If sound quality for music is paramount, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers superior audio fidelity with more detailed and powerful sound, though their bulk and cable make them less portable; they're an excellent choice for critical listening, but they aren't designed for active use, lacking a microphone for calls. The Sennheiser HD 250BT, while not as sonically refined, are a budget-friendly wireless option with convenient features like Bluetooth and a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and their lighter build and longer battery life suit on-the-go listening or workouts. Choose the Beyerdynamic for the best listening experience in a fixed location, or opt for the Sennheisers if you need an affordable, versatile headset for everyday, active use. Give Feedback
