If you prioritize comfort and sound quality, especially for music and TV, and don't mind a wired connection, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) may suit you, but keep in mind they are not portable and lack a microphone. However, if you need earbuds for calls, meetings, or exercise, with good battery life, wireless convenience, and sweatproof features, the Jabra Elite 4 would be better, and they are significantly less expensive. The Jabra Elite 4 also offers noise cancelling and an integrated microphone, which the Beyerdynamic lacks, making them versatile for travel and outdoor use. Give Feedback

"The Jabra Elite 4 is a good midrange option with solid isolation and aptX codec for Android. It sounds consumer friendly from the box and the app has some EQ to adjust to taste. Some included luxuries include multipoint, sidetone, and Spotify Tap"
