If sound quality is your priority and you prefer earbuds, the Moondrop Blessing 3 provides excellent sound with the option to enhance it further with different cables. However, they're pricier, lack wireless capabilities, and have poor microphone quality, making them less suitable for calls. The Razer Kraken V3 headphones offer good sound and better mic quality at a lower price, with the added benefit of virtual surround sound for immersive gaming and TV. They're less portable and don't have built-in controls, but if you're gaming mainly at your desk, they could be a more cost-effective choice. Give Feedback

"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."

"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
