If you prioritize excellent overall sound quality and are comfortable with a wired connection, the Moondrop Blessing 3 offers premium audio, particularly for music, with the convenience of a detachable cable and customizable cables for balanced audio. However, they lack features such as wireless connectivity, active noise cancelling, and an optimal experience for calls and workouts. Conversely, the Sennheiser HD 250BT headphones are less expensive and provide very good sound quality with active features like app equalizer customization, low latency for gaming, wireless connectivity, longer battery life, and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. They are suited for a variety of uses, including TV and video, gaming, and air travel, but are not as portable due to their form factor. 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."

"As a lightweight, robust audio provider with a long battery life, the Sennheiser HD 250BT offer a lot for their price: very good Bluetooth codecs, an app connection and an extremely understated design. These headphones may not be among the most comfortable, but they deliver adequate sound – without overdriving or distortion."
