Moondrop - Blessing 3

I have used Supermix4 and they are 8ndeed very nice especially in fps. Then I switched to Blessings3 which are also very nice but also better for music.

Depending on your budget: Blessings 3 > Supermix 4 > EM6L > AS24Pro > Thruthear Red

I can help you describe how the iems sounds on what I had tried. Take it as a grain of salt because this is just my impressions and opinion. Use it as a guide. 1. Moondrop Blessing 3. Deep subbass focus makes it rumbly rather than thumpy. Mids are very neutral. The lack of midbass can make it sound thin. Treble is forward. 2. Moondrop Variation. Harman. Huge subbass. Mids can get really thin. Treble is bright. The bass is somewhat on the blunt side. The dynamic and decay is really great making it sound speaker like. 3. Xenns Mangird Top. My top pick for under $600. A smoother harman. Subbass focus with a presence of midbass. Makes the mids sound more thick but not thin or bloated. Treble is also much smoother. Hope you find this helpful.

Theres something about the Blesing 3 I really enjoy.

The Supermix 4 when using it for general video watching. The mid scoop really messes with vocal audio. The Blessing 3 for how bright / sibilant and clinical it was. I think these two are my favorite IEMs in terms of looks and design, but their sounds were disappointing.

Dusk/ blessing 3 or Hype 4 for me, i didnt tried yet Meteor but try to look if you like it

Did you buy the cable? Be aware not all 2 pin cables fit the Deuce. If pins are not long enough, they won’t fit. Ask first the manufacturer or someone who have this combo. I broke my Deuce because of the cable, the fine piece of resin around the connectors broke when I pulled the stock cable. But it keeps functioning properly. I don’t use the stock cable, i don’t like it at all. I am using Hola’s cable and I am thinking about buying NiceHCK red lava. Or the black cable from FatFreq. I use Divinus Velvet wide bore and they are very comfy. Have you tried those? I am not bass head but I really like this set. It made me jiggle the first time I used them 😄 because of the amount of bass. They are fun and clear Edit: oh and the impedance adapter made them worse for my ears. I use the impedance adapter for my Blessing 3 😄☺️

About compare Blessing 3 and Deuce, I can’t really put it into words, I am not skilled with that. Let me try to write something short. I can tell you B3 is very clear and detailed and Deuce is more “meaty”. After almost a year wit B3, Deuce was overwhelming for me the first time I listen to it. It was like too much of everything. I am good with Deuce treble but B3 treble is a little bit spice. Sometimes I have to swap sets, for example Ella Fitzgerald singing with only a guitar, B3 is piercing and Deuce do it better. Although for that particular album (Fitzgerald and Pass… again!) I use Aful Explorer. Look, I wrote this to a guy who asked me how was Deuce with metal “The song Raining Blod by slayer, deuce had a problem with the guitars. I try the same song with Blessing 3 and I heard every details of the guitars. But I didn’t expect deuce had same tech capacity of blessing 3. But besides of that particular detail, the rest is fine.” I hope I explain myself

Moondrop Blessing 3 and if you want more bass, you can easily EQ. For me is perfect out of the box and I believe you will appreciate it and easily EQ it to your taste

It is good out of the box. I love it. But in this particular case the person have access to EQ that’s why I mentioned EQ

As some already said, if your are happy that’s enough. There is no point in comparing side by side. If you are in the store and you can do it, fine. But if you already bought them and already enjoy them, don’t torture yourself thinking if this is bad or not. It’s good for you, that’s enough. I once bought Elysian Pilgrim and I absolutely hate them. Most people adore them, I don’t. I returned them. I enjoy my Blessing 3 but I am always thinking what would be better? It’s normal think that way. But definitely if I like my Blessing 3 I won’t change them for a ghost. I have read a lot of people who love the DaVinci and they upgraded from Ikko. Trust in yourself

The Moondrop Blessing 3 would be my choice for a balanced sound and an accurate midrange, which I prefer over the V Sound.

I love my Blessing 3, and I'm a fan of Moondrop in general. To my ear, the B3 sounds amazing. It easily compares with IEMs twice the price. That's based on attending SoCal CanJam this year and a/b comparing IEMs of all price ranges to IEMs in my small collection. The Blessing 3 has a clarity and tone that make it one of my favorite sub-$500 IEMs. In addition to the B3, I have Variations as well, which is also an outstanding Moondrop IEM. I also own the Little White, which I love. It makes my IEMs portable in a format I prefer to ear-hooks. Also, I own and enjoy the Moondrop Golden Ages TWS. It lacks some features but makes up for that with its comfort, quality planar drivers, and excellent tuning. I'm sure some people just buy Moondrop because of the Waifus and the marketing. It's cute, yes, but what I'm impressed with isn't their marketing. What makes me a fan is the number of innovative products and audio formats they come out with. I've heard of some QC issues for Moondrop. But frankly, many companies are far worse on QC than Moondrop. I've had no technical issues with their products and use them almost daily.

To my ear the bass is punchy and crisp on the Blessing 3. The B3 can pump out some powerful bass when the mix requires it. It has two DD drivers per IEM in an interesting configuration designed to enhance bass detail and transient response. Overall, however, B3 has a neutral/bright reference tuning out of the box. It does take EQ very well if you want to bring more bass. It's not an IEM for a bass head, though. The B3 strength lies in its midrange clarrity and detail retrieval.

The B3 midrange clarrity is next level. It even surpasses Variations in this regard. It's like an HD 650 level of clarrity, but brighter without the "Sennheiser veil."

I am using moon drop blessing 3 and they are so good imho. Also using Artis war

i own the blessing 3s and the 7hz timeless among others and i still really love my tanchjim ola i just really love how vocals sound on it.

I have a collection with those composers and many more, over 2000 albums of TV shows, movies and games. I currently use the Blessing 3 with an eq bass boost and the clarity listening to the tracks are amazing, I'm stunned every time I put them in my ears, the bass is very articulate with the boost, very pleasing. They really do put a smile on my face. If you don't want to eq then just go for the Dusk, I have them too but I don't need to use them while my B3 keep going so they are there as a backup. You will be very happy with the Dusk though.

I'm new as well. I've only got one pair currently: the Moondrop Blessing 3 (successor to the B2 you have). I've had two other pairs before I got those: MyLiveWires 2-drivers (from a small company that went belly-up a while back and I ended up getting rid of them simply because the custom molds weren't done correctly and didn't seal well) and Westone W40s (flimsy nozzle broke off one ear so I tossed them out). None of these were less than $200, with the W40s only being that much because they were on clearance (normal retail was $400). The B3s were $320. The best sounding of these to me? The B3 by a country mile, and that would still be true if the W40s had been at their original price. The two biggest factors seem to be the number of drivers and the tuning. The Live Wires are obscure so I doubt there's info out there, but there wasn't anything particularly special sounding about them. Although the W40s had some significant separation thanks to having 4 drivers, the tuning in the lows, low mids and mids was crowded sounding and took away from the clarity. The B3 made me hear details for the very first time on songs that I had been listening to for over 20 years. It's not only got a much more neutral tuning than the W40s but also has 2 additional drivers for a total of 6. Although I've only read about them rather than heard them for myself, the B2 is arguably even MORE neutral overall than the B3 based on its frequency response and what others have said, though the B2's low end isn't as strong and I've heard there's not quite as much detail clarity. Still a well-regarded IEM, though. BTW, I wouldn't quite call any IEMs under $400 expensive, though anything $200 and over certainly isn't cheap. What constitutes cheap and expensive are a bit subjective. That said, if a more expensive pair of IEMs has fewer drivers and/or a less favorable tuning than a cheaper pair, the cheaper pair is a win on both the quality and price level, so it's not ALWAYS more expensive = automatically better (as seen with my example of a hypothetically full-priced W40 vs. the B3).

I don't own the May, but based on the frequency response, the Blessing 3 would give you more forwardness in the upper mids, which is often associated with vocal forwardness, while being reasonably similar to the May in the treble. What you're missing with the B3 is some bass, but if you have access to EQ, that can be done very easily. I used them with the stock frequency response for metal for a very long time, although nowadays I EQ them to JM1 target. You're also likely to perceive them as sounding more technical coming from the May. I think they do great in subjective qualities like imaging, separation, etc.

Never tried dusk but had the blessing 3 before getting the tea pros and i instantly sold my blessing. The tea pros are tuned insanely well and are crazy good for fps games

I feel like the tea pro balances out sounding neutral while having a good amount of bass. Other sets I tried were also good like volume s and blessing 3 but they lacked in other departments. Tea pro is a very good all rounder

Qudelix 5K. You can never go wrong with having a Qudelix 5K. It's just that good. Blind buy immediately. IEM on the other hand is tricky, since people have different preferences. Complete noobs tend to love bass, so maybe something like KZ Castor? Otherwise Truthear Hexa, preferably with Qudelix 5K. The Hexa is pretty neutral and can be boring for some, but it makes a great base for messing with EQ. Just tune it however you want. You can EQ to change tuning, but you cannot EQ technicality. Hexa fares pretty well in that regard though, one more reason to get it. Kato / Kadenz is also a safe blind buy, engaging yet pleasant with no obvious fault. Similar capability to the Hexa, but arguably not as "boring". If you want to upgrade, Blessing 2 is a no-brainer. It accepts EQ well and has awesome technical performance. Safe blind buy in my opinion. I would even recommend the Blessing 3 on the condition that you are open to EQ because out-of-the-box its sound signature is quite niche. Still a relatively safe blind buy option (if you already have Qudelix 5K).

EQ is magic, but not for all IEMs. Luckily Blessing 3 accepts EQ like a champ! +20dB to bass without noticeable (still measurable) distortion. +10dB or less produces no distortion at all.

DaVinci and B3 have similar price/performance, just different tuning styles. B3 wins hands-down on detail retrieval and clarity, while DaVinci runs circle around B3 when it comes to (sub) bass. I tried Monarch Mk2 for about 30 minutes and did not like it. The nozzles are enormous, very uncomfortable. Sound quality... is ok? Monarch didn't sound any more detailed than B3 - I couldn't really hear the praised macrodynamic. Tuning style is definitely more pleasant and ordinary. The bad fit really distracted me from enjoying it. Moondrop Kato and Truthear Timeless have similar level of technical performance - quite close to B3. Personally prefer Kato's more balanced signature. Hexa is a cheaper alternative, but it might sound a bit too neutral and thus boring (not necessarily a bad thing, easily fixable with EQ) Planar IEMs sound harsh on the treble, especially the S12 (I disliked it). I don't understand the hype around Truthear Nova and Simgot Supermix 4. I think the latter is fine for the price, about the same P/P as Kato; but Nova is just so blurry, subpar detail retrieval even when its bass is pretty light. Other IEMs under $150 are not interesting enough to me.

i went balls deep first one in and got moondrop blessing 3, never picking up a gaming headset again

I have really good headphones (not summit fi but good, Arya stealth, focal MG and others) and good iem’s (blessing 3, kiwi ears orchestra) I still prefer the sound of my better headphones, but in a price vs quality ratio the IEMs are wild good! 300 IEM easily beat out 1000 headphones on technicalities

Sony MDR-EX800ST I have 2 sets for the longest time I didn't do any of the mods that could be done for it but I've used them since 2018 and they're the best all around iem. Bass bumps hard but clear. Currently using the blessing 3 with an eq and foam tips don't like it as much comfort wise but sound stage feels larger and I can make out more details.

I like the blessings alot because you can eq them and they have enough good hardware to where it can sound exactly how you prefer I use foam tips and I tried to get the mesh filter but the filters are so garbage. I have them in from 7am to 7pm every day. Comfort wise it could be better but sound wise I love how much of a chameleon they can be.

personally I would go for either the quintet or s12 pro. reason : the supermix 4 and quintet are quite similar. the quintet has the better tuning for my taste. The nozzle of the blessing is too big at 6,5mm . The s12 pro is a Planar (takes eq well and Crin has it in his measurements. Easy EQ with squiglink). wouldn't spend the 45 bucks extra for the heyday. can't comment on the P1 max or Myer CKLVX Edit: I somehow missed your text (only saw the pic). If you are treble sensible, I wouldn't go for the quintet or s12 pro. the CKLVX seems the most reasonable to me. Another Option would be the Letshuoer S08 has a a smoother treble and a pretty comfortable shell/nozzle.
