Our Verdict

Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO

Focal Elegia

The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO are better headphones than the Focal Elegia. They might not feel as comfortable as the Focal because of their tighter fit, but they have great audio reproduction to reproduce tracks accurately. However, the Focal are slightly better-built headphones but are also bulkier. Overall, the Beyerdynamics have better sound, are more versatile, and will still last you years.
