If you prioritize sound quality and comfort for long listening sessions, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro is a solid choice, but they are wired and lack features like a microphone and active noise cancelling. The JBL Tune 660NC offers good wireless convenience, active noise cancelling, and built-in controls which are handy for travel or commuting, but their on-ear design might be less comfortable over time and their overall sound quality isn't as praised. Consider the JBL if you need a more affordable, versatile set for various environments, or the Beyerdynamic if you're focused on high-fidelity audio at home or in a studio. 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 JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"
