The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) are over-ear headphones known for their excellent sound quality and comfort, making them ideal for critical listening and long listening sessions at home or in a studio. They are more expensive, heavier, and less portable but have a longer cable and no built-in microphone, so they're not the best for calls and on-the-go use. On the other hand, the Moondrop Chu earbuds are much more portable, offering good sound quality and a built-in microphone, making them suitable for calls, travel, and outdoor use. They're lighter, less obtrusive, and a budget-friendly option. While neither supports wireless connectivity, the Moondrop Chu's in-line microphone and additional accessories for secure fit improve their versatility, especially for active use cases. Give Feedback
