If you prioritize sound quality and comfort for extended listening sessions, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro is excellent and a more budget-friendly choice; however, it lacks a microphone for calls and is not the best for exercising due to its bulkiness and cable. On the other hand, the Bose 700, while pricier, offers superior noise isolation, active noise cancelling for air travel, a built-in microphone for clear calls, and better portability with wireless capabilities and a foldable design, which may justify the cost if these features match your lifestyle needs.

"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."

Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."
