The Moondrop Blessing 3 are premium priced earbuds offering a closed, stemless design, which can be appealing for a discreet look. They come with a wired connection which ensures lossless audio quality, but they lack the convenience of wireless listening. The earbuds come with a detachable cable, which is great for durability and serviceability. They have a relatively heavy weight of 18.1 grams and are large in size, so they may not suit those looking for the lightest or smallest earbuds. They are designed to deliver balanced audio and can be further enhanced by purchasing 2.2mm and 4.4mm cables separately. The Blessing 3 has basic features and lacks modern add-ons such as active noise cancelling, water resistance, and app controls. They may not be ideal for exercise, active noise environments, or users requiring wireless features. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
TV & Video:4.4
This score evaluates the earbuds or headphones when used to watch videos, movies and TV. In the case of wireless products, it takes into account latency - the perceived delay between the action on screen and the sounds playing in your ears. The score also considers soundstage quality, whether they have a virtual surround feature, and overall comfort.
It’s important to note that the device paired with the earbuds heavily influences their performance in regards to latency or delay.
Music:4.3
This evaluates the product when used solely to listen to music. It takes into account the sound quality, whether or not they support high quality codecs, their ability to reproduce soundstage, and whether or not it has any virtual surround capabilities.
Podcasts & Audiobooks:4.3
This score evaluates the product when used solely to listen to podcasts or audiobooks. It takes into account sound quality and sound signature, to be able to keep voices clear and intelligible. It also considers battery life, when available, and comfort.
Air Travel:3.5
This score evaluates the product for use on airplanes and other similar kinds of travel. It takes into account noise reduction and portability, including case shape, case size, and weight.

Gaming:3.4
This score evaluates the product when used to play videogames. It takes into account wireless latency - the perceived delay between the action on screen and the sounds playing in your ears. The score also considers soundstage quality, whether they have a virtual surround feature, and overall comfort. Finally, the gaming score takes into account microphone quality for in-game voice chat.
It’s important to note that the device paired with the earbuds heavily influences their performance in regards to latency or delay.

"The Moondrop Blessing 3 has excellent imaging performance, especially for the price. Pair that with its neutral tonality with slight elevations towards both ends of the frequency response, and the Blessing 3 technically proficient set of IEMs that are also enjoyable to listen to every day."
