The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro has better overall sound quality, comfort, and build quality, ideal for immersive music listening and TV. However, it's more expensive and less portable, without built-in controls or a detachable cable. The Sony MDR-ZX110 is more budget-friendly, lighter, and foldable for easy travel, but it compromises on sound, comfort, and build quality. If excellent audio and comfort are top priorities and you're willing to invest, go for the Beyerdynamic. If you prefer affordability and portability and can sacrifice audio fidelity, choose the Sony. Neither has wireless capability or active noise cancelling. 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."

"My opinion about Sony MDR ZX110 is they are the best budget headphones of Sony with top-class sound. Clear vocals, great bass, and balanced sound with low sound distortion. The treble could be sharper, but it's ok. 30 mm neodymium dynamic drivers give clear and precise audio, and an inline remote with a mic give decent call quality. Closed-Back Design also helps to improve sound performance."
