If you are on a budget and want a pair of headphones that could assist with your fitness activities by tracking heart rate and providing workout analysis, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra would be a suitable choice. They are bone conduction headphones, which means they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings, beneficial for outdoor exercise. However, they offer poor overall sound quality and sound isolation. The Thieaudio Monarch Mk II, while more expensive, delivers best-in-class music quality and might be better for critical listening sessions. They are also better for a passive noise isolation experience, suitable for a quiet environment. Yet they lack the fitness tracking and situational awareness features of the Mojawa and are not optimized for calls, meetings, or exercise. Give Feedback

How the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra and the Thieaudio Monarch Mk II compare to other earbuds and headphones
"No other earphone I have listened to in the past 12 months has given me as much joy as the Thieaduio Monarch MKII. One of those IEMs will make you question where we can go from here. The sound is jaw-dropping, leaving you wanting more and more. It makes you want to run through your entire music library and reevaluate. It makes you not feel bad about paying full price for them, especially in a hobby where buyers' remorse is genuine. For me, it's top tier, rivaled by a few but not surpassed."
