Panasonic ErgoFit HJE120 vs Bragi Dash

Bass is controlled and tight, yet still gives a bit of an oomph. This is unusual for the price range. There is good detail in the overall sound with clean highs and recessed but still present mids.

Overall, these in-ear headphones work great for genres like rock, pop, hip-hop and the like, though the lack of overall refinement in the sound means that these are not best suited for classical or jazz music.

Due to the in ear design, the tips create a good seal in the ear canal. This helps block off some sound and will allow you to better focus on your music.

The ErgoFit comes with three pairs of ear tips in different sizes. This gives users some degree of control as to the seal and comfort that these in-ears can have

Aside from the standard black, these come in red, yellow, green and a myriad of other colors. Whether you are after in-ears that are subtle looking or want one with louder colors to match your personality or mood then there is a variant for you.

The IPX7 certification means these can work even when used while swimming. Do note however that increased water pressure (like when diving) can still cause damage.

The highs and mids have good detail but are not forward or boosted. Instead, they have a smooth quality to them that makes them easy to listen to. Bass quantity is pretty high, and with good power too.

The Dash features 4GB of internal memory. This allows the earbuds themselves to hold up to 1000 songs, which can be played without connecting to a music player or smart phone.

Users can make taps or swipes on the Bragi Dash's touch-sensitive areas on the earpieces. This can help to play or pause music, skip current track or play previous track, control volume as well as other functionality.

With these earbuds synced with the Bragi companion app, users can track fitness-related stats like heart rate, distance traveled and the like.
