Listening to music is possible everywhere with both models. That is, if you can plug in the headphones with the 3.5 mm jack. No problem with the MacBook Pro. The models differ primarily in terms of the remote control. I.e. how you operate the music via cable. I think this is more important for mobile use than when you use it on a notebook. Therefore, a model with Android remote control is more likely. On the Mac, you would then probably just have to operate the music normally via a tool (mouse, keyboard).

I only have a Mac and iOS devices and therefore have an Apple Remote.

Just my 2 cents.
