If you're on a budget and need earbuds for casual listening and exercise, the JBL Tune Buds would be a better choice as they're less expensive and have a good portability and comfort score, with decent sound quality for music. They also support AAC codec for better audio on Apple devices and are sweatproof, which is great for workouts. However, for a premium, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra offers unique features like bone conduction technology, which allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, and includes health-tracking capabilities which could enhance workout sessions. They are better suited for calls and meetings with very good mic quality and also provide local storage for music. Keep in mind though, their sound quality is not as good as traditional headphones or earbuds, so if audio fidelity is important to you, they might not be the best option. Give Feedback

"JBL’s Tune Buds stick with the company’s signature bass-heavy sound by default, but a quality in-app EQ lets you sculpt the audio to taste. These noise-cancelling true wireless earphones also mitigate environmental distractions fairly well for the price and offer good battery life. If you're specifically seeking bold, bass-tuned audio out of the box, the Tune Buds are worth a listen."
