If you're budget-conscious and looking for very good overall sound quality for music and a reliable earbud for calls, the JBL Tune Flex might suit you better, especially since they're significantly less expensive. They offer a low latency mode for gaming and watching videos, and their stemmed design has a built-in mic which, although not the highest quality, may suffice for casual use. Conversely, if you're interested in a premium headphone design for fitness activities with unique features like a heart rate monitor, accelerometer, and local music storage, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra stands out. They have a bone conduction design, which means they rest on your cheekbones, leaving your ears open to ambient sound, beneficial for situational awareness during exercises. However, they do not provide the sound isolation or quality that the JBL Tune Flex offers. Additionally, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra is optimized for calls and meetings with very good mic quality and has more specialized fitness-tracking features, which might justify the higher price if these features align with your needs.

"JBL is offering a similar design and arguably better resolution than the more expensive AirPods 3rd Generation. Add to that a comfortable and versatile fit, an equalizer and pretty decent ANC, and you’ve got a quality wireless earphone. I would have loved longer battery life and more crystal calls, but for the price, you can’t complain. A solid deal overall."
