Our Verdict

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless both sport over-ear, closed-back designs, but this is mostly where the similarities end. The Bose can connect via both Bluetooth and wired connection types and feature an ANC system, while the Beyerdynamic headphones are wired-only. While the Beyerdynamic's closed-back design passively attenuates some mid and treble-range noises, it's no match for the full spectrum attenuation provided by the Bose's ANC system. The Bose also come with a solid built-in mic and app compatibility, and their sound profile complies with our target better. This makes them well-suited for commuting, travel, and office work. The Beyerdynamic, by contrast, have a brighter treble range, with more peaks in the frequency response. That said, most people will purchase the Beyerdynamic as studio monitoring cans or entry-level audiophile headphones, for which they're well-suited. Their wired design provides a low-latency performance, they're well-built, and they provide some isolation against external noise without needing an ANC system.
