The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers excellent sound quality and comfort, ideal for critical listening and studio use, but they are wired and lack portability. The Sennheiser 450BT are wireless with active noise cancellation, making them suitable for commuting and travel; however, they may have higher latency, which isn't ideal for gaming or watching TV. Consider the Beyerdynamic if sound fidelity and a robust build are priorities, and the Sennheiser if you value wireless convenience and active noise cancellation over the absolute best audio reproduction. Choose based on whether portability or sound quality is your primary concern, keeping in mind the price difference. Give Feedback

"The Sennheiser HD 450BT is a very good pair of headphones for the price, noise canceling is good and sound quality is great—quite rare at this price point. Like any product, this headset isn’t without its faults."
