If you prioritize isolation from outside noise and versatility in various environments, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro is closed-back and suitable for recording sessions and casual listening, but they aren't the best choice for a wide soundstage experience. The Philips Fidelio X2HR, on the other hand, are open-back headphones that provide a more natural and spacious sound, ideal for enjoying music in a quiet environment; however, they're less suitable in noisy settings or for recording as they leak sound. Considering the price, if your usage leans towards home listening and you prefer a more immersive sound at a lower cost, the Philips Fidelio X2HR would be a compelling choice. If you require noise isolation and plan to use them in a variety of environments, the extra cost of the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro could be justified. Give Feedback
