For a richer and more immersive audio experience, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) would be the superior choice, offering exceptional overall sound quality and comfort; however, it lacks a microphone and any wireless functionality, which might limit its use for calls or when mobility is required. If you need the flexibility of wireless use, a built-in microphone for calls or online meetings, and a longer battery life, then the JLab JBuds Work Wireless might be the more suitable option for you, despite having lower overall sound quality. The JBuds are also less bulky for traveling, score higher for exercise use, and come equipped with built-in controls. Keep in mind that the Beyerdynamic, with its higher price, are favored for applications like critical listening or professional use due to their superior build and sound quality, but for everyday convenience, the JLab may have the edge.

How the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) and the JLab JBuds Work Wireless compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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 JBuds Work is an affordable headset-headphone hybrid that you can use to listen to music in stereo and communicate on video calls thanks to a retractable boom mic, and we particularly like its convenient mono and passive wired modes. You won't find any frills here like you will with the costlier Jabra Evolve2 65 or Plantronics Voyager 4220 UC, but for less than half the price, the JBuds Work is an effective lower-cost alternative."
