If you're looking for superior sound quality and over-ear comfort for long listening sessions at home or in a studio setting, Beyerdynamic 770 Pro would be the better choice; however, these headphones are wired, bulkier, and do not have a built-in microphone, making them less portable and versatile for travel or calls. On the other hand, JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are more budget-friendly, provide good portability, and are sweatproof, which makes them suitable for exercise and on-the-go use, even though their overall sound quality and noise isolation might not match that of the Beyerdynamics. Keep in mind, the JLab earbuds have a built-in mic for calls but may not be the best quality for important meetings or gaming. 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 JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
