Choosing between the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) and "Nothing" Brand Ear Stick depends on your preferences and needs. The Beyerdynamic is an over-ear closed-back headphone that offers excellent sound quality and comfort but is not suited for exercise, since it's bulky and doesn't have a detachable cable. In contrast, the "Nothing" Ear Stick is a more affordable and portable earbud option with an open design, good for calls and meetings due to its microphone quality, and has a low latency mode that's beneficial for gaming. However, it offers less noise isolation and sound quality than the Beyerdynamic. If portability and use during physical activity are important to you, consider the "Nothing" Ear Stick. If sound quality and comfort are paramount and you mostly listen in a stationary environment, the Beyerdynamic may be the better choice. 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."

"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
