If affordability is a priority and you're looking for a wired option with a boom mic primarily for gaming and TV, the JBL Quantum 100 is suitable as it has very good gaming audio. However, for a premium price, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra provides a unique bone conduction open design suitable for exercise with features like heart rate monitoring, on-board storage, and dust and sweat resistance. The Terra is also better for calls and comes with a companion app for customization, but its overall sound quality is considered poorer compared to traditional headphones. Give Feedback

"I appreciate a functional piece of tech as much as I do gear on the bleeding edge, and the JBL Quantum 100 certainly falls in the former category. The sound is reasonably good, the built-in microphone is surprisingly reliable and it has a thoughtful design for the price. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, sure, but sometimes it’s nice not to have to worry about the finicky nature of wireless communication and go with good old hard-wired tech."
