If you prioritize sound quality for music and TV and video, both Moondrop Blessing 2 and Sennheiser IE600 offer excellent performance, with Sennheiser being top-tier. For comfort during extended use, both are very good, but keep in mind neither are suitable for exercise, as they're not sweatproof. Neither of them supports wireless connectivity, so if you prefer a cable-free experience, these might not be the best fit. The Sennheiser provides better noise isolation, which is a plus for air travel and noisy environments. Both have a detachable cable and similar build quality, but note that Moondrop has poor built-in controls, which could be inconvenient. Neither is particularly good for calls or gaming due to the poor microphone quality and potential latency issues. If portability is crucial, Sennheiser has a medium earbud carry size compared to the very large size for Moondrop, making Sennheiser more travel-friendly. Consider your budget and which of these factors are most important to your listening experience to make your decision. Give Feedback

Sebastian Taboada | March 2021
"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."
