If you prioritize sound quality and comfort for extended listening sessions, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) offers superior sound fidelity and comfort, but requires more power to drive, making them better for home use with proper equipment. The Jaybird Vista 2, being less expensive, are compact, wireless, and convenient for active lifestyles, with features such as water resistance and a charging case, making them suitable for on-the-go use and workouts. However, they may not match the audio quality and comfort of the over-ear Beyerdynamics. Consider your primary use—studio-grade listening or portable, everyday use—to guide your decision.

The Jaybird Vista 2 has excellent build quality, while the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) has very good build quality.
"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."
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
