If you prioritize budget and enjoy rocking out, the Marshall Major IV is an excellent option with its robust build quality and great music sound quality; however, it falls short for calls, gaming, and TV due to poor scoring in those areas. On the other hand, if fitness and tech integrations are key for you, consider investing in the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra, despite the higher price. They offer unique health-tracking features and are optimized for exercise, but don't expect the best sound quality, particularly for music listening, given their lower rating in that department.

"The Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
