Moondrop Blessing 3 in-Ear Earphones 2DD+4BA Hybrid Triple-Range Frequency Division in-Ear Monitors 0.78-2pin IEM Earbuds

I bought these for surgical precision audio when using Ableton Live and they deliver. NOTE, to get the full potential of these IEMs, get the silver plated + Graphene Earphone Cables by GUcraftsman in 4.4mm along with Youkamoo 1/4" TRS 6.35mm Male to 4.4mm Balanced Female Headphone Adapter Cable on amazon, day and night difference you wont regret it. I will admit, it's not a MUST but if you're paying this much for IEMs you'll probably be glad you did if you're a music producer. If you don't you'll be fine though.Packaging is 5/5 amazing, I'm saving the box and art it came with, the cable it comes with looks beautiful but in my opinion robs the sound quality of these IEMs. Out the box expect professional studio quality IEMs, this means these don't deliver loud* bass audio (unless you invest in the cables mentioned previously), these don't sound as "fun" as an LG gaming headset or Google Pixel Buds or Air Pods, whatever you decide to do though they get the job done very well for what their intended use is for.I did a little hunting on Googles Gemini to find a replica of the old Sony XBA-40; these were my babies back in the day and I made my best mixes with these. Sadly, my puppy chewed up the cables on these and sense you can't detach the IEM from the cables it was lots of money down the drain on a perfect set of IEMs. So, if you know what those sounded like, these sound better then them. I use a FIIO K5 Pro DAC, and, while plugged into that, I tested them out on Call of Duty Warzone in the shooting range and when reloading I heard sounds I didn't hear before. While mixing, it was like ASMR in real life... I use Arturia Pigments 6 and Synapse Dune 3 as my go to synthesizers in Ableton Live 12 Suite, and these IEMs sound perfect, you hear every little tiny detail, which is helpful because a lot of times the good stuff is often hidden, waiting to have some light shined onto them in the audio. This is like having the ability to reach into the voids of space and pull out the beautiful hidden sparks.UPDATE: so these sound really good and producing electronic music has been my thing for 20+years so I went the extra mile, researched on Gemini again, and ended up pairing these IEM with the SMSL C200PRO USB DAC Amp. These two are known for sharp, detailed, surgical precision audio. The new dac also has a 4.4mm output and there is no loss in sound quality in the IEM or speakers, sounds way better, actually, and an improvement to the bass quality, and sounds very sharp and defined. In so many words it's a complete package that has as good as good-chemistry's gonna get (don't forget previously mentioned silver cable for IEM too). I could play video games with these but these are my babies and they are reserved for creation, these are overkill and way too good for gaming, id never, IMO. I feel set for the next 15+ years ❤️. Again, these IEM and DAC were consulted with Gemini and myself in search for surgical precision audio for music producing(electronic genres) and these were the most suggested. Sure there are pricier IEM but typically the more expensive ones lean towards instrumental or classical type music. The DAC is very spot on, anything "more" than this DAC and it's a hair of a difference, so, benefit yourself with that information and relish it, life is short! Don't forget to install drivers with it if you get the DAC.

Having tested a range of IEMs and headphones, I keep coming back to Moondrop as one of my favorite brands—and this model doesn’t disappoint.While some criticize these IEMs for their lack of deep bass, I still prefer them for their exceptional treble clarity and incredibly crisp vocals. Compared to other IEMs—and even AirPods Pro, which do offer better bass—this Moondrop model stands out in the upper ranges. If bass is a priority, you can still enhance it using an equalizer (Spotify’s built-in EQ works well if you don’t have a dedicated one).Pros:Excellent treble detailClear, separated vocals—great for songs with layered vocals or complex mixesDecent passive noise isolation despite no active noise cancellationCons:The included cable feels flimsy and may not hold up with heavy useThe included hard case is roomy, but the zipper is low quality and may break after extended useStock ear tips are okay, but may loosen over time and even get stuck in your ear—replacing them is likely necessaryOverall, if you’re looking for detailed, high-end sound at a reasonable price and are willing to tweak the EQ a bit for bass, these IEMs are a fantastic value.

Having tested various IEMs and headphones, Moondrop is one of my favorite brands and these IEMs themselves are amazing.Receiving backlash due to poor bass range (when it’s within their capability to produce), I still prefer this IEM due to the higher treble range and more crisp and clear vocals than other IEMs (for reference, airpod pros have a better bass than this IEM, but that is the only area this IEM is lacking). With an equalizer you can produce still decent bass (spotify has a built-in function within their settings if you can’t afford an external one).Pros:•Great treble range•Specifically crisp vocals where you can hear overlapping voices easily within properly mixed songs•Decent outside audio blockage despite no noise cancellationCons:•Flimsy Chord•Zipper case is spacious and hard cover, but the zipper is poor quality and may break after ~50 uses•The earbud nozzle tips are decent, but expect them to remain stuck in your ear after some usage, causing you to exchange them for new tipsOverall, this IEM is amazing, but the accessories are rather lacking. For reference, Moondrop Kato (~190$) had an amazing chord that came with a smaller case, but a case that didn’t break because it was magnetic (unlike this case, which was amazing up until it broke). Other IEMs also have a more decent matte finish, whereas these ones may leave fingerprints on the outside of them, but overall I still rather like the design.Keeping this in mind, if you want an IEM with the same quality, but better bass then you may have to pay 200$ more and get a better IEM like the Moondrop Variations.If you want a similarly priced IEM then I would recommend the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk version (not the regular ones. There are superior to those) The dusk version is very similar and has a better bass but are very slightly lacking in the treble range when compared to these.The only problem with this is that the Blessing 2 IEMs are NO LONGER being manufactured, and this is your best go to option as of now for a high quality IEM that are in stock.My recommendation would be to use this IEM with different accessories:After searching for a better chord with a decent microphone: TRIPOWIN Linsoul C8 is the best chord I could find after extensive looking. The microphone is decent (if you receive a decent pair, I had to order a replacement because my first microphone was of poor quality when I purchased mine) and the chord is very durable and provides good audio quality.SpinFit CP100 tips are great replacement tips, because the ones provided from Moondrop will eventually remain stuck in your ear after some usage. If the tips do get stuck in your ear, don’t worry; they're easy to get out.This occurs because the tips remain squeezed in your ear for an extended period and as a result they no longer stick to the nozzle (Moondrop wanted a smaller nozzle with this pair of IEMs (so they can provide additional comfort and these are more comfortable than the Blessing 2 models). As a result, there is no ledger anything to catch the tips and keep them there, thus you’ll need a tighter pair of fitted tips so they will remain on the nozzle.I also used a backup case when mine broke and I have another more durable hard cover case on the way.TL;DRMoondrop Blessing 3 is an amazing IEM for the price although it is slightly lacking in the bass end compared to higher end IEMs or their Blessing 2 version.Since there are no available similar IEMs being manufactured or longer in stock, it’s hard to find IEMs for the price that will have as good of quality. Anyone wanting a better IEM with bass should look at their ~500$ Moondrop Variations IEM or consider buying a similarly cost pair from Sennheiser, Shure, or Thieaudio.I would recommend this IEM for personal use or a gift as long as the provided accessories are replaced with more durable options (you can find my recommendations on amazon as well).Although this may lead some to give the product a 4/5 stars, the Moondrop Blessing 3 IEMs themselves are of top quality for its price, comfortability, and has allotted me already hundred upon hundreds of hours of high audio quality listening. I would recommend this product.

The right earpiece started having a crackling sound which gets worse the louder volume is. The support refuses to respond to my contact requests and Amazon did not help get my product replaced either. I enjoyed it a lot before them a lot before the problem for a few days and was very happy with the sound. Never buying another Moondrop product again

At this price, I think it’s worth buying headphones with this sound quality!
