn't support wireless and is less portable due to its size, while the Terra is more versatile, suitable for exercise with bone conduction technology, and allows you to remain aware of your surroundings. Choose Sundara if you’re an audiophile, or Terra if you value features and versatility for fitness and outdoor activities. Give Feedback
