The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is a great choice for music enthusiasts who prioritize sound quality and comfort, especially for studio work, but they do not have wireless capabilities or active noise cancelling. On the other hand, the Bose Quiet Comfort 45 headphones offer excellent comfort, wireless convenience, active noise cancelling for superior noise isolation, which is ideal for travel and commuting, and they include features like an integrated microphone that make them more suitable for calls and meetings. However, the Bose headphones are more expensive, and their overall sound quality may not be as highly regarded by audiophiles compared to the Beyerdynamics. Give Feedback

"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."

"If you want a set of wireless over-ear headphones you can put on, deploy noise-cancelling on your commute or at your desk and largely extinguish the outside world for up to 24 hours, the Bose QC 45 has the edge over most of the competition at the price."
