The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) boasts a closed design providing better noise isolation, which could be preferred for noisy environments or if you wish to keep your listening private, but they lack a detachable cable adding to potential longevity issues. On the flip side, the Philips SHP9500 has an open design that offers a more natural soundstage and higher comfort, which is ideal for long listening sessions in quiet places; they also have a detachable cable which extends their durability. Both have excellent overall sound quality, but if price is a significant factor, the SHP9500 provides great value for a lower cost. Give Feedback
