The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones are designed for those seeking a higher-fidelity audio experience, with better sound insulation due to their closed-back, over-ear design. They're a suitable choice for critical listening and studio work but are bulkier and might not be convenient for portable use. On the other hand, the Skullcandy Dime earbuds are much more cost-effective and offer greater portability along with a built-in microphone, making them a good option for hands-free calls and casual listening on the go. However, they might not match the audio quality and durability offered by the Beyerdynamic model. Give Feedback

"For $25, the Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds deliver a powerful, balanced, rich, and bright sound signature. There’s really not much else to talk about, but the audio is better than you would expect for the price."
