Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Blind at none against SoundEcho's 1. The Blind also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). SoundEcho's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
