After doing a lot of testing with my friends, I think we are on to something here. The emblems the speaker sells may contain hidden buffs and these are the approximations of what we think they do after a bunch of testing and positive results. however, this could be a wild goose chase... so BUYER BEWARE
Blessing of IV: Higher loot/glimmer when opening chests
Blessing of the Ancients: Higher chance of drops/glimmer from majors or ultras (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Gifted: Higher drop rate/cryptarch conversion chance
Blessing of the Joined: Higher drop/glimmer chance when in a group (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Knight: Higher drop/glimmer chance from Hive (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Sentinel: Higher drop/glimmer chance from Vex (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Skeptic: Higher loot chance on end game rolls
Blessing of the Speaker: Higher drop/glimmer chance the higher light level you are (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Unmade: Chance for more Mats when dismantling
Blessing of the Watcher: Higher drop/glimmer chance when using your super (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of the Zealot: Higher drop/glimmer chance from The Fallen (w/ glimmer consumable applied for glimmer)
Blessing of Worlds: Chance of more materials looted in game
Edit: Right now most of this is Theory but i have tested Blessing of the Gifted myself and my drop rates definitely increased, not to mention 2 out of 10 legendary engrams have turned exotic for me. This post is more of a recruitment. I need help proving these. but my friends and i have definitely tested Gifted and IV with positive results. Please post if you can confirm that you experience gains in loot/glimmer/rep/exp with any of these equipped. Thanks for your assistance in advance!
We are also trying to confirm if Headshot kills specifically give a higher loot drop chance
Edit: So, after a few comments I'd figure I need to explain my thought process behind this a bit more. Motes of Light: a rare currency that is used to purchase legendary and exotic items from select vendors, so why would emblems specifically called Blessings cost Motes vs. the rest of the vendors requiring rep lvl and glimmer? Well a blessing suggests that it could have a buff (however hidden from us) attached to it and the additional expense of motes implies that these emblems are worth more, but why would they be worth more if they didn't have some effect? Maybe it is coincidence, and we are digging to far into it maybe it is legit, but we can't be sure if we don't try in the 1st place right!? Do the other legendary emblems have effects or is it limited to just the speaker sold ones? I honestly have no clue, It is possible, but on the other side, it is a game based on a ton of randomness, it could just be coincidental. Finally, it's Bungie and they love putting hidden (almost scavenger hunts) in games in places that we would never expect. So remember, BUYER BEWARE.

I pulled this from the net. I have not personally tested such.
