Design and wearing experience
With a price of more than $350, Moondrop Blessing 3 is included in the list of headphone models in the mid-fi segment. Like other competitors in the same segment, Blessing
Similar to the Blessing 2 version, the housing part of the Blessing 3 continues to be made of medical-grade resin with the advantage of light weight, high durability and being very skin-friendly, minimizing the occurrence of accidents. unwanted skin irritation. Attached to the housing is a faceplate made from stainless steel machined by CNC cutting machine and polished entirely by hand.
Unlike the flat faceplate on Blessing 2, the faceplate of Blessing 3 has a polygonal shape with many evenly spaced cross-sections. With such a design, the faceplate will reflect light and dark angles very clearly when viewed from different angles. The product name and brand name will be printed directly on the faceplate in 8-bit character format. Right above the two lines of text is a vent port that circulates air in and out of the headset. Thanks to that, the wearing feeling will be more comfortable and the sound field will also be wider.
Moondrop also cooperated with HeyGears to design a 3D sound chamber for Blessing 3 with the advantage of anti-vibration and reduced signal distortion. Even the sound duct on Moondrop Blessing 3 is 3D printed. For those with large ears, Blessing 3 provides a very comfortable wearing experience, especially when users switch to using Spinfit W1 eartips. Fitting your ears will become more difficult if your ear shape is a bit small.
A huge upgrade point on Moondrop Blessing 3 is that the cables have been built better. Not only is it more durable and sturdy, the Blessing 3 cable also feels much more premium than the cable on the Blessing 2. The cable continues to use a 0.78mm 2-pin connector and a 3.5mm jack. The wire cores inside the cable are made of silver-plated copper, so they provide extremely good signal transmission efficiency.
Driver configuration and sound quality
Still continues to use the hybrid configuration driver system, but now Moondrop Blessing 3 has added a dynamic driver. Thus, Blessing 3 will have 2 dynamic drivers and 4 Balanced Armature drivers in each ear. The most special feature of this driver system lies in the pair of dynamic drivers placed symmetrically horizontally. And Moondrop named this structure H.O.D.D.D.U.S (short for Horizontally Opposed Dual Dynamic Driver Unit System).
The effect that this structure brings is that the bass range has better dynamics, and the non-linear distortion will be much lower than its predecessor. The fact that the dynamic driver’s speaker membrane is made from paper also enhances its shock absorption ability. BA drivers will be responsible for reproducing the mid/treble ranges.
And as usual, the sound quality of Blessing 3 will continue to be tuned according to Moondrop’s famous VDSF Target Response curve. In terms of parameters, Moondrop Blessing 3 operates at an impedance of 14.8Ohm, has a sensitivity of 120dB and a frequency response range of 20Hz – 20kHz.
Moondrop Blessing 3 will have a detailed and bright sound quality. The treble strip possesses high sharpness but does not have a metallic timbre and does not create unpleasant sib sounds. The decay process happens quite quickly, making everything more detailed and sharper. The treble range is well extended and brings more air to the soundstage.
The mid range is adjusted in a neutral direction, with high precision and detail. The vocal part sounds very natural but a bit thin because the midbass part is not really thick. In addition, the upper mid part is emphasized better, which means the female vocal part will sound better and more attractive than the male vocal part. When first opening the box, listeners will sometimes feel that the female vocal part is a bit fake. This will be completely resolved when users burn-in the headset within 48 hours.
Compared to its predecessor, Blessing 3 has slightly better bass performance. Subbass has quite good rumble, goes deep, has fast response speed and has great texture. But the midbass is a bit lacking in volume. And this unintentionally causes the male vocal part to lack a bit of thickness and lyrical emotion. The bass range is well controlled so it does not encroach on the mid range. Focusing on bass quality rather than bass quantity makes Blessing 3 not a headset for bassheads.
In addition to the ability to retrieve extremely detailed details, Moondrop Blessing 3 also possesses excellent stage staging capabilities. Although the soundstage has a decent width and depth, the sound imaging is very sharp and top notch. The ability to position instruments extremely accurately, accompanied by the ability to separate detailed layers, allows listeners to clearly feel the specific sound quality of each instrument. It would be great if you use Blessing 3 to enjoy acoustic music or orchestral music.
