The Moondrop Blessing 2, being an earbud with high overall sound quality, excels in music listening, specifically with a score that emphasizes their performance in this area, but are not ideal for calls and meetings or exercise. They are wired, have no microphone, and offer less convenience during physical activities due to a lower score for exercise use. The Sennheiser HD 250BT headphones, on the other hand, are wireless with better battery life, have a good microphone, and are more versatile with high scores for calls, meetings, gaming, TV/video, as well as exercise, despite possibly being less optimal for music in comparison to the Moondrop Blessing 2. If wireless convenience, call quality, and using them for various activities including gaming and exercises are priorities, the Sennheiser might be the more suitable and budget-friendly choice, while the Moondrop Blessing 2 might be better for a premium music listening experience without interruptions.

How the Moondrop Blessing 2 and the Sennheiser HD 250BT compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
