If you're primarily focused on sound quality for music and want a robust build at a somewhat lower price, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) is a strong choice; they are wired over-ear headphones with excellent sound isolation but are not portable and lack a microphone for calls. In contrast, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds offer wireless convenience, a microphone for calls, and active noise cancelling, making them more versatile for various use cases including exercise and travel, but they are typically more expensive and may not match the sound quality of the Beyerdynamics for purely music listening.

"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."
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
