The Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) delivers superior overall sound quality and a better soundstage, making them excellent for immersive music experiences and critical listening. However, they are wired, less portable, and not suitable for exercise. If you need active noise cancelling, wireless convenience, and portability for activities like commuting or exercising, the Soundcore Life P3 will better meet your needs, despite having a less refined sound quality. The Life P3 also offers features like a longer battery life, app equalizer, and touch controls, which can enhance your user experience, especially if you frequently take calls or listen to content on the go.

"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."
"Anker continues its trend of stealth releases, recently dropping the Soundcore Life P3 out of nowhere. This product essentially replaces the disappointing Life A2 NC as the brand’s flagship ANC model under $100. It comes with bassy audio and enough features to give even the best noise-cancelling earbuds pause."
