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

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 cancellation Cons: •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 tips Overall, 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;DR Moondrop 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.

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.

Overall, amazing sound, great earbuds. I ain't a expert reviewer or sound expert nor I own many pairs of earbuds, but compared to the Aria I was using before, there is a big noticeable difference in quality. I don't know how to describe it other than it sounds more open, like I can tell each instrument in more detail, more separate, a "more open stage". The price is steep, but so far I am very happy with them. I have them plugged in to a Schiit Stack where I can control the EQ my self, I tend to boost up the lows and highs, giving me my favorite sound, so it may not be the "out of the box" experience, but compared to my last pair they are obviously way better. I recommend to anyone that uses earbuds instead of a full headset. I intend to keep them plugged in to my desk computer, not traveling with them and such. Some downsides, none to do with the sound: *There are no instructions on which way the cables are suppose to go in on the earbuds, nor they had instructions online. There was no instruction video on youtube on how to do it, just reviewers talking about the sound. I just copied the orientation of the earbuds to one of the videos and plugged in. Which leads to the next part: *Man, I had a hard time plugging in the cable to the earbuds. I had to use so much force to put them in, I thought I must be doing something wrong. The metal "prongs" look flimsy, and I did not want to damage them with the force I had to use to put them in. Since there was no instructions online, I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. I only found one video online of someone putting the prongs in and they did it so easy, made me think mine were defective, maybe fake ones or something. But once I manage to put one in, the other one did as well. Took me like 30 minutes just to do this. However, once they were in, I dared to take one apart and it went in a lot easier the second time. THIS is what makes me take off a star, they should have instructions, and since its hard to plug in, feels like something that can break easy, ruining the expensive set. *The cable it comes with is a bit short. Most of the time it is not a big issue, but when moving around to pick up something from the floor, they snatch away from my ear. *They are a big bigger and heavier than the Aria I had. You get used to it right away, but it means you have to have some perfectly fitting earbuds tips so they stay put. They added a lot of different size tips on the box, but they are not organized, all in one pile. I had to go through switch them back and forwards until I found the perfect fit. If they would be organized in pairs, it would be a lot more helpful. So overall, expensive, but great sound, and the negatives are not deal breakers. Again, took off one star at how hard it was to plug in and with no instructions, seems like an easy way for the end-user to break them before they even get to use them once.

After using these IEMs for about four months, here's my assessment: Pros: - Excellent build quality with a robust and ergonomic design. - Exceptional audio depth and frequency response. - High-quality sound. Cons: - The stock cable's pins are weak and lose friction quickly. - The polished metal casing scratches easily if not handled meticulously. - Stock ear tips are subpar. - No modularity for acoustic filtering. - The pin ports wear down easily and have a flawed design prone to breakage (not recessed like other IEMs). - No microphone included with the stock cable. - The stock cable's 3.5mm plug bends easily compared to aftermarket cables. - Most concerning, after four months of use, the left IEM produces an unbearable rattling/buzzing noise when playing bass. Overall, despite the initial appeal, these IEMs are not worth the investment due to poor quality control.

The Moondrop Blessing 3 exceeded my expectations in every way. The sound quality is simply outstanding — crisp highs, rich mids, and deep, controlled bass. I use them primarily for gaming on PlayStation and PC, and the level of detail they deliver is insane. What truly impressed me is the noise isolation. Once I put them on, outside noise practically disappears, allowing full immersion whether I’m gaming or listening to music. The build quality feels premium, and the fit is comfortable for long sessions. If you’re looking for high-fidelity IEMs that deliver both performance and value, this is it. Highly recommended.

Excellent set of IEMs for someone who doesn't mind dropping a good bit on headphones. I upgraded from the Blessing2 and the difference is night and day. These are tuned to have good bass and great highs. Of course, the bass isn't like say the AirPods Pro and such but it's definitely noticeable. These are best when paired with an amp/DAC. The included 0.78mm 2 pin cable is alright, but I would recommend getting an aftermarket one. Memory foam ear tips are a must though, as the included ones can cause ear fatigue pretty quickly. The IEMs themselves are pretty comfortable, I don't feel any discomfort until at least 4+ hours of use but even then it's still very tolerable. The design of the box is pretty cool, though might not be for everyone since it has an anime character but I personally think it makes for a great display piece. Overall, extremely satisfied with the Blessing3 by far.

I want to start off by saying I absolutely love these headphones, they feel great in the ear, they have a really nice weight to them, the material feels premium, the cable's awesome, and the sound quality was spectacular! The issue 100% boils down to price. I bought a pair of KZ ZS10 Pros to compare alongside ($390 vs $49) and that's what this boiled down to. I compared the sound quality of these two headphones both on my MacBook, swapping between the two earphones looking for sound quality differences and I couldn't find anything of note. The Moondrops needed 2 more clicks of volume up to match the ZS10 Pros but that's actually a feature (the lowest volume on my Mac is slightly louder than I'd like on the ZS10s.) The ZS10s also felt less comfortable, but nice quality still. The Moondrops definitely beat them out on comfort. That said, the nicer feel and sound of the Moondrops can't justify the price tag. Maybe people with insane hearing can see the difference (and I would usually put myself in this category) but whatever differences, the quality was not 8x better.

these sound amazing. the dual DD set up with the two drivers sitting opposite vertically really give the bass a lot of thump and tactility without being crazy bass heavy. more than anything these are very clear and detailed. i would say they are very clean and neutral. imaging and soundstage are a strong point as well. i think they are beautiful, probably my favorite looking iem with the clear shell and metal faceplate. the included cable was not very good, i replaced it immediately but overall i really enjoy these.
