If you prioritize heart rate monitoring and fitness tracking during exercise, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra with its bone conduction technology and health sensors would be ideal, although it comes at a premium price and offers poorer sound quality. Conversely, the Sony MDREX15AP offers better sound quality for music and TV at a budget price, but with inferior microphone quality and no fitness tracking capabilities. The Mojawa is also wireless and sweatproof, making it more suitable for active use, while the Sony requires a wired connection and lacks these exercise-focused features. Consider the Mojawa if you need a workout companion and the Sony for more casual, budget-friendly listening. Give Feedback

"At the ultra budget $10 price-point (and we’ve seen the no-mic version go for as cheap as $7), I’d say these are a decent option if you’re looking for a passable pair of earbuds for basic use that’s as cheap as possible. I wouldn’t say they feel or sound as good as some of the ultra-budget alternatives out there – of which there are a few at this point – but some might disagree. I will say though that the cable is a little bit nicer than those of that same competition."
