If you're on a tight budget and mostly listen to music in quiet environments, the Koss KSC75 offers very good sound for its price, but it lacks modern features like a microphone and wireless connectivity. On the other hand, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra is more expensive but provides features like active noise cancelling, sweatproof certification, app equalizer, and a bone conduction design which is suitable for calls, meetings, and outdoor exercises where situational awareness is key. If you value tech integration and use headphones for varied activities, the Mojawa might be worth the investment despite its higher cost. Give Feedback

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
