The Grado GT220 offers wireless convenience with 5.5 hours of typical use and wireless charging, making it suitable for those who prioritize freedom of movement, integrated controls, and compatibility with AAC codec. However, it scores lower for gaming and TV due to latency and has moderate noise isolation. On the other hand, the Moondrop Blessing 2 delivers higher sound quality, especially for music with its precise soundstage and higher comfort levels. It has a detachable cable, but it lacks wireless capabilities and a microphone, which could be critical for calls. Its larger earbud size may not fit everyone comfortably, and despite its cable ear hooks, it is less ideal for exercise. Consider what aspects—wireless features, call quality, sound quality, or comfort—are most important for your daily use when making your choice. Give Feedback

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."

About Moondrop
