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

These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
