1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:09,719
oh no another Kickstarter project that

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:12,920
lonus backed way back in holy crap March

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:15,639
2014 with an estimated delivery date of

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,639
January

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:23,599
2015 all righty then well at least they

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,160
delivered something which is more than a

7
00:00:23,599 --> 00:00:31,199
lot of kickstarters ever do this finally

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,040
is the dash from bregy which raised over

9
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:41,780
$3 million on the promise of being the world's first truly wireless inear

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:46,729
headphones let's see how they did shall

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,000
we tunnel bear is the easy to ouse VPN

12
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:58,239
service that lets you use the web as if you're in one of 20 different countries

13
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,280
learn more and try tunnel bear for free at the link in the video description

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,119
I give braggy full marks for packaging and presentation but companies that

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,320
create successful Kickstarter campaigns are usually good at that stuff even if

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:17,200
they suck at everything else the dash comes in an attractive box that opens up

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,560
to reveal a Charming booklet style quick start guide that's built right into it

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:26,600
then small compartments containing the small medium and large fit sleeves the

19
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,759
extra small is pre-installed the magnetic charger cradle with the

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:36,159
earphones pre-installed in it a sliding aluminum cover that fit very snugly over

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,600
the charger with a clever slit to peek at the charge indicator lights on the

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,479
earphones that can be activated by shaking them and finally a clip to keep

23
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:50,759
from losing your earphones along with a USB cable cool and it gets cooler

24
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:56,880
actually when you put them in your ear they start automatically talking to you

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,799
hi I'm the dash explaining that the

26
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,320
right side is for communication and music while the left

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:07,280
is for activity tracking then they tell you to hold the right side until you

28
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:10,640
hear the pairing sound which I never heard but when I fired up my iPhone it

29
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:16,080
showed up in the list and connected in a couple of seconds making it a very cool

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:20,599
and seamless experience out of the box and the goodness continues their Android

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,319
app is well rated at over four stars with 5,000 downloads but it's the iOS

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,959
one that I ended up using which was good as well when you open it up there's a

33
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,280
slick animation for how to insert the earphones correct and instructions for

34
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:38,760
connecting the app to the dash by holding the left ear phone for a few

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,200
seconds one frustrating thing is you

36
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:46,080
have to avoid using the earphones with any other apps in order to get the full

37
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:49,599
functionality of the braggy apps so you can't make changes on the Fly while

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:54,800
you're listening to music then you have to eject them from the Bry app once

39
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,879
you're finished configuring not knowing this caused a glitch a couple of times

40
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:05,080
where even after ejecting I could control music playback supposedly but I

41
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:10,000
couldn't actually hear anything without refreshing the earphones by putting them

42
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,080
into the charging cable weird anyway from inside the app you can select

43
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:18,319
running cycling and swimming for the activity tracker you can also do it

44
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,120
through the uh touch sensitive interface on the left earbud by the way but

45
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:26,519
activity tracker stuff isn't really my thing so that won't be a big Focus for

46
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,400
this video it is sick however that the earphones are waterproof to 1 meter

47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,920
which something I actually didn't know until they arrived and I read it on the

48
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,280
box though in my defense I did back this thing like two years ago of course being

49
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:44,239
able to wear them while running or swimming would count for nothing if they

50
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:49,439
didn't stay in and stay comfortable and I've got to give bregy a lot of points

51
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,120
here I was fully expecting the dash to

52
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:57,239
be unreasonably heavy and uncomfortable due to their completely self-contained

53
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:02,400
design battery drivers touch interface motion sensor microphones it's all in

54
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:07,840
there and they managed to make them fit well enough and be light enough that any

55
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:13,200
of these activities were no problem for me in spite of my extra Smalls size ear

56
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,160
canals great job guys there are a couple of more app things I should cover before

57
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:21,519
moving on there are gestures uh right now nodding and shaking your head to

58
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,840
accept or reject a call neither of which worked in my testing but your mileage

59
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:31,160
may vary with more gestures to come and each earphone has a regrettably

60
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:37,400
non-configurable but surprising range of functions that you can access by tapping

61
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,600
double tapping swiping holding and long

62
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,919
holding including a transparency mode

63
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:48,240
that sounds cool in theory allowing the Dash's microphone to pass surrounding

64
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:52,120
sounds through to you with the speakers so you can hear them better but in

65
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,240
practice makes very little difference since the microphone is not that

66
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,840
sensitive to ambient noise and the earphones passive noise isolation is not

67
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,800
a strong point of the product in the first place with or without music I

68
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,199
could hardly tell the difference between the two modes I don't want the poor

69
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,720
ambient noise sensitivity of the microphone to reflect that negatively on

70
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:16,800
the product however the dash uses a Jarone microphone for phone calls that

71
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,880
isn't supposed to pick up ambient noise

72
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,400
I'll let you judge for yourself how well that works here though the audio

73
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:26,440
recording you just listen to was recorded in room the one you're

74
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,880
listening to now was recorded on a call to Brandon's iPhone

75
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:33,560
on York City for comparison's sake I've

76
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,440
got a few other microphones what you're listening to right now is being recorded

77
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,360
on the iPhone 6s buil-in mic what you're

78
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:46,199
listening to now is being recorded on the jbird BlueBuds X also a wireless

79
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,400
earphone well not technically completely wireless I

80
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:54,319
guess and this finally is being recorded on the first party microphone cable

81
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,600
that's available for the Sennheiser I80 headphones that I use as my daily

82
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:03,000
drivers battery life was frankly nothing impressive at around a few few hours per

83
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:07,759
charge at best and I suspect most people will find themselves carrying around the

84
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:11,360
charging case but there's good news here another thing I forgot the case has its

85
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,880
own battery that charges up the earphones a few times so you only have

86
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:19,680
to plug it in Via micro USB once per day

87
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:24,720
all right lonus you teas when are you going to get to the meat and potatoes of

88
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,639
this how do they sound they're okay

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:32,039
actually better than okay surprisingly okay well-rounded pleasing sound

90
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:36,400
signature with solid not overpowering base and reasonable Clarity in the

91
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:41,400
high's okay I mean no they are not comparable to a similarly priced wired

92
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,639
imem like my daily driver ie80s they

93
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:48,720
have a shockingly high noise floor they don't get very loud and they're just

94
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,880
playing not as good but considering all

95
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,000
the additional functionality I'd have given sound

96
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:58,800
quality a great score

97
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,840
if the Bluetooth connectivity wasn't so

98
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,840
shockingly bad across my time with the

99
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:07,440
dash the first time I had my signal cut

100
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:12,520
out I initially thought I had bumped the earphone causing it to pause while

101
00:07:10,039 --> 00:07:17,639
scratching an itch but it turned out that with my phone on the bed next to me

102
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:25,360
even putting my hands near my ears caused the signal to cut out momentarily

103
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:28,240
line of sight range is a pathetic 5 m

104
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:35,599
but I found that having my head between my phone and the right earphone caused

105
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:38,680
issues even at that distance and it gets

106
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:42,039
worse with my phone in my pocket and I'm

107
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,080
a short dude right leaning backwards is

108
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:50,280
enough to cause the signal to crackle momentarily or even drop for up to a

109
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:52,879
second at a time any body of water and

110
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:56,759
we're made of water folks is enough to screw up the

111
00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:02,440
connectivity which means final conclusion time that in spite of all the

112
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:07,280
positive things I had to say about this product in spite of all its innovative

113
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:14,680
features and clever Design Elements I simply cannot recommend it even at half

114
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:17,080
the price at $300 especially it's not

115
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:21,120
enough to be a really cool touch controlled 4 gig in your mp3 player oh

116
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:27,039
yeah you don't have to use Bluetooth it does have 4 gigs of storage but the

117
00:08:23,159 --> 00:08:30,080
wireless connectivity also has to work

118
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:31,759
sorry braggy better luck next time I

119
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,599
hope that you survive long enough to bring a dash2 to Market to take on the

120
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,880
slew of similar products that have already started popping up between your

121
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:45,160
Kickstarter campaign and now because I mostly really like what you've done here
