Brainwavz Delta vs Bose QuietControl 30

These earphones produce a punchy sound with a good level of detail. The bass is not overpowering, but instead is fast and controlled with good depth. The mids sound natural, while the highs sound airy without getting harsh. These should sound good for all genres of music.

For a $20 pair of earphones, these are built incredibly well. The earpieces are made out of metal which makes them quite durable and resistant to damage. The cables are soft and flexible, and shouldn't break easily.

It's easy to unpack the Delta. Just open the box and there they are.

This set can be used for talking on the phone.

These come with 3 sets of silicon tips and 1 set of foam tips. The big selection of tips play a role in the notoriously comfortable fit provided by these buds.

Most earbuds have microphonics, where the movement of attached wires can cause unwanted noise that can drown out music.Surprisingly, these buds have no microphonics whatsoever.

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.
