If you prioritize overall sound quality and are on a somewhat tighter budget, the Moondrop Blessing 3 might be preferable, though they offer less comfort than the Sennheiser IE600. On the other hand, the IE600 provides very good comfort and is slightly lighter, which could be beneficial for longer listening sessions. Both have detachable cables and poor built-in controls, which means you’ll need your device handy to adjust volume or tracks. Neither support wireless features, so if that’s important to you, these may not be suitable. The IE600 has a slight edge in portability since it's lighter and comes with a medium-sized carrying case, whereas the Blessing 3 has a large case. Neither is particularly well-suited for exercise due to a lack of sweatproof certification, nor do they offer features like active noise cancelling for air travel. If you are an audiophile looking for the best sound for music and TV without considering cost, Sennheiser IE600 might be the better choice, but for a balance between cost and high-quality audio, the Moondrop Blessing 3 is a strong contender.

"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."
