For a more immersive listening experience and studio-quality sound, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro will excel, making them a solid choice for critical listening and professional applications. However, they are expensive and may require a headphone amplifier to perform at their best due to their impedance. On the other hand, the Soundcore P20i are budget-friendly and convenient for everyday use with mobile devices, as they likely don't demand additional amplification. If you're seeking casual listening with portability and without significant investment, the Soundcore P20i might be the way to go. Keep in mind they may not match the audio fidelity provided by the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro. Give Feedback
