If budget is a big concern and you also need wireless earbuds that can handle sweat during exercise or travel well, the Baseus Bowie MA10 would serve you better. They also offer very good built-in controls and mic quality, suitable for calls. However, if you prioritize outstanding overall sound quality and are willing to go with a wired connection, the Moondrop Blessing 2 may be worth the extra cost. The Moondrop's sound is more tuned for music and TV, but it lacks the modern conveniences like app support and wireless features. Neither is particularly tuned for gaming or optimized for battery life, so consider these points when making your choice. Give Feedback

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."

"After having the opportunity to finally listen to them myself, I think I can kind of begin to understand why this set in particular has garnered so much hype and praise over the past year, since its release. It’s a truly delightful IEM to listen to, with an outstanding tonal balance that I think most listeners will enjoy, and solid all-around technical performance at a great price."
