The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) stands out for music listening with superior overall sound quality, suitable for users seeking an immersive audio experience, but it lacks a microphone making it unsuitable for calls. Conversely, the HyperX Cloud II, being much less expensive, boasts high mic quality, recommended for gamers and call participants. Both are wired and closed-back, offering good noise isolation. However, if gaming and video are your primary activities, the HyperX Cloud II, with its virtual surround capability and better suitability for gaming over the Beyerdynamic, might better meet your needs. If comfort is paramount, both score highly, ensuring extended usage without discomfort. Give Feedback
