The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones offer exceptional sound quality with a strong emphasis on music listening and a comfortable over-ear design, but they lack a built-in microphone and are not designed for exercise or portable use. On the other hand, the "Nothing" Brand Ear (2) earbuds are versatile, with features like active noise cancelling, wireless connectivity with low latency mode, and a built-in microphone, making them suitable for calls, meetings, exercise, and travel, although they may not match the sound quality of the Beyerdynamics for critical listening sessions. Choose Beyerdynamic if studio-like sound and comfort are your top priorities, or "Nothing" Ear (2) if you need a microphone, portability, and versatility for a variety of uses. 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."

"For the price the Nothing Ear (2) is pretty good. It fits well, and the IP54 rating (and IP55 with case) is durable enough for daily life. Most of its unique features are found in the Nothing X app, such as personalized frequency responses, and personalized, adjustable ANC."
