MOONDROP Blessing 3

The MOONDROP Blessing 3 are very good for neutral sound. They have a flat sound profile that follows our Harman-based target curve quite well. They can reproduce bass quite well. That said, a dip in the mid-mid nudges vocals and instruments to the back of the mix, although they still sound natural overall, while a recessed treble dulls sibilants a bit. Since they're in-ear headphones, they also struggle to create a wide and immersive passive soundstage. On the upside, they deliver bass and treble consistently across reseats.

Product details

  • 2DD + 4BA Advanced Hybrid Triple-Frequency Division:<br> Blessing 3 continues the physical frequency division framework of previous versions through the use of state-of-the-art 3D printing. It utilizes a new horizontally-opposed double-dynamic bass driver module that delivers higher dynamic range and lower dynamic nonlinear distortion than previous versions.<br> Improved implementation of hybrid frequency division has further optimized the continuity and smoothness of the mid-highs, ensuring ultra-high detail. Combined with a brand-new bass module, the result is a full-bodied and authentically natural sound quality.
  • H.O.D.D.D.U.S.- Horizontally-Opposed 2DD Module Based on 3D Printing Technology:<br> The new scientifically-designed horizontally-opposed double dynamic driver module further demonstrates the advantages of the hybrid earphone in bass dynamics.<br> H.O.D.D.D.U.S. (Horizontally Opposed Dual Dynamic Drivers Unit System) uses dual 10mm dynamic drivers arranged closely and symmetrically using 3D-printed modular components. The components form a physical band-pass filter comprising two independent filtering structures and damping devices, thereby facilitating acoustic adjustment.
  • 3D-Printed High-Precision Acoustic Filtering Nozzle Structure:<br> As in previous versions, frequency division in Blessing 3 is performed by both a physical filter and a crossover circuit, the physical filter consisting of a compact and efficient 3D-printed acoustic structure.<br> The frequency division design of Blessing 3 is the result of a long period of repeated experimentation and modification that has resulted in a doubling of the parameters and accuracy of the earlier Blessing 2, and even better acoustic indices.
  • Eye-Catching Stainless Steel Faceplate:<br> The brand-new Blessing 3 faceplate features an eye-catching interplay of light and shadow, achieved by precision CNC machining followed by meticulous hand-polishing of the esthetically satisfying angular design.
  • Interchangeable Cable Design Rich Playability:<br> Blessing 3 uses a universal 0.78 interchangeable cable, which allows users to replace the cable with, among other options, upgraded cables for monitoring, cables with microphones for calling/gaming, and Bluetooth cables for outdoor listening.

PROS

+ Comfortable, premium design.
+ Outstanding frequency response consistency.

CONS

- Bad passive soundstage.
