Based on the information, if you prioritize sound quality for music, the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) would be the better choice, however, if features like wireless connectivity, active noise cancelling, and portability are important to you, then the Soundcore Space Q45 should be considered. The Beyerdynamic lacks a microphone, so it wouldn't be suitable for calls or meetings, whereas the Soundcore with its integrated mic and decent scores for calls could server better for that purpose. The Beyerdynamic has a high comfort score, but it's limited to wired use and does not offer noise cancelling, which the Soundcore does, enhancing the listening experience in noisy environments. If you plan to use them during exercise or travel frequently, the Soundcore's wireless feature and longer battery life are significant advantages. 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."
"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
