The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is wired with closed-back design offering a high overall sound quality, making them excellent for critical listening and studio work. If budget is a concern and you prefer wired over-ear headphones mainly for music and studio use without the need for active noise canceling, the Beyerdynamic might be preferable. However, if you value a wireless connection, noise cancellation, and extensive features for various environments, the Momentum 4 would be a better choice despite being more expensive. Give Feedback

"Altogether, when you consider its accessible price tag, the performance, the build, and its outstanding comfort, I think that the DT770 Pro is fantastic option for anyone looking for a closed-back headphone in the sub-$1,000 range, and I can confidently give it a strong recommendation."
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
