If you're on a budget and need versatility, the Earfun Wave Pro with its wireless capability, active noise canceling, and low latency mode is a great lower-cost choice for music, calls, and even gaming. However, if you prioritize top-notch sound quality for critical listening and don't mind a wired connection, with the tradeoff of needing an amplifier for the best experience, the Sennheiser HD600 is worth the investment. Keep in mind, the Sennheisers don't have active noise canceling and are not well-suited for noisy environments or exercise. Give Feedback
