“I'll probably have reservations with how thin the presentation might be”— @vianhoho19 on YouTube
“It really doesn't feel at all like a upgrade. In fact the OG Blessing 2 intimacy is better than the Blessing 3 and a little more body and yes the blessing 3 is too lean.”— @TheChurch-ArethePeople on YouTube
“I honestly think this one is a bit overhyped. The lack of mid-bass with the excess lower treble exacerbates the thinness of vocals and hurts instrument timbre”— @miscwork-qb7pd on YouTube
“Everyones praising it for its technicality but forget to mention the harshness. Its definitely a low-mid volume set, which cuts away at the fun factor to me.”— @Tsuichi on YouTube
“I can't say it's a worthy successor (for me). If you already have b2 no need to rush to upgrade”— @momon8738 on YouTube
“as an owner of B3, the isobaric DD is almost non-existent for the bass”— @Mark-ck9yf on YouTube
“As usual no bass. It needs bass”— @mokisan on YouTube
“nah not competitive very close at details to NOVA and worse tuned”— @Razeri on YouTube
“B3 soundstage getting cramped plus the imaging wasn't as good as B2 that let me down of it”— @EGxSenSei on YouTube
“Idk I personally find the blessing 3 too bassy”— @The_Taco_Thief on YouTube
“God, yet another mid-bass/lower-mids cut. How original. To the bin of "don't care" this goes”— @SzymonSaysStuff on YouTube
“as soon as I tried the Tea Pros, I instantly sold these. Also the fit is not as good as the Tea Pros.”— @sicka9048 on YouTube
Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“Maybe u did something wrong thought? If u want to deboost highs like above 10k u want to use high shelf filter. I'm just not really familiar with DSP eq but I suppose it's parametric.”— DesTiny_- on Reddit
“You have the OG olinas? How do they compare to the blessing 2, 3, and variations? I'm sort of in the mood for an IEM switch up from single DD. Also, have you heard the orchestra lite?”— daddyyeslegs on Reddit
“Thanks for the review! I have a question though. How would you compare EQed B3 to SA6 ultra? I know they're in a different price bracket but I'm curious nonetheless.”— reluctant_engineer on Reddit
“Well some people would say the blessing 3 is brighter than neutral. So maybe try and get the opposite, something bass boosted neutral?”— Hellzyehimerik on Reddit
“Oh awesome, how do you like them? I heard they’re more like the dusk, and I kinda prefer a less bassy tuning so I decided to pass”— x9spoons on Reddit
“Eq with poweramp app. If you have ios the freedsp would be the only solution I think. Maybe you would like the dusk it it not as bright as b3 but still fairly neutral. Or other cheaper option would be truthear pure, tanchjim nora/fola”— Strong-Ad2492 on Reddit
“I really love that my Blessing 3 EQ post just became a Qudelix 5k discussion off of one line; checks out LMAO”— matt778022 on Reddit
“Blessing 3 is not better objectively. It's brighter. You want brighter? You can get a blessing 3 Nova is very linear(at least to fixtures) and well extended. If it does well on your head, there's reasonably nothing better in these qualities objectively.”— B_Y_P_R_T on Reddit
