For the best sound quality and comfort during extended listening sessions, choose the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) as they excel in these aspects. However, they are not portable, lack a microphone, and have long cables that might not be suitable for working out or traveling. Alternatively, the Jabra Elite Active 75t are true wireless earbuds, offering better portability, a reliable microphone, and sweat resistance, making them ideal for exercise and calls. They also have active noise cancelling which is beneficial while commuting. Yet, they may not match the audio fidelity and immersion the Beyerdynamics provide for home listening or studio work.

"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."
"Audio is spacious and warm, delivering just the right amount of boom to kickstart your workouts without compromising the mids and highs. Battery life (both on a single charge and the charging case) is superior to all AirPods models. The extremely durable shell also reassures you that it’s going to take more than some severe environmental conditions to damage these buds."
