Product Description
Product Description
The Dash is world’s first Hearable: a wireless smart earphone that combines 3 essential features in 1 product: Listen to music, track your fitness activities, and communicate with others. New features and functionality will improve over time through software upgrades available from Bragi.
The Bragi KUI (Kinetic User Interface) is a technology that enables features such as MyControl, which is customizable gestures that allow you to answer a phone call with a nod, for example. MyTap enables control by tapping your cheek by your ear.
Listen to music by streaming audio via Bluetooth, or leave your smartphone behind and use the integrated 4GB music player. You can control The Dash by either using swipe gestures, tapping or holding your finger on the EarTouch interfaces, or directly from your Bluetooth device.
Track your workouts and collect fitness data with in-ear biometric sensor technology.

The Dash are even waterproof up to 1m/3ft., so you can use them during water sports, or any activity indoors or outdoors.
The Dash is also a Bluetooth communication device. A built-in EarBone microphone and two environmental microphones filter out the surrounding noise to make your voice heard more clearly. Passive noise cancellation begins the moment you put The Dash in your ears, but with a swipe of the Left Dash, turn on Audio Transparency to allow ambient sound to enter the earphones, making you more aware of your surroundings.
The Dash offers approximately 3 hours of battery life (approximately 4 hours when using the internal player), and you can recharge from The Charger up to 5 times on the go.

About the StartupDescribe your product in 3 words.
Wireless Smart Earphones
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
I was inspired by a conversation with my sister, who died from multiple sclerosis in 2013. She was diagnosed when she was 20, and her condition quickly worsened. She was soon in a wheelchair. Even though she felt utterly terrible, she was a happy person. I asked her why, and she said, “I know that, every day I live, the next day is going to be worse than today, so today is officially the best day of my life. And you know what Nikolaj? It is the same for you. But your perspective is slightly longer than mine.” Since then, I have been thinking about how to help everyone get the best out of that single day. My answer to this was to create a human technological interface that would be acting as an intimate personal assistant. This interface would give you the information you need when you need it, just like a kind, helpful human being. Our challenge was to avoid creating a serial interface that makes you block out everything else in the world. If you want to help people while they are doing something, you have to have a discreet interface that doesn’t take their attention away from what they are doing. Hearing, as opposed to sight is a parallel interface; a person hears everything at the same time. Because of this, I chose the ear over the eye as the sensory interface center point. It is here that a discreet personal assistant can unobtrusively help you and make you better through your sensory audio perception. This is my intention for The Dash.
What makes your product special?
The Dash is the world’s first truly wireless smart earphones. They give the wearer total freedom of movement and a whole new listening experience. Bragi has developed a unique OS running on the The Dash, making them essentially an expandable platform for future applications. The Dash are waterproof to one meter, so you can go swimming with them. They have gesture and touch controls to interface with the built in 4GB* music player as well as the on-board activity tracker featuring real time vocal assistant feedback. *3.5 GB available for usage.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
From day one, we received amazing support from the thousands of people who believe as much as we do in the ideas behind Bragi and The Dash. This gave us the power to move forward, even in challenging times. Now, we have created a device that enables people to do better. The Dash is a hearable device unlike any other. Bringing The Dash to life and having the opportunity to share it with the world is an incredibly intense and beautiful experience.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
These earbuds are far superior than most wireless earbuds in the market that basically copied this very earbuds.
I am an audiophile. I heavily rely on my shure wired earbuds on the daily. Given the iPhone(3.5mmJackless)7 and SHURE's reluctance to come out with a dac for it's earphones, I decided to maybe take the plunge with wireless and give it a try with DASH knowing it flaws and okay sound.
The sound is pretty terrible for these which is an absolute shame specially given its price point.
But that isn't even the last draw for me.
The smart functions are absolutely amazing but I imagined them being more useful, so far it's just there.
Here's where I draw the line and for anyone looking to buy these, I say hold off until Bragi redesigns these earphones.
The sound is okay at best, the 2.2 firmware really needs to be fixed because the max volume is terrible.
**The biggest issue with these is its Bluetooth connection.
BELIEVE THE REVIEWS! There is no other way to say it, the connection absolutely sucks!
When they say these earbuds need to be in line of sight for good connection with your phone, its absolutely, absurdly true.
With my phone in my jackets hand pocket, they start to go in an out pretty badly.
With my phone in my jackets chest pocket, they still go in and out sporadically.
Unfortunately this IS NOT firmware fixable. With a year now on the market I wish bragi stopped trying to sell these in their current state because they're continuing to ruin the appeal of these otherwise amazing concept earbuds. Or at least offer a .1 redesign of the hardware.
**The other big issue is definitely battery. First day of use, I got about 4 hours.
Charging was a bit of a headache, I had to reset them because they just wouldnt charge, three hours into the case and they were still blinking red.
From then on it would charge fully with blue light lit for full and then go to green in 20 mins of use.
I too am usually skeptical of online reviews and these in particular has been a bit confusing for its mixed reviews.
This product and brand has had a lot of clout for being one of the first with these earbuds that many company went on to copy, such a shame that Bragi has been really slow to redesign and upgrade the hardware on these otherwise far superior earbuds.
Small update. I noticed if you want to use the fitness tracker or the app features, in addition to music. Connect the app first. Then go to the music app. It seems the app will sometimes have trouble connecting to the dash's if Music connects first or at least if you start using music before you open the Bragi app.
Still enjoying these things! More and more as I get used to the little quirks.
Also. Don't be afraid to email technical support. They respond quite quickly and have been helpful so far.
It took a little while to get used to the pairing process but once you have it set up, DON'T GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN. Don't long tap the left or right bud. You did it once. Generally, there's no need to do it again. It seems to cause more problems. Just pop the Bragis into your ear and let them do the rest. They should just connect once the sensors make contact with your ears. It's super simple and has worked without the fuss for a while now. Sometimes they still get wonky and if you drop them into the charger for a sec and let them reset, you can pop them back in your ears and it will almost always work. It's been allot easier than when I would try to pair it through my iPhone control panel (settings). It was painful at first, but once I started trusting the buds to do their own thing they just work as soon as I pop them in my ears.
The workout sensors are great. I have never owned a fitness tracker before so I have no frame of reference, but I can at least i can see from day to day how my efforts compare. Waterproof was not a feature I thought would be handy, but it is. Been in the pool a few times. Some people would probably prefer a dedicated tracker, but anyone who wears buds when they run, bike, board or swim will appreciate the form factor and not wearing several devices. I hope they add a "meditation" or relax function to the tracker. Made my suggestion to the devs. Seems like an obvious fit for ear buds, music & meditation.
Download the app. It's essential in many ways not the least of which are handing off the data to the iOS health app and setting the max volume. Now that I trust the buds more and have learned the touch commands I don't go into the app as often. Also. Update them and have patience. The update is a long process. I couldn't get it to work connected to my computer (although it think I just lost patience) so I downloaded the update and did it "manually". It still took forever. Probably almost an hour. That wasn't fun. But eventually the lights started pulsing in synch and it worked.
Bluetooth range is quite good with my iPhone and I don't need an arm band. If you drop them in your pocket and turn your head to the left you might experience the drop out others are talking about, but that will be the case for many BT buds. Face it, it's still early in the game. Overall the range is quite good if it's unobstructed. 20 feet. Maybe a little more. I drop my phone in my backpack when I bike into work and experience zero dropouts. Around walls is an obvious no go, but that's not to say it won't work every time. Just know that BT has its limits.
The touch controls took a little time to learn but once you have them for a while it becomes quite intuitive. For starters, right bud controls the music, left controls fitness and audio transparency. Take a quick look at the manual or the quick reference guide in the app under the help menu. Most of the gestures are obvious. A couple take a day or two to get used to.
Audio transparency is pretty cool. Nice innovation, it still needs some work, but I'm getting used to it. It's annoying in loud environments or in windy conditions but in a quiet office where you don't want to be completely tuned out because your boss might be around it seems to be handy. I also use it to stay aware of traffic but the wind noise from a high speed bike run makes it unuseable. Maybe a way to set the mix in the app would be an improvement. I also suggested the option of adding "baffles" that one could drop into the microphone holes. Similar to what Weston does for their buds to "attenuate" and "tune" the sound. In this case it would be like a wind sock on the mic.
The sound quality is quite good. My go to wired buds have been klipsch and westone. I'd say these are comparable to the westone's lower end models, not quite as good as the klipsch. They're still good enough to make me dance when the bass bumps and no one is looking. They are plenty loud, but lacking a perfect seal is what drove me to the double flange retrofit. Better isolation helped with volume. Depends on what you are used to. With a perfect seal. Boom! They are jammin. You might think about either going with a flat EQ if you want pure loudness, but I have to say at max volume and a good electronic, bass or loudness EQ the bass does stand out a bit better. I'm a purist and never use EQ, but with these guys, I find making adjustments for the surroundings and level of output can really help with overall enjoyment. Again I'd generally recommend going flat, but do know that sometimes a little EQ can be the better option depending on your circumstances.
Battery life is quite good. A few hours per charge and several charges from the charger as advertised, but make sure when you are done with them that they go right back into the box. Again this seems to not only "reset" them but it also tells them to stop trying to connect to your mobile, in which case they will run down without you realizing it since it's constantly pinging your mobile. Quick tip regarding the case. It's magnetized so when you drop the buds in make sure they click into place and the lights start pulsing. It can be tricky getting them in perfectly and can fool you easily at first, but once you get used to letting the magnets snap them into place, it'll be a no brainer.
I think most of the harsh reviews are due to users who wanted them to work perfectly right away, but these buds are unique. You do have to get used to how THEY work. Once you do, I think most of you will really like them. I was worried at first myself, but after a couple of weeks I find it hard to want to use my go to Klipsc wired buds despite the couple of things wires still do better. I wouldn't go back to cords and I would definitely want to have an activity tracker in place as well. It's just too good to have one device to do it all

Ricevuti altre tre coppie di auricolari Bragi: tutti e tre non funzionanti. Mi domando se non si tratta di un difetto di fabbrica o obsolescenza programmata da parte di Bragi. non si può parlare di truffa perchè i dispositivi - se funzionanti - sono tra i più belli che ho mai avuto (meglio di Apple e Samsung).
............GRANDE DELUSIONE ................ SE SOLO FUNZIONASSERO...........
Bragi the dash pro sono tra i più performanti e tecnologici auricolari del mondo, a mio parere.
Menù quadridimensionale (lo usi con i movimenti della testa mentre vai in moto, rispondendo alle chiamate, attivando googole, amazon, mac assistant, suonando la musica che hai nelle cuffie e sul tuo dispositivo), permette l'ascolto quando nuoti, al sole estivno non ha problemi, buona autonomia, permette di allenarti e controlla i battiti, etc. etc. etc.
............MA...................
tutti i Bragi che ho acquistato (10 da quando il mio si è rotto) hanno un difetto: ad un certo punto inspiegabilmente gli auricolari non si accppiano più e, di conseguenza, diventano inservibili. non importa quanto vi impegnerete.... rotti per sempre. ho provato ad acquistare i Bragi da altri venditori su Amazon ma arrivano sempre rotti. sembra quasi un'obsolescenza programmata. La casa madre Bragi dal suo caonto non risponderva quando commercializzava ancora gli auricolari figuriamoci adesso che hanno smesso.
Bellissimo prodotto
Grandissimo peccato che non funzioni
please avoid ordering from Braggi for anything unless you wish to be treated like an infant and get now where.
Schon gleich zu Beginn muss man sagen: das Produkt ist aus meiner Sicht eine Katastrophe. Die Bluetooth Reichweite ist unterirdisch. Hat man das Handy in der Hosentasche, hat man schon Verbindungsabbrüche. Liegt das Handy im Wohnzimmer und man geht einen Raum weiter...Ton weg. Immer wurde einem ein Update in Aussicht gestellt, welches das Verhalten verbessern sollte. Mittlerweile gibt es Bragi OS 3.2...was hat es gebracht? Nix. Schlechte Bluetooth Antennen sind und bleiben schlecht. Das ändert man auch mit Software nicht. Was hat man bekommen? Spielereien die kein Mensch braucht...Alexa Integration, Simultanübersetzung mit iTranslate Premium Abo usw. Die Kopfhörer machen nicht das, was sie machen sollen: Ton in einer vernünftigen Qualität und wireless in einer akzeptablen Reichweite abspielen.
Kommen wir mal zum Update Prozess. Ich selber arbeite in der Softwarebranche. NIE IN MEINEM LEBEN habe ich ein besch...eideneres System gesehen als das. Bragi Updater? Erkennt in 99 von 100 Fällen die Kopfhörer nicht und startet erst gar nicht (man kommt im Prozess nicht weiter). Rapid Update? Man soll das Update File herunter laden und dann auf den Kopfhörer kopieren. Auch hier wieder Probleme, denn der Kopfhörer (zumindest der Linke) wird in 99 von 100 Fällen auf dem PC/Mac gar nicht angezeigt (also nicht korrekt eingebunden). Hat man es dann endlich mal geschafft die Datei auf den Kopfhörer zu kopieren, wird das Update durchgeführt. Anschließend Kopfhörer ins Ohr: "Meine Sprachdateien sind unvollständig. Bitte starte den Bragi Updater und führe das Update erneut durch." Also das ganze Spielchen von vorn. Kopfhörer in die Ladeschale, per USB mit dem PC verbinden und hoffen das die Kopfhörer erkannt werden. Hurra! Beim 100sten von 100 Fällen läuft das Update nun durch.
Bluetooth Verbindung mit dem Handy: Wer jetzt gedacht hat, alles wird gut - Fehlanzeige. Bragi App geöffnet. "Gehe in die Bluetooth Einstellungen und verbinde den Kopfhörer." Leider wird aber hier nur die Linke Seite (Bragi 27X angezeigt). Reboot des Handys, alles mehrfach löschen, App löschen und neu herunterladen. Irgendwann dann wird der "richtige" Kopfhörer angezeigt - der ohne "X". Verbunden. App gestartet - alles eingerichtet. Musik abgespielt - kein Sound auf der linken Seite.
Qualtität der Hardware: Wie gesagt: kein Sound auf der linken Seite. Ich nehme den linken Kopfhörer raus, setze ihn behutsam wie ein rohes Ei (sehr schwierig bei dem Frust über den bescheidenen Updateprozess) in die Ladeschale, wieder ins Ohr - kein Ton, wieder in die Ladeschale usw. Plötzlich fühlt es sich komisch an...der Kopfhörer geht leicht auseinander...Ich schaue ihn mir an und sehe, dass er fein säuberlich einmal ringsum gebrochen ist (siehe Foto). Soviel dann dazu...Man muss dazu sagen, dass der Kopfhörer mit Magneten in der Ladeschale gehalten wird. Wenn man ihn also noch so vorsichtig seinem Zielpunkt annähert. Irgendwann wir er einem quasi aus den Fingern gezogen und er rastet in der Ladeschale ein. Das ist so und lässt sich nicht vermeiden. Ob das der Grund für den Gehäusebruch ist, kann ich nicht sagen. Fakt ist jedenfalls: Ich habe den Kopfhörer immer pfleglich behandelt und (man glaube es mir oder nicht) in den 2 Jahren und 3 Monaten seit dem Kauf nur ca. 20 mal aktiv benutzt (aufgrund des stetigen Ärgers über die Bluetoothverbindung).
Alle Versuche den Kopfhörer doch noch irgendwie in Betrieb zu nehmen, konnte ich an der Stelle abbrechen.
Fazit: Ich bereue zutiefst, den Kopfhörer nicht früher zu Amazon zurück geschickt zu haben. Ich hatte ihn aufgrund der Bluetooth-Probleme und nervenaufreibenden Softwareupdates lange Zeit in der Schublade liegen gehabt. Immer noch hatte ich die leise Hoffnung ein Update des Updaters würde hier irgendwann eine Verbesserung bringen und die Kopfhörer wären dann endlich auch benutzbar. Nun war ich 3 Monate über die mögliche Rücksendefrist an Amazon (2 Jahre) und auch der Hersteller (der nur 1 Jahr Garantie gibt) war zu keiner kulanten Rücknahme bereit.
Der Hersteller teilte mir dann mit, man könne mir einen Nachlass auf den Kauf eines neuen Produktes geben.
Nochmal was von Bragi kaufen? Bloss nicht! Nein - VIELEN DANK! Ich habe mir nun Apple AirPods gekauft. Man kann über Apple denken was man möchte, aber die AirPods kosten gerade mal die Hälfte der Bragi damals (179€ zu 299€) und sind aus meiner Sicht 100.000 mal besser: Bluetooth funktioniert in der ganzen Wohnung, Klangqualität gut, Siri kann benutzt werden wenn man will, kein nerviger Updateprozess (passiert automatisch über das OS des Handys). Am Ende ist also nun alles gut und "The Dash" tritt bei mir nun die Reise in den Elektroschrott an.
