If you're looking for a cost-effective option and prioritize call quality and versatility, the JLab JBuds Work Wireless is a good fit with its excellent mic and the ability to use wired or wireless. However, if you're interested in innovative features such as health tracking and built-in storage for music, and need something suitable for exercise, sweatproof, and with bone conduction technology, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra may justify the higher cost. Keep in mind that bone conduction headphones generally offer poorer sound quality but allow you to maintain awareness of your surroundings, which is beneficial for outdoor activities. Give Feedback

How the JLab JBuds Work Wireless and the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra compare to other earbuds and headphones
"The JLab JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
