If you prioritize sound isolation and convenience for on-the-go use, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II may be the better option due to their active noise canceling feature and portability. However, if you are focused on sound quality and a spacious soundstage for a more immersive listening experience at home or in the studio, the over-ear design of the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is likely to serve you better. Bear in mind that while the Beyerdynamic headphones will usually provide superior audio detail and dynamics, the Bose earbuds offer more flexibility for active lifestyles and travel thanks to their compact design and wireless connectivity.

"Bose’s flagship wireless earbuds were never going to be cheap, but the question was whether they’d be competitive in an area of the market where rivals have never been more capable. The fact that the company has not only managed to implement a successful redesign, but also push the envelope for noise-cancelling and sound quality in such a highly competitive category simultaneously is truly impressive."
