If cost is a major concern for you, the Antlion Kimura Duo offers good value, especially for gaming, with excellent build quality and a detachable boom mic. However, if you're seeking high-end sound quality, comfort for extended listening and advanced features like active noise cancelling and wireless connectivity, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro might be worth the investment. It also has an app equalizer for sound customization and an integrated AI technology for enhancing focus and mental health—features the Kimura Duo lacks. Keep in mind that the MW75-Neuro is significantly heavier and might be less suitable for exercise and travel due to its size and weight. Give Feedback
