Choose the Moondrop Blessing 3 if you prioritize excellent sound quality, music listening, and have a preference for a more traditional earbud design with a focus on audio fidelity. However, keep in mind that they lack wireless capability, are not the best for calls or exercise, and their microphone quality is poor. Alternatively, the Shokz OpenMove headphones are a more affordable option that offer very good mic quality, are sweatproof and dustproof, making them suitable for exercise, and provide an open design allowing for situational awareness. Their sound quality is not as good and they are not optimal for music or TV due to their bone conduction design, which sacrifices audio quality for awareness and comfort. 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."

Lily Katz | May 2023
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
