If superior sound quality, particularly for music, is your top priority and cost is not a major concern, the HifiMan Arya Stealth, with its exceptional overall sound quality and soundstage, is an excellent choice. However, these headphones are significantly more expensive and have an open design which may not be ideal if you require sound isolation or you don't want to disturb others nearby. Conversely, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro is much more affordable and offers very good sound quality with a closed-back design for better noise isolation, making them a smarter pick for a tighter budget or for environments where sound leakage is a concern. Both are wired and offer comfort, but neither are suitable for exercise and the HifiMan Arya Stealth isn't optimized for portability due to its larger size. 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."

"The Arya can easily be end-game headphones for 99% of consumers, satisfying most audio desires. Priced well above USD$1000, the Arya are obviously and gloriously not for the mass market consumer; they are designed and built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – especially those who view their expenses on this level of gear as investments."
