If you prioritize sound quality for music and have a higher budget, the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds would be the better choice with their superior music listening experience. However, they lack features such as a microphone, active noise cancelling, and wireless connectivity, which may limit their use in calls, travel, and convenience. The Skullcandy Hesh ANC headphones, on the other hand, offer good noise isolation, integrated active noise cancelling, and wireless functionality at a lower price, making them suitable for everyday use, travel, and calls. They are also foldable and have a longer battery life, which enhances portability and usage duration. 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."
