If you're on a budget, the JBL Live 670NC offers a lower midrange price and features active noise cancellation, wireless connectivity, and a comfortable on-ear design, suitable for air travel and casual music listening. However, keep in mind that they are not the best choice for gaming or TV due to poor sound quality in these settings. The Moondrop Blessing 2, on the other hand, comes at a premium price and delivers very good sound quality overall, with excellent build quality and a very good comfort score, making them a better choice for critical listening and enjoying various types of audio content. However, they lack wireless capability and noise cancellation, so they wouldn't be ideal for exercise or noisy environments. Give Feedback

"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."
