If you prioritize versatility and wireless convenience, along with high-quality noise isolation for varying environments such as air travel or exercise, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX might be the better choice. These earbuds offer dynamic sound quality, are sweat and dustproof, and come with app customization options. They're optimized for both Android and Apple devices, lending to their versatility. However, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers excellent audio fidelity and comfort, best suited for long listening sessions at home or in a studio, primarily given their over-ear form and wired connection which could limit mobility. While they lack active noise cancelling and are not suited for exercise or travel, they are a solid pick for those who want quality sound on a budget, especially for music and TV. Give Feedback

"If you’ve wanted truly wireless headphones, but couldn’t pick them up because they sound terrible, these will be the headphones that win you over. If you’re the kind of person who would consider spending $400 on headphones, these are the right truly wireless headphones for you."
