If you value comfort and sound quality for music and TV, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is known for its very good performance in these areas, though it has poor microphone quality and no wireless option. It is less suitable for calls, meetings, and exercise. The KZ ZSN Pro X are budget-friendly earbuds that offer good portability and are suitable for air travel, but they also have a poor mic and are not recommended for gaming or calls. They have a detachable cable and the option for balanced audio with separate purchase, making them more versatile for users who prioritize customization and portability. 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 KZ ZSN PRO X offers superb sound for very little money, like under $30 USD. It has some rough edges with a plastic seam on the cable that can rub on your ear, and the bud is a bit large. The tech isn't cutting edge, but new doesn't always equal better. You should try it."
