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

"If you've got the bucks, the Sennheiser IE 600 is a nice, upscale set of in-ear monitors made of a lightweight metal with an unusual texture. It comes with a suite of extras, and performs well at virtually every task."
