If you're on a tighter budget and primarily listen to music at home or in a studio, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones, being wired and having a closed over-ear design, offer very good sound quality and comfort. However, they lack modern features like wireless connectivity and a built-in mic, which can be limiting for calls and mobile use. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds are more expensive but excel with features like active noise cancelling, wireless charging, and a portable stemless design, making them versatile for travel, exercise, and calls. Their very good mic and excellent gaming scores also make them suitable for diverse multimedia usage. Keep in mind, the portability and advanced features of Sennheiser come at a higher cost compared to the more budget-friendly Beyerdynamic. 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."
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
