The Beats Powerbeats Pro are wireless, have a secure ear hook design suitable for exercise, and feature built-in controls, offering good sound quality. They're sweatproof, have a long battery life, and their lower price makes them accessible. However, they may not be the best for critical listening. The Moondrop Blessing 2, while more expensive, offers superior sound quality with better soundstage, making them excellent for detailed music and video. They come with a detachable cable but lack wireless functionality, which limits their convenience during activities like exercise. Neither has active noise cancelling, so consider your need for sound isolation in noisy environments. Give Feedback

Christian Thomas | November 2022
"Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land. Android users may find other options they like better, as these only support AAC."

Sebastian Taboada | March 2021
"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."
