Beyerdynamic DT770 vs Bose 700

I was looking for something that was comfortable with no sound leakage that I could drive directly from a laptop and not need an amp. The main purpose was just to listen to speaking videos with the above requirements. However, after reading the reviews it sounded like they would be good for music as well with an amp - which I do have (Mojo). So, unless I was wanting to listen to true audiophile music, I thought maybe this would save me from having to switch back and forth between headphones when I took a break from speaking videos to listen to some music At least that Is what I had hoped

Sound is very subjective so it's difficult to recommend something based on what it sounds like but in my opinion these headphones somehow achieve the ...

Isolation - They have a lot of passive isolation to them when you have them on (can't hear anything with music on). Outside of the headphones they don't leak a lot of sound (unless you have them cranked, and even then it's not blaring). If you want to use a mic while listening to music, you wont hear yourself at all. Cons: ***Cable length - You will need twist ties to use these as portables, the cable is extremely long Cups don't rotate in both axis, so carrying these around gets tricky (awkward shaped and big)

If anything else it’s very jarring to hear the accompanying “popping” that occurs with the added acute noise cancellation. Build quality: See picture…I’ve had these three months, have only worn them daily for two weeks as a test and the stainless steel frame has scratches from the ear cups. Also, every time I turn my head, a wonderful rubbing sound of the ear cup turning. In this department I am a bit of a snob

I'm not concerned with the way they look. They aren't displeasing to me - but I'm also not thinking these are the coolest looking phones, but I don't care about that.

Now when it comes to these headphones design… thats all subjective. But personally I don't like the not so low profile headband and only being able to...

They are a bit muted in the sound signature which can make them less fatiguing than other, more analytical, headphones. Mids - A bit to high level for me, it tended to make punk rock music sound very close and muddied Lows - A bit boomy but very spacious Audio Technica ATH M-50x Highs - Quite good representation, a bit cold though Mids - Nothing special, no major issues though Lows - Too over-emphasized -----------------Comfort--------------- Beyerdynamic DT 770 - Winner Perfect. I wore these on multiple occasions for more than 7 hours and never noticed any pressure points or discomfort. The headband is larger than average to distribute the pressure

Now what I actually like about them. The adjustable headset has a smooth and sleek design. They are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I really love that they are touch sensitive and I don't have to take them off to adjust the settings
