If you value active noise cancelling, wireless connectivity with low latency support, and a foldable design for easy transportation, the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones are a great choice, especially for air travel and immersive music and TV experiences. However, they are substantially more expensive. The Moondrop Blessing 3 earbuds, while much less costly, excel in sound quality with both BA and dynamic drivers but lack wireless capability and active noise cancelling. They also have poorer microphone quality, so they might not be ideal for calls. If you are looking for earbuds mainly for high-fidelity music listening without the need for extra features like active noise cancelling or wireless connectivity and want to save money, the Moondrop Blessing 3 could be a better fit for you.

"The Moondrop Blessing 3 has excellent imaging performance, especially for the price. Pair that with its neutral tonality with slight elevations towards both ends of the frequency response, and the Blessing 3 technically proficient set of IEMs that are also enjoyable to listen to every day."

Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen created the first AC radio in 1925 and went on to develop televisions, telephones and, of course, headphones and loudspeakers.

About Moondrop
Moondrop is a Chinese brand of smart audio equipment, portable audio players, earbuds and headphones started in 2015. During the last few years they have become one of the major players in what is lovingly referred to as the Chi-fi market, the bulk of Chinese companies that have managed to actually compete with the western manufacturers in both prices and superior quality. Products such as the Blessing II, Chu and Kato are among the most popular offerings of the brand, more popular among those users that wish for good quality audio that won't break the bank. Besides audio, the brand also works in what they call the ACGN field (Animation, Comics, Games and Short Novels).
