If you prioritize wireless convenience and active noise cancelling for travel or noisy environments, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 would be a better choice, although they are bulkier for daily carry. They also offer a more comfortable experience for extended listening sessions and have better microphone quality for calls. However, if you prefer wired earbuds with a focus on sound quality for music and you don't mind a lack of features like app equalizer customization and a lower microphone quality, the Moondrop Blessing 3 would suit your needs. The Moondrop also provides a fair level of noise isolation, but it's not advisable for exercise due to the lack of sweatproof certification. Additionally, the Moondrop has a detachable cable and balanced audio capability with the right cables, which the Sennheiser doesn't offer, but it has poorer overall features for calls, gaming, and TV compared to the Sennheiser.

"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."

Christian Thomas | January 2023
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
