If you're on a tighter budget and primarily want to listen to music or watch TV in a static setting, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro offers better value, with very good overall sound quality and comfort, but it lacks a built-in microphone and is quite bulky, which could make it less ideal for on-the-go use. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more and are seeking top-notch sound quality with excellent build and portability for listening to music, the Sennheiser IE600 may be worth the extra money but also comes without a microphone and is less suited for gaming or calls. Neither option supports wireless connectivity or active noise cancelling, and both are not designed for workouts or exercise. Give Feedback
