If affordability is a priority and you often find yourself needing to switch between wireless and wired connections or need active noise canceling and a foldable design for easy transport, the JBL Tune 660NC would be a practical choice, particularly for air travel and casual listening. However, the Moondrop Blessing 3, despite being more expensive, offers a higher overall sound quality and build quality, which could be better for discerning listeners prioritizing audio fidelity, especially for music and TV. Keep in mind though, the Moondrop lacks wireless capabilities, noise-canceling features, and is not as comfortable for exercise or optimized for calls and meetings. Give Feedback

Chase Bernath | April 2023
"The JBL Tune 660NC is the best value you can get from a set of on-ear headphones. There's no companion app so you don't get many additional features, but everything the JBL Tune 660NC sets out to do, it does well. At this price, the JBL Tune 660NC is an easy recommendation for on-ear headphone lovers"

"The Moondrop Blessing 3 has excellent imaging performance, especially for the price. Pair that with its neutral tonality with slight elevations towards both ends of the frequency response, and the Blessing 3 technically proficient set of IEMs that are also enjoyable to listen to every day."
