If you engage in regular exercise and are interested in additional health metrics like heart rate, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra would be ideal as it's designed for active use, is sweatproof, dustproof, and includes fitness tracking features. However, its bone conduction technology typically delivers poorer sound quality compared to traditional headphones. On the other hand, the Sony WH-CH520 is more budget-friendly and provides a more conventional listening experience with better overall sound quality and excellent comfort. It's better suited for long listening sessions and is also optimized for phone calls and meetings. The Sony's built-in virtual surround sound makes it suitable for immersive TV and gaming experiences. However, they are not designed for exercise and lack the fitness and health tracking features of the Mojawa. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Christian Thomas | September 2023
"If you’re looking for headphones that simply do what you ask them to: the Sony WH-CH520 is a decent option, even if it isn’t very exciting. Sony’s WH-CHXXX line fits this role quite well, and the WH-CH520 offers a decent raft of quality-of-life updates over its predecessor that should keep listeners happy. If the Sony WH-CH520 were a car, it’d be the boring-but-safe commuter compact."
