If price is a major concern and you want good overall sound quality for music with a classic on-ear open design, the Koss Porta Pro (with mic) would be suitable, especially considering they are much more affordable. However, they lack wireless capability and have poor noise isolation, which might not be ideal for noisy environments or exercise. The Mojawa HaptiFit Terra, on the other hand, offers wireless convenience, additional health tracking features with its sensors, and bone conduction technology which is great for staying aware of your surroundings while exercising, but they have a higher price and lower sound quality. If you frequently make calls, the Terra's superior mic quality could also be beneficial. Give Feedback
