Our Verdict

MOONDROP Blessing 3

TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO

The MOONDROP Blessing 3 are better in-ears for neutral listening than the TRUTHEAR x Crinacle ZERO. These premium IEMs feature a hybrid driver design with two 10 mm dynamic and four balanced armature drivers. As a result, they have an extremely balanced sound across the board. They also have a better build quality and a high-quality case, so they're more suitable as an on-the-go option. That said, fans of a bass-heavy sound will likely prefer the TRUTHEAR's over-emphasized bass response.
