If sound quality for music is a top priority, the Moondrop Blessing 2 earbuds excel in this area but they do not have features such as Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) or wireless connectivity, making them less suitable for travel or gym use. On the other hand, the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones offer ANC, a foldable design for better portability, and wireless functionality, making them more versatile for different environments. However, they may not match the Moondrop in pure sound fidelity. So, if budget allows and you prioritize music listening in quiet environments, Moondrop Blessing 2 could be your choice, but for an overall practical set of features at a lower price, consider the Soundcore Space Q45.

"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 Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
