If you prioritize sound quality for music listening in a quiet environment, the AKG K712 Pro is superior due to its excellent soundstage and comfort but lacks a microphone and is not suitable for exercise, as it's not sweatproof. The Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones, more budget-friendly and versatile, provide decent mic quality and are sweatproof and dustproof, making them better for an active lifestyle, calls, or when situational awareness is important, though they compromise on sound quality and are less immersive for critical listening or watching TV.
