"The B3 made me hear details for the very first time on songs that I had been listening to for over 20 years."
"in a price vs quality ratio the IEMs are wild good! ... 300 IEM easily beat out 1000 headphones on technicalities"
"Blessing 3 is also lovely. ... Blessing 3 is 80% of the Mest Mk2 for less than half of the money. ... Is it worth it for detial oriented audiophiles? By a long shot. ... I prioritize detail about all things and nothing around 100 dollars comes remotely close to Blessing 3 or Mest Mk2 to my ears. ... There's no comparison between a detail monster value in the Blessing 3 or a flagship like the Mest Mk2 vs anything 300 dollars or less. ... But I do find both the Blessing 3 and Mest Mk2 more detailed and engaging than anything in the 100-300 dollar range by a long shot."

"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."
"Blessing 3 is raw resolution, it’s crazy."

"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 ... sound wise I love how much of a chameleon they can be."
"If you like the B3 after eq with more bass or even without Eq, I don't see really a reason to upgrade."

"The B3 analog is rated as more balanced than Dusk analog. ... I was also looking for a neutral set."
"It's not only got a much more neutral tuning than the W40s"
"My preference is a very mild u shape / neutral. So maybe the Blessing 3 (neutral/mid forward) and the Mest Mk2 (Mild U shape) work better for me and my preferences."

"I find the top line are always very “clean” sounding but i personally enjoy the sound curve on the lower line models best!"
a1rwav3 1.0They have been, for a long time... I still use them sometimes when I don't have my blessings 3...
Yeah, I think I'll keep my blessings 3 for now and don't be an hype victim. Especially form someone who consider that 300 $ iems are mid level...
They are indeed bright. I don't have Tea pro to compare but they are at least as bright as my Blessings 3. But I don't find them too exhausting...
AdamoCZ 1.0Ambitious_Rain_1724 1.0I'll just say this straight up—these things are ***amazing*** However, there is a caveat. The stock tips on this are extremely horrible. It makes the IEMs extremely bright. The treble is literally piercing my ears without eartip changing. Give it some good wide bore eartips like the Coffee or (on my case) Moondrop Spring Tips and you bring out it's full potential. This is gonna be a *dumb* comparison (and thing to say). However out of all my IEMs—my Truthear Nova has the most oomph and spice. My Blessing 3 has the most clarity and detail. I'd say the Daybreak is a good middle ground. It has the right amount of spice and oomph like the Nova however with better clarity. It is **not** as clear as the Blessing 3. However, for the price range—it's really damn good. 170 USD for this is an amazing value. Regarding everything else, the accesories for this IEM are.....meh. But honestly that's fine. You can order wide bore eartips like the Spring Tips online for 10 USD. I don't expect them to make the box and accesories extra fancy due to them cutting cost to (probably) keep this IEM at a good price range. *Should you buy this?* Yeah, I would say go for it if you're willing to change eartips. And I'd say also yes if you listen to exciting types of music (J-Pop, K-Pop, video game OST) because it really does a damn job. I would check out Listener's review regarding this on the Headphones website. He explains everything much better than me. I just wanted to leave my opinion regarding this on Reddit. Anyways, thanks for listening to my IEM TED talk. Hope y'all have a good weekend!
AMDRandom 1.0Here's a graph of the [IE100 Pro and Blessing 3 from Earphones Archive (5128 Measurement)](https://earphonesarchive.squig.link/?share=JM-1_(5128)_Target,Sennheiser_IE100_Pro,Moondrop_Blessing3). IE100 Pro looks to have pretty recessed upper mids and elevated bass/treble relative to the mid range, so being v-shaped tracks. If you hear the IE100 Pro has less bass than the Blessing 3, there may be something wrong with your setup or seal. Actually the first time I've heard Hexa described as muddy. Usually people describe them as lean, neutral, or even bright. Do you mean the bass quality is not that good or something?
Areion00 1.0Wow glad to help. About this I still haven't got any info about the other competitor for this sound signature, tried the 61t butterfly, treble feels too smooth, tried the blessing 3 the bass is less boomy, and the details is not as resolving as the ck2v
Aruiu 1.0The 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.
Bayjae 1.0You probably already received your pair by now but sound is very subjective. I enjoy these iems a lot and love the tuning. i typically listen to EDM, K-pop, J-pop, R&B, Classic Rock and Metal. These iems are good enough for me and i’d say they are good for their price. They are very mellow for me and very natural sounding. I LOVE BASS and these have good enough slam for me but I wouldn’t use them if I am craving bass lol. I use my Thieaudio Hype 4 if I really want big, deep bass without it bleeding into the other frequencies. I also own Moondrop Dusk (yes the Crinacle collab), Moondrop Blessings 3, Thieaudio Hype 4, Finalaudio A4000, and on the lower end of the price bracket the Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pro 2. My personal rankings for my IEM collection (from best to worst): Hype 4 = Dusk > Blessing 3 > Daybreak > Finalaudio A4000 > KZ ZS10 Pro. Daybreaks are good for their price range but I wouldn’t say they punch above their weight. The ones i ranked ahead are more than double the price of the Daybreak so it makes sense why my rankings are like that but if you have the money for the Daybreaks then I would say go for it and keep them and if you don’t like the tuning then just return them and maybe save up for a more expensive iem? Also just an FYI, I am pretty new to the IEM scene as I used to mainly collect and use Over-ear open back headphones (I own the Sennheiser HD800s, HD600, HD6xx, AKG K712 Pro, Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro, hella Koss Porta Pros, and hella Grados). So you can take my say with a grain of salt since I am fairly new to IEMs.
bthf 1.0There aren't that many once you've ruled out Etymotic. Honestly at that 'lower than Studio 4' price range you might as well go for the Studio 4. Aful Performer 5+2 / 8: Relaxed pinna gain at 2-4kHz means reduced vocal bite; speech and 'breathiness' is sacrificed slightly for a more relaxed, pleasant presentation. Not neutral. Anecdotally, I've heard the Performer 8, the soundstage is wide but centre image is weak. Moondrop Dusk: crinacle's house sound = big bass shelf. No go for neutrality. Moondrop Blessing 3: Upper-mids/lower treble emphasized (4-6kHz) beyond neutral. Supermix 4: Harman, i.e not neutral (bass and upper-mids emphasized) Thieaudio: U-shaped is their house sound from the Hype 2 all the way to the Valhalla. Extra bass and spicy treble. Not neutral. I would add that the Hexas aren't neutral either, they have too much bass for it, it's simply masked by the fact that its bass is sloped, not a shelf. All the 'Meta' IEMs out so far also fail in the neutral bass department by having too much of it. This includes the KE4, Volume S, Mega5EST and even CrinEar's 'Reference', if his chart is to go by. Graphs are worth looking at for reference. So you only really have the Studio 4 left. That, or an IER-M7 if you could get it for cheap.
Buck-O 1.0Which Xenns? The Top Pro? The Tea Pro? Understand, I am being very vague here, and heavily biased on personal preference. Personally, for gaming... Top Pro > Astral = Tea Pro > Dog Shit > Blessing 3 For Music... Tea Pro > Astral > Top Pro > Blessing 3 I am really not a fan of the Blessing 3 because it is way too lean on bass performance. And has a Mid over Bass profile. The Astral is the most universal IEM, with the Tea Pro being a little warmer and more nuanced, and the Top Pro being a little brighter and more articulate, to a fault. For gaming and Music the Astral or Tea Pro are the safest choices, IMHO.
chezzzombie 1.0Honestly I hit this too recently, splurged on some top line stuff and honestly need to force myself to use them over some cheaper options I have. For example I picked up the Moondrop Meteors and Blessing 3’s Yet still find myself falling back to the old trusty Shire se215, kiwi ears orchestra and moondrop aria snow editions I find the top line are always very “clean” sounding but i personally enjoy the sound curve on the lower line models best! Might be what my ears are capable of hearing also. Again all subjective and YMMV Always enjoy the little sense of discovery with things like this, think finding the limit of price to returns for me is a fun thing with most hobbies i get into. Finding out for yourself is important! Now I get more excited when I find some a pair of cheap little gems that I can recommend to people looking for some IEM’s!
