If portability and wireless convenience are top priorities, the Beats Fit Pro earbuds would be better as they're wireless, compact, and have good battery life, also featuring active noise cancellation for travel or noisy environments. However, if you prioritize sound quality and comfort for extended periods, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro headphones excel, especially for home use where you won't need wireless functionality. The Beats would be more suited for exercise given their sweatproof design and secure fit, while the Beyerdynamic, being bulkier, are not ideal for this. Note that Beats might pair better with Apple devices due to the H1 chip integration. Give Feedback

"The Beats Fit Pro is just as easy to use with an Android device as it is with an iPhone. It seems Apple-owned Beats is trying to appeal to a wider market, and it works. The Fit Pro fits like a pro with the ear tip fit test and multiple ear tips. Sound quality is sure to please most athletes, but the Fit Pro is just at home in the office as it is in the gym. The main factor holding the Beats Fit Pro back from gold is the price."
"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."
