If you prioritize sound quality for music and a more immersive listening experience, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro is a better option; however, if you're looking for versatility for calls, meetings, and gaming with an integrated high-quality microphone, the Rode NTH-100M would be more suitable. The Beyerdynamic's open soundstage might be preferred for intensive listening sessions, but for practical use cases like long calls or interactive gaming sessions, the Rode's built-in microphone and superior call and gaming scores make it a compelling choice. Additionally, if portability matters, consider that the Rode headphones have a detachable cable which can be a convenience. Give Feedback
