    Can anyone suggest good over the ear bluetooth headphones below $200 for a good listening experience?
    I generally use lossless streaming for listening to music ( Tidal or amazon music)
    and I have a separate DT 770 pro for composing/mixing audio.

    I have always been a Sennheiser fan, I have a HD 569 and 598 on my desk, plus a pair of PXC 550's for noise cancellation and bluetooth streaming

    Edit: sorry, I've skipped the 'bluetooth' part while reading through, but these are great nevertheless.

    What is the difference between HD 569 and 598? Which one is better?
    How do you choose a better headphone? Is it with a flatter frequency response?

    The main difference is the 569 is closed back while the 598 is open back, it depends on the environment I'm in and if I'm using it for mixing or listening to music. Having a flat response is mostly a good idea for mixing

    I will be using it for listening to music but being a budding musician, I would like to hear audio in the correct way so that I can distinguish between good and bad mixing/master.
    I have a DT 770 pro for mixing my music.
    I would want to use this headphone while I am in the gym, outside or doing my daily job as well.

    Use the dt 770 for listening. The better you know your headphones (the more you listen to mixed and mastered music) the better your mixing/composing will be.
