Bragi Dash Pro vs Bose QuietControl 30

From full charge, users can enjoy 4 to 5 hours of playback.

These have an IPX7 rating which makes them fully water resistant up to a certain depth. This is a step-up from other true-wireless earbuds which offer only splash resistance at the most.

Users can store songs in the earbuds' 4GB of internal memory. These songs can also be played using just the earbuds without the need to connect them to a smartphone or music player.

The highs of these earbuds are clear and airy yet are not harsh. Mids are rich and full, so vocals and guitars wont get lost in the mix. Bass is not boomy, and instead is punchy and controlled and should give good thump.

This sound will work well for virtually all types of music, though the Dash Pro is best for those who prefer a natural sound that falls more on the accurate side, instead of really boosted highs or boomy lows.

You can swipe or tap on the surface of the earpieces to pause/play music, increase/decrease volume, skip tracks etc.

In this mode, the built-in microphones will pick up ambient sound and allow you to hear your environment along with your music. Should you want to block out ambient noise, simply swipe on the earpiece to deactivate the mode.

The included case features an internal battery, which can charge the earbuds up to five times. The docks for the earbuds are magnetic and help to ensure proper connection when charging.

The exterior of the case is made from aircraft grade aluminum which gives the case a sleek look and extra durability.

You can get around 8 to 10 hours of use from a full charge.

The earpieces won’t easily fall from your ears when using these on the go. You get Bose’s StayHear+ wing tips which securely fit inside the ears. Also, since the noise cancelling electronics are in the collar instead of an inline module, there is not a lot of weight that pulls down on the earpieces.

While the noise cancelling does not eliminate all of the ambient noise, it does a good job of preventing most of it from mixing in with your music. With the audio turned up to a good volume, you aren’t likely to hear your surroundings except for the loudest of sounds.

You can dial in the level of noise-cancelling that you want using the Bose Connect app which is available for Android and iOS. This gives you more flexibility with active noise cancelling compared to other earphones.

The bass of the Quiet Control 30 sounds full, with good punch and power. It doesn’t add any bloat though, preventing the sound from getting too muddy. The mids are quite forward with a slight boost. Vocals and guitars can easily be appreciated, though heavy guitars may sound quite aggressive due to the slight elevation. The highs are clear and offer a good level of detail yet do not get harsh in any way. These earphones are good for general music listening, and should excel in vocal-heavy tracks.
