The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) offers a superior sound quality and is more comfortable for long listening sessions compared to the KZ ZSN Pro, making it ideal for music enthusiasts who value audio fidelity and comfort. However, they are bulkier and not as portable as the KZ ZSN Pro. If budget is a major concern and you're looking for a more affordable, lightweight option for casual listening or on-the-go use, the KZ ZSN Pro would be a suitable choice, despite its lower sound quality. Neither option supports wireless connectivity or active noise cancelling, so these features will not influence your decision. 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."
"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
