I’m using Airpods Pro 2 for few months; rain, snow, etc. - no issues so far. ANC is great too. If you want to use over-ear headphones in rain/snow, better buy 30EUR ones and replace as they break; meanwhile earbuds hide under the hoodie/jacket/beanie and don’t get wet themselves.

Used Apple Dongle with Blessing 2. Bought Fiio KA1, used for two weeks, returned Fiio KA1, back to Apple Dongle. No difference :D

I assumed tuning as frequency response; though we then enter the woods of “audiophile terms”

That sounds rather dismissive - soundstage, instrument separation, etc. matters too. IEMs have all the same things as headphones, dismissing all such characteristics and going with “tuning is the only thing” sounds incorrect.

I’ve tried various IEMs ranging from $20 to $1000, and tuning is definitely not the only important thing.

As a part-time copywriter, can confirm and say that marketing copies are the worst 😭 You have only few sentences or words to work with and need to suit incredibly wide audience.

Though this exact advertisement does make you pay attention to it for longer and remember the headphones for longer. "There’s no such thing as bad publicity” huh

Thank you, edited my comment!

Blessing 2 dusk is not available anymore.

It’s been released almost 4 years ago though (2019 December) and from what’s going around, Blessing 3 Dusk is coming soon.
