If you are looking for wired earbuds with excellent build and sound quality for music and TV, and don't mind the lack of wireless capability, the Moondrop Blessing 3 is suitable, but they are not optimal for calls, meetings, or exercise. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum Sport provides a very good wireless sound experience with added features such as active noise cancelling, sweat and dust resistance, and additional health-tracking features, making them ideal for calls, meetings, gaming, and exercise. However, they may not provide the same balanced audio quality without equalization options that the Moondrop offers. Give Feedback

How the Moondrop Blessing 3 and the Sennheiser Momentum Sport compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
