00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:09.719
oh no another Kickstarter project that

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:12.920
lonus backed way back in holy crap March

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:15.639
2014 with an estimated delivery date of

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:15.639
January

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:23.599
2015 all righty then well at least they

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:28.160
delivered something which is more than a

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:31.199
lot of kickstarters ever do this finally

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:34.040
is the dash from bregy which raised over

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:41.780
$3 million on the promise of being the world's first truly wireless inear

00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:46.729
headphones let's see how they did shall

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:54.000
we tunnel bear is the easy to ouse VPN

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

00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.280
learn more and try tunnel bear for free at the link in the video description

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.119
I give braggy full marks for packaging and presentation but companies that

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.320
create successful Kickstarter campaigns are usually good at that stuff even if

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:17.200
they suck at everything else the dash comes in an attractive box that opens up

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:21.560
to reveal a Charming booklet style quick start guide that's built right into it

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:26.600
then small compartments containing the small medium and large fit sleeves the

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.759
extra small is pre-installed the magnetic charger cradle with the

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:36.159
earphones pre-installed in it a sliding aluminum cover that fit very snugly over

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:39.600
the charger with a clever slit to peek at the charge indicator lights on the

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.479
earphones that can be activated by shaking them and finally a clip to keep

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:50.759
from losing your earphones along with a USB cable cool and it gets cooler

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:56.880
actually when you put them in your ear they start automatically talking to you

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.799
hi I'm the dash explaining that the

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:03.320
right side is for communication and music while the left

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:07.280
is for activity tracking then they tell you to hold the right side until you

00:02:05.039 --> 00:02:10.640
hear the pairing sound which I never heard but when I fired up my iPhone it

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

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.599
and seamless experience out of the box and the goodness continues their Android

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

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

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.280
slick animation for how to insert the earphones correct and instructions for

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:38.760
connecting the app to the dash by holding the left ear phone for a few

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.200
seconds one frustrating thing is you

00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:46.080
have to avoid using the earphones with any other apps in order to get the full

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.599
functionality of the braggy apps so you can't make changes on the Fly while

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:54.800
you're listening to music then you have to eject them from the Bry app once

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.879
you're finished configuring not knowing this caused a glitch a couple of times

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:05.080
where even after ejecting I could control music playback supposedly but I

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:10.000
couldn't actually hear anything without refreshing the earphones by putting them

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:14.080
into the charging cable weird anyway from inside the app you can select

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:18.319
running cycling and swimming for the activity tracker you can also do it

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:22.120
through the uh touch sensitive interface on the left earbud by the way but

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

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:30.400
this video it is sick however that the earphones are waterproof to 1 meter

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:34.920
which something I actually didn't know until they arrived and I read it on the

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

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.239
able to wear them while running or swimming would count for nothing if they

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

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.120
here I was fully expecting the dash to

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:57.239
be unreasonably heavy and uncomfortable due to their completely self-contained

00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:02.400
design battery drivers touch interface motion sensor microphones it's all in

00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:07.840
there and they managed to make them fit well enough and be light enough that any

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:13.200
of these activities were no problem for me in spite of my extra Smalls size ear

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:17.160
canals great job guys there are a couple of more app things I should cover before

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:21.519
moving on there are gestures uh right now nodding and shaking your head to

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.840
accept or reject a call neither of which worked in my testing but your mileage

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:31.160
may vary with more gestures to come and each earphone has a regrettably

00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:37.400
non-configurable but surprising range of functions that you can access by tapping

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:40.600
double tapping swiping holding and long

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:42.919
holding including a transparency mode

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:48.240
that sounds cool in theory allowing the Dash's microphone to pass surrounding

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:52.120
sounds through to you with the speakers so you can hear them better but in

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.240
practice makes very little difference since the microphone is not that

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.840
sensitive to ambient noise and the earphones passive noise isolation is not

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.800
a strong point of the product in the first place with or without music I

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:07.199
could hardly tell the difference between the two modes I don't want the poor

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.720
ambient noise sensitivity of the microphone to reflect that negatively on

00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:16.800
the product however the dash uses a Jarone microphone for phone calls that

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.880
isn't supposed to pick up ambient noise

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:22.400
I'll let you judge for yourself how well that works here though the audio

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:26.440
recording you just listen to was recorded in room the one you're

00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:31.880
listening to now was recorded on a call to Brandon's iPhone

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.560
on York City for comparison's sake I've

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:38.440
got a few other microphones what you're listening to right now is being recorded

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:40.360
on the iPhone 6s buil-in mic what you're

00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:46.199
listening to now is being recorded on the jbird BlueBuds X also a wireless

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:50.400
earphone well not technically completely wireless I

00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:54.319
guess and this finally is being recorded on the first party microphone cable

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.600
that's available for the Sennheiser I80 headphones that I use as my daily

00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:03.000
drivers battery life was frankly nothing impressive at around a few few hours per

00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:07.759
charge at best and I suspect most people will find themselves carrying around the

00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:11.360
charging case but there's good news here another thing I forgot the case has its

00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.880
own battery that charges up the earphones a few times so you only have

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.680
to plug it in Via micro USB once per day

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

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.639
this how do they sound they're okay

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:32.039
actually better than okay surprisingly okay well-rounded pleasing sound

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:36.400
signature with solid not overpowering base and reasonable Clarity in the

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:41.400
high's okay I mean no they are not comparable to a similarly priced wired

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:43.639
imem like my daily driver ie80s they

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:48.720
have a shockingly high noise floor they don't get very loud and they're just

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.880
playing not as good but considering all

00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:55.000
the additional functionality I'd have given sound

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.800
quality a great score

00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:01.840
if the Bluetooth connectivity wasn't so

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.840
shockingly bad across my time with the

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:07.440
dash the first time I had my signal cut

00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:12.520
out I initially thought I had bumped the earphone causing it to pause while

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

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:25.360
even putting my hands near my ears caused the signal to cut out momentarily

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:28.240
line of sight range is a pathetic 5 m

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:35.599
but I found that having my head between my phone and the right earphone caused

00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:38.680
issues even at that distance and it gets

00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:42.039
worse with my phone in my pocket and I'm

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.080
a short dude right leaning backwards is

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:50.280
enough to cause the signal to crackle momentarily or even drop for up to a

00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:52.879
second at a time any body of water and

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:56.759
we're made of water folks is enough to screw up the

00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:02.440
connectivity which means final conclusion time that in spite of all the

00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:07.280
positive things I had to say about this product in spite of all its innovative

00:08:04.520 --> 00:08:14.680
features and clever Design Elements I simply cannot recommend it even at half

00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:17.080
the price at $300 especially it's not

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:21.120
enough to be a really cool touch controlled 4 gig in your mp3 player oh

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

00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:30.080
wireless connectivity also has to work

00:08:27.039 --> 00:08:31.759
sorry braggy better luck next time I

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:35.599
hope that you survive long enough to bring a dash2 to Market to take on the

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.880
slew of similar products that have already started popping up between your

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:45.160
Kickstarter campaign and now because I mostly really like what you've done here

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:48.959
so let's say You're Building A mobile app and you're looking for a solution
