If you're on a budget, the Koss KSC75 would be a better choice as they are significantly less expensive and provide a good overall sound quality. They have an open design, which means you'll get a more spacious soundstage but less noise isolation, making them less ideal for noisy environments. On the other hand, the Moondrop Blessing 2 offers a higher build and overall sound quality with a closed design for better noise isolation. They're more suitable for environments where you want to block out external sound but come at a premium price. Neither have built-in microphones or controls, and both are wired, so consider convenience and needs for device compatibility. Give Feedback

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
"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."
