If budget is a primary concern, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) offers a good balance of sound quality and comfort at a more affordable price, making it a solid choice for home or studio use, especially if you already have equipment that can drive them properly. However, the Focal Bathys are wireless with active noise cancellation, making them more versatile for travel and listening in noisy environments. They also have a built-in microphone, which is convenient for calls. If you're seeking convenience, advanced features, and are less sensitive to price, the Focal Bathys could be a better fit.
