The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) offers excellent sound quality and comfort, with strong noise isolation due to its closed-back design, making it suited for environments where you need to block out external sound. It's well-constructed, but the cable isn't detachable and it's not optimized for calls or gaming. The EPOS PC38X, being slightly more expensive, excels in gaming and calls/meetings thanks to its open-back design which provides a wider soundstage and a high-quality microphone. It scores highly for comfort and sound quality but has low noise isolation, so it's not ideal for noisy environments. If gaming and clear communication are top priorities, the EPOS PC38X is the better choice. Give Feedback
