The Moondrop Blessing 3 earbuds provide excellent overall sound quality and are designed for high fidelity audio experiences, suitable for music enthusiasts. They offer a detachable cable and balanced audio with additional cable purchase; however, their microphone quality is poor. Conversely, the Turtle Beach Recon 70 headphones have best-in-class mic quality and are highly suitable for calls, meetings, and gaming. They are a budget-friendly option with very good sound quality, yet they lack a detachable cable and advanced features like active noise cancelling. If you prioritize immersive music sessions, choose the Moondrop Blessing 3, but if you need a reliable headset for communication and gaming at a lower cost, the Turtle Beach Recon 70 would be a better fit.

"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."

Sam Moore | September 2022
"There aren’t many considerations to make here. The Turtle Beach Recon 70 sounds decent, offers solid chat audio, feels good to wear over long periods, and it works everywhere. If you’re in the market for a simple plug-and-play option, you could do a whole lot worse (and spend a whole lot more money). Regardless, if getting something cheap that works well is the only thing you care about, this is a great option."
