For improved sound quality and comfort for extended listening, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) stands out, and its closed design improves noise isolation, making it suitable for quiet environments. However, they are wired, bulkier, and less portable, with no built-in microphone. The Moondrop Nekocake, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly, wireless, more portable, and comes with a built-in microphone, but the sound quality and noise isolation aren't as high as the 770 Pro. The Moondrop Nekocake is more versatile for calls, meetings, and exercise but falls short in immersive audio experiences compared to the Beyerdynamic model. 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."

"What sets the Nekocake apart from its competition at this price point is the Moondrop Link app that allows the user to change the tonal balance of the Nekocake. This makes sure that it’s versatile enough to suit different sonic preferences while allowing some customization of controls."
