If you prioritize high-quality sound for music and convenience features like touch controls on the charging case and active noise cancelling, the JBL Live Flex 3 earbuds would suit you better, especially if you also want a pair that's better for exercise. However, if you need headphones for calls and meetings, gaming, TV, and video where microphone quality and haptic feedback are important, and you're interested in health tracking features like heart rate monitoring, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra headphones are the better option. Keep in mind that the JBL is somewhat less expensive and the Mojawa offers unique bone conduction technology, but may compromise on overall sound quality. Give Feedback
