If you're on a budget and need earbuds for exercise with sweatproof features, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would be a practical choice; they're also more portable and offer good noise isolation for air travel. However, if you prioritize excellent overall sound quality and comfort for extended listening sessions, and if a wired connection isn't a hindrance, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones are more suitable, especially for an immersive TV and video experience. Keep in mind that the Beyerdynamic headphones don't have built-in controls or a microphone, which may limit their versatility for calls and gaming. Give Feedback

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."
"Altogether, when you consider its accessible price tag, the performance, the build, and its outstanding comfort, I think that the DT770 Pro is fantastic option for anyone looking for a closed-back headphone in the sub-$1,000 range, and I can confidently give it a strong recommendation."
