If you're looking for a pair of headphones with modern features like wireless connectivity, active noise cancelling, and an integrated app with equalizer settings, the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro would suit you. They offer a balance of very good sound quality and can be used for various activities, including music, calls, gaming, and TV. Their AI technology may also add a unique aspect to your experience by tracking focus and optimizing daily activities. On the other hand, if you value the absolute best sound quality and soundstage for critical listening and have the equipment to drive them, like an amplifier, the Sennheiser HD800S is superior, especially for music and TV. However, they lack wireless capabilities, noise cancellation, and are not suitable for exercise or travel due to their size and open-back design. Give Feedback
