If you prioritize audio quality for music, the Moondrop Blessing 2 has superior sound, but is more expensive and lacks features like wireless connectivity. Consider the Moondrop if you're an audiophile and don't mind wires or a premium price. Opt for the "Nothing" Ear Stick if you need wireless convenience, make frequent calls, and prefer not to spend as much. 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."

Jasper Lastoria | December 2022
"If the Ear (stick) fits your ears, its light weight means you can easily wear it until the unimpressive battery life totally drains. The IP54 rating of the buds lends some confidence that it’ll survive some light abuse too. Finally, for the person who only wears earbuds at their desk, the Nothing Ear (stick) with its decent microphone could offer a reasonable Zoom meeting solution."
