If you prioritize high-quality music listening in quiet environments and don't mind a wired connection, the Moondrop Blessing 3 offer excellent overall sound with the convenience of a detachable cable. However, they lack features like sweat resistance and active noise cancelling, making them less ideal for exercise or noisy places. On the other hand, the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones are more affordable and provide wireless convenience along with active noise cancelling, which is great for air travel and noisy settings. They also have a much longer battery life and are foldable for easier portability. But for music fidelity, the Soundcore may not match the acoustic performance of the Moondrop. Choose the Moondrop for top-tier sound at a premium price and stationary use, or the Soundcore for versatility and features on a budget. 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."

"The Anker Soundcore Space Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
