If you prioritize sound quality and a wide soundstage for an immersive listening experience, especially for music, the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds may be the better choice, although they are more expensive and not suitable for exercising due to their form factor and lack of wireless connectivity. On the other hand, if you're looking for versatility and earbuds suitable for physical activities, the Shokz OpenMove offers bone conduction technology that allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, and they are sweatproof, making them ideal for exercise at a more affordable price, but the tradeoff is in the overall sound quality which is not as high as the Moondrop Blessing 2.

"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 Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
