If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option with a good overall sound quality for music, TV, and video, and something comfortable for air travel, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS may suit you. However, they lack wireless capabilities and aren't the best for exercise as they're not sweatproof. On the other hand, the Moondrop Blessing 2 has very good sound quality, especially for music and TV, and is well-built with the option for detachable cables, but they come at a premium price and may not be as comfortable for exercise or travel due to their larger earbud size and poorer portability. Neither are optimal for calls and meetings due to their poor microphone quality, and neither support features like active noise cancelling or wireless charging. Give Feedback

Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."

"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."
