If you prioritize sound quality and noise isolation for a variety of indoor activities, the Sony WF1000XM5 with its very good sound and excellent noise isolation would suit you better, though they're not recommended for gaming or TV due to poor performance in those areas. Conversely, the Mojawa HaptiFit Terra would be a better fit for active users who want to remain aware of their surroundings with its open design and bone conduction technology that allows you to hear the environment, along with added health tracking features, although the sound quality is not as good. Neither of these are suitable for high-motion activities as they lack sweatproof certification, but the Sony has better support for AAC and LDAC codecs which may improve your listening experience on compatible devices.

"The Sony WF-1000XM5 is among the best noise canceling earbuds currently on the market, and they aren’t cheap. These earbuds aren’t the best choice for budget-conscious listeners. But if you prioritize active noise cancelation, sound quality, and extensive software support, the WF-1000XM5 is worth its premium price tag."
