If you prioritize a wireless option for convenience and portability, along with built-in controls and the ability to use them during exercise, the Grado GT220 earbuds would be suitable, also offering features like sweatproof certification and wireless charging. However, if sound quality, comfort, and a more immersive experience for music listening, TV, and video are your main concerns, then the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers superior performance in those areas, with a higher overall sound quality assessment and a better score for comfort. The Beyerdynamic headphones, however, are not wireless and lack the convenience features of the GT220 such as a microphone and touch controls. Keep in mind the Beyerdynamic headphones are also less suitable for exercise and not optimally designed for calls and meetings. Give Feedback
