An open outer earcup. Plan for a quiet listening space; it is not designed as a sealed barrier around your ears.
An enclosed outer earcup. This construction provides passive separation; it does not establish an ANC feature or a tested isolation level.

Nominal electrical load, not sound quality or loudness. Output capability and headphone sensitivity matter together; impedance alone cannot decide whether an amplifier is needed.
The same stated specification
Manufacturer-stated cable length. Check whether it is straight or coiled and whether the cable detaches; equal length does not mean an identical connection.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO: Manufacturer specification · Straight cable on the 80-ohm model; not the 250-ohm coiled cable.
Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.
