If you prioritize immersive music listening and the highest sound quality, the Sennheiser Accentum Plus could be your choice, as they offer excellent music and call quality, active noise cancelling for peaceful listening, and long battery life; however, they may not be as portable as earbuds. On the other hand, the Moondrop Blessing 3, while not featuring wireless connectivity or active noise cancelling, provides a balanced audio experience and is better suited for wired listening with high-fidelity sources, particularly with the option of using high-quality cables. Consider the Moondrop if you prefer earbuds for portability and don't mind the lack of wireless convenience or noise cancelling. Give Feedback
