If sound quality, particularly for music, is your top priority and you're okay spending more, the Sennheiser HD600 usually offers a superior listening experience. However, if you're budget-conscious, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) offers great sound at a lower price point, with slightly less performance in terms of soundstage and music reproduction. The Beyerdynamic has a closed-back design offering better noise isolation, suitable for noisy environments, whereas the Sennheiser's open-back design provides a more natural sound but allows more ambient noise in and can leak sound to the surroundings. Keep in mind that neither have microphones, so for calls or gaming, you might need an external mic. Additionally, for watching TV and gaming, the Sennheiser performs better, despite not having a low latency feature that is preferable for such activities. Neither are ideal for exercise or travel due to their size and lack of portability features. Give Feedback
