If you prioritize sound quality for music, the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds could be better due to their exceptional music performance, yet they are not ideal for calls and have no microphone for everyday use. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones offer very good sound quality across different contents, including gaming and TV, with excellent comfort and active noise cancelling, along with a long battery life, and they are less expensive. However, the Sennheiser's bulky form may be less portable, and for exercise, the Moondrop's lighter earbud design might be more practical despite being less suited for exercise. Give Feedback

How the Moondrop Blessing 2 and the Sennheiser Momentum 4 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."
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
