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.

About the Startup Describe 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.

I do NOT recommend all of the runners who wear your pouch in your waist and want to put your smart phone in your pouch during running to purchase this product.Because the Bluetooth connection of the Dash is getting poor and music is going to be choppy once you put your smart phone into your pouch.I have tested many times during running and it is obvious.I wear a pouch(see the picture below) to have a water bottle during running.Whenever I put my iPhone into the pocket of the pouch, it immediately starts to lose its connection. Once I take my iPhone out of the pocket, it starts to play music well without any noise.So I always have to hold my iPhone in my hand while I am running.I thought that the water bottle(actually water itself inside the bottle) may cause the problem, but it did not. This issue happened without the water bottle.I am thinking that this is the specification of the Dash. Whenever your smart phone that is connected to the Dash is covered by something, then it loses the blue tooth connection every time.What the Dash makes me stressful is not only losing connection but also forcing me to hold my iPhone in my hand, this is poor production.I am going to remediate this review once this issue is fixed.

TERRIBLE BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
I can't bring myself to give this product 1 star despite how upset I am with the purchase. These things are really cool. The functionality and concept is definitely the wave of the future. It's great how the storage receptacle is also a battery charger so you never have to really worry about finding an outlet. The touch sensitivity controls is impressive as well and very responsive. Although i didn't go swimming in them it is so cool that they are waterproof. Great idea as well giving you 3.5 gigs of space to store music if you don't want to bring your phone to stream. On top of all that it's amazing how well they fit in your ears and stay in your ears.Now for the disappointing side of things:I'm a passionate long distance runner. I utilize another app, Runtastic, to track my distance and performance so i wasn't really interested in the activity functionality. Upon first putting them in my ears and connecting them via Bluetooth to my Galaxy S7 i was a very surprised to hear so much static while streaming music. Come to find out there was a firmware update released so i immediately updated them and the static was reduced but not completely eliminated. I'm not a sound quality snob so i didn't let it get to me and focused on all the other cool features.But then it happened. I went for my first run in them. I couldn't believe what i was hearing! The sound was cutting in and out consistently. I had my phone strapped high on my stomach via a running storage belt (i don't like to wear arm bands) and it couldn't hold a connection while i ran. I finally had to turn my music off because it was driving me crazy!I originally assumed that everyone doing activities in the promo video, like running, were streaming music. They must have been listening to stored audio because the Bluetooth connectivity is not reliable enough for activities.I'm in the process of trying to return them. I have to assume this will be a difficult process. $350 plus shipping is ridiculously overpriced for this item since you can hardly consider BT a feature.

DO. NOT. DO. BUSINESS. WITH. THIS. COMPANY.
I bought these in November and used them at the gym on the treadmill for a while and they worked okay. Now that the weather is nice I took them outside for a run. Turns out the Bluetooth quality on these headphones is TERRIBLE. They will disconnect if they don't have a clear line of sight to the phone. This means you can't put the phone in a running arm band or even a pocket. Listening to music is pretty much impossible if you aren't holding your phone directly in front of your face. Every other pair of Bluetooth headphones I own work great. Despite this customer support is blaming my phone and has been generally unhelpful. I spent $200 on these headphones and they aren't even on par with a $10 pair I got a year ago. Extremely disappointed. I've gone back to using my $10 headphones since these are completely unusable outdoors.Update: Bragi customer support has been the absolute worst customer service experience I've ever had. I sent my headphones for a warranty replacement over a month ago. They still haven't even shipped my replacement. They keep transferring me around in circles asking for the tracking number of the package I sent them. After about a month of fighting with customer service I'm starting to just accept that I paid them $200 for defective headphones, paid to ship them the headphones back and they are never going to actually send me a replacement. I'm looking into if a charge back through my credit card will get me banned from amazon.DO. NOT. DO. BUSINESS. WITH. THIS. COMPANY.

Not Worth the money and time that you will spend on these.
The regular Dash was something that I was looking for, and specially for the discounted price. Bought these twice and the same results. One of the buds (the first one was the right bud and the second one was the left bud) were not working at all. Call customer service and was advised that this was considered as a discontinued item and was not going to be made anymore. Also they have been receiving many complains about this specific product, when recently bought.I went with the Bragi Dash Pro, which I know if much more expensive, but it was worth it and loving that as of right now. The additional functionality of the buds and the comfort and the lack of issues (Bluetooth connection) is all worth the additional 100 bucks.
