Beyerdynamic DT 770 ComparisonSennheiser PXC 250-II Comparison
Design
The PXC 250-IIs are probably less durable than the RP-DH1200s if only because they’re more slender and will probably bend easier. The RP-DH1200s are more plasticky, have more mass, and are equipped with better cord guards, so they’ll probably stand up a bit better to general wear and tear. If you’re looking for portable or elegant, though, the PXC 250-IIs have it.

Frequency Response
The PXC 250-IIs had a much more even frequency response than the RP-DH1200s. The curves are somewhat similar, but the RP-DH1200s are a significantly more exaggerated version of the PXC 250-IIs.

Distortion
Neither set of headphones had any distortion worth fretting over, but the PXC 250-IIs had ever-so-slightly more low-end distortion than the RP-DH1200s.

Isolation
The PXC 250-IIs have a moderate active cancellation effect, which makes it a better isolator than the RP-DH1200s.

Verdict
Since both headphones cost about the same price, this decision is going to come down to what features you value most. If you want portability or isolation, the PXC 250-IIs are the better set of headphones; likewise if you value aesthetics. The RP-DH1200s are more durable, but don’t sound as nice and aren’t as portable. They also aren’t nearly as comfortable (in our humble opinion).
