The Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 offers a high-end, overall sound quality with additional features like active noise cancelling, wireless operation with a battery life of 35 hours, and app customization for equalizer settings; they are well-suited for air travel and have higher comfort and build quality. However, these come at a typically much higher price compared to the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm). On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic headphones have excellent sound quality with a slightly better soundstage, are more affordable, and have a longer history of reliability given their longevity since 1985. However, they lack wireless capabilities, active noise cancellation, and built-in controls that the H95 offers. The 770 Pro may not be as suitable for travel or exercise, and they do not offer a microphone for calls or meetings. Give Feedback
