If you prioritize active noise cancelling and wireless convenience for air travel and commuting while keeping costs down, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC is a solid choice. However, if you're more interested in the highest quality sound for music and have a larger budget, the Moondrop Blessing 3 may be worth the investment despite lacking features like active noise cancelling, wireless capability, and mic quality, which might be essential for calls. The Moondrop also provides a more balanced audio experience but can be less convenient for active users due to being wired and not sweatproof. Give Feedback

"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."
