Bragi Dash vs Onkyo W800BT

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.

Instead of being bloated and overpowering, the bass is punchy and fast so while these will not be able to produce a lot of rumble. Thump should be satisfying for most users. The highs are nice and airy with a lot of detail yet never become harsh, so these are not fatiguing to listen to. The mids sound very natural and jump out just enough to make vocals and guitars very easy to hear and appreciate.

These should work best for more vocal and instrument focused genres like jazz, rock, classical and the like. Bass heavy tracks will still sound good with these, though these headphones will not be able to give the deep bass that bass lovers will be after.

The carrying case has an internal battery, and with a full charge, can supply the headphones with 5 full charges on the go.

The soundstage that these produce gives the music an open feel with good instrument separation. This quality will help give the listener an immersive music listening experience.
