If you're on a budget and primarily need headphones for listening to music, the JBL 510BT could serve you well, but it may not be comfortable for extended use and the sound quality is just fair. If you need high-quality calls and a very good built-in mic, are planning to exercise with your headphones, or prefer bone conduction technology, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra, while more expensive, offers these features along with better resistance to sweat and dust, as well as additional health tracking capabilities. Neither is ideal for TV due to their latency and both have similar battery life, but only the JBL 510BT offers wireless charging. Give Feedback

"The JBL Tune 510BT is affordable and compact, making it a great companion for a commute, so long as you don't need active noise canceling. If you wear glasses or have ear piercings, the on-ear design might not be comfortable, since the ear cups will squish your ears."
