If you're looking for portability and stealth, consider the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds, which are easier to carry around and less conspicuous in public settings. However, if you prioritize comfort for long listening sessions and the classic open-back soundstage, the Sennheiser HD600 headphones could be the better choice. Keep in mind that open-back headphones like the HD600 often leak sound and do not isolate noise well, which might not be suitable for noisy environments; whereas the Moondrop Blessing 2, being in-ear monitors, provide better noise isolation. If you frequently make calls, ensure the one you choose has a good quality microphone. 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."
"The HD600 are state-of-the-art headphones with high sound quality and remarkable value, among most of the offerings in today’s time."
