Choosing the Bose 700 over the Moondrop Blessing 2 depends on your preferences. The Bose 700 headphones are wireless with excellent active noise cancellation, making them ideal for air travel and noisy environments; their over-ear design and build quality also provide comfort and durability, and they come with a microphone which is suitable for calls and meetings. On the other hand, the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds deliver superior sound quality for music, but lack active noise cancellation and a microphone, potentially making them less versatile for travel or communications but excellent for high-fidelity music listening in quiet environments.

Adam Molina | June 2023
"Bose took active noise canceling and made it mainstream but eventually, the market caught up. Well, it seems like Bose was listening, because the Noise Canceling Headphones 700 is a complete redesign of its iconic product. The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 have a new design, improved sound quality, a touch-sensitive gesture pad for playback controls, and even USB-C charging."

"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."
