If you prioritize sound quality for music and have a higher budget, the Moondrop Blessing 3 may be worth the investment as they offer excellent overall sound and good soundstage. However, they're wired, don't have low latency or noise cancellation, which makes them less versatile for gaming, exercise, and travel. Alternatively, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are significantly less expensive, offer very good wireless sound quality, active noise cancelling, and convenient features like wireless charging and app support, making them more suitable for a wider range of activities including exercise, travel, and gaming.
