Наушники — Moondrop BLESSING 3

The BLESSING 3 is the third generation of Moondrop's Blessing line of hybrid in-ear monitors, priced at USD 359.99. Each side combines two dynamic drivers with four balanced armature drivers in a 2DD plus 4BA arrangement, split into three frequency bands. The shells are 3D printed and closed with polished metal faceplates, and the cable detaches at the earpiece through a standard connector.

Key specs that matter

The two dynamic drivers are 10 mm units and work together as a bass module, while the four balanced armatures cover the middle and upper bands. Moondrop gives sensitivity as 120 dB per Vrms at 1 kHz, a rating based on input voltage, and impedance as 14.8 ohm plus or minus 15 percent at 1 kHz. Distortion is specified as 0.5 percent or less at 1 kHz. The listed frequency response runs from 10 Hz to 30 kHz, with an effective range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz measured at the minus 3 dB points on an IEC 60318-4 simulator. The earpieces use 0.78 mm two-pin sockets and the stock cable ends in a 3.5 mm single-ended plug.

Engineering and use context

Compared with earlier Blessing models, the key revision is a new bass module in which the two dynamic drivers are mounted horizontally opposed, facing each other. Moondrop states that this layout gives a higher dynamic range and lower dynamic nonlinear distortion than previous versions. The overall design follows what the maker calls a classic hybrid triple-frequency division, and Moondrop claims the phase stays consistent over the whole band. The acoustic structure inside the shell is produced by high-precision 3D printing, and the shells themselves are printed from imported medical-grade resin. The stainless steel faceplate is CNC machined and then polished by hand to create its pattern of light and shadow. Accessories consist of the silver-plated cable, a storage bag, an aviation adapter, three pairs of small, medium and large silicone tips, a QC certificate and a manual.

Pairing

Its light electrical demands let the BLESSING 3 run from a phone socket, a small USB DAC or a handheld player without a separate amplifier, and the included aviation adapter covers in-flight entertainment sockets.

Alternatives

The Moondrop KATO is the brand's wired in-ear monitor built around a single ULT super-linear dynamic driver rather than a hybrid driver set, the same driver type Moondrop later carried over to its ALICE wireless earphones.
