The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is a classic over-ear, wired headphone with a strong reputation for excellent sound quality and comfort, ideal for immersive listening experiences and professional audio work. However, it lacks a microphone, making it unsuitable for calls, and is not optimized for portable use. On the other hand, the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless is a more modern, truly wireless earbud that's portable, offers good sound quality, and has a mic for calls and meetings. It also features low latency which is great for gaming, and its secure fit makes it suitable for exercise. Consider the Beyerdynamic if sound quality and comfort are your top priorities, particularly for home use, but choose the Razer if you need versatility for gaming, calls, and on-the-go listening despite a potential compromise on sound fidelity.

How the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) and the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"This latest set is more “Pro” than not in both looks and features: they offer active noise cancellation, a low-latency gaming mode, and have switched to a in-ear design with silicone tips. Just like many of the company’s laptops and gaming accessories, the 2021 Hammerhead True Wireless include Razer’s full Chroma RGB system. It makes for what Razer calls “the ultimate wireless earbud flex.”"
