Product Description
The Bragi Dash Earphones are unlike most wireless audio buds, offering a slew of unique features typically not found in the category. Built with bilateral balanced armature speakers and a mini-computer processor, they have an integrated 4-gigabyte music player that can hold up to 1,000 songs Read More
When is the Pro version going to drop here?? I don't really want to buy this when there is a newer version that's supposed to fix all the issues with this experimental first-gen product.
The bluetooth version in this product is Dual mode Bluetooth 4.0. I would say that is far from old. Could it be that many people that reviewed this product are using older devices with inferior Bluetooth connections in them? Maybe people are getting the Bragi Dash confused with "The Headphones" which does not have Dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 and only single mode. That would make sense why it does not work all the time.
As I have mentioned throughout this thread I have been testing these for some time now. I have not had the issues that others have reported. I have the Sony Z5 Premium mobile phone and they have been working great.
Lastly, the Bragi Dash Pro uses the same exact Bluetooth technology as the Bragi Dash. Both of them use Dual Mode Bluetooth 4.0. The Headphones by Bragi use You can find detailed specifications here.

Following what @B.Hutch said, you confuse Bluetooth standard version (so 4.0 with BLE support for The Dash - which is also the current standard in the industry) and capabilities of the antenna and protocol stack of both your system and The Dash.
I have seen complaints, but all of them are related to outdoor use and cross-body connection, and I personally didn't have issue with it (cf my other comment in the drop discussion).
These are terrible. From my right pocket to my right ear the signal is constantly degraded and dropping. Unless you feel like holding your phone to your head, these will not be useful unless you want to use the onboard memory for 4 gigs of mp3s that you can not navigate in anyway besides back/foward. You could use theme for phone calls but no one will be able to hear you and if they do you will sound like you are under water. These are not the 'new updated' Pro models and as such are just beyond terrible. There is a moral issue with companies that still sell these for Bragi after Bragi has supposedly fixed the issue in new hardware revision but still push these old useless pieces of crap everywhere.
Picked up a set as part of the kickstarter and use them almost every day - sometimes for hours.
I regularly listen to audiobooks while I get ready for work in the morning. Including in the shower; may be a silly use, but it's handy.
Mowing the lawn, going out for a walk, exercising, these things are great. I did have some connectivity drop outs with the iPhone 6, but since upgrading to a 7 they've been fine.
Each firmware has added new & useful functionality. They really seem to be growing the product.
I may pick up a Pro because I'd like the longer battery life but that's the only benefit to me.
If you're on the fence, give them a shot. If you have any questions, ask away.
Ok, I've had these since the original Kickstarter.
TLDR: They're great if you're not fat.
Basically, the connection can't go through stomach fat that well, so if you're fat and carry your phone in your left pocket (front or back), forget it (receiver is in the right earphone). If you are fat and carry your phone in your left pocket, it will drop out for half a second every 5 minutes or so, bearable. If you are thin and carry it in either pocket they're perfect. Make sure you install the latest firmware, version 3 is great, version 2 or less is bad, and the source of most bad reviews.
The microphone is good in non-windy environments, ok in noisy environments, great in quiet environments.
Otherwise, the charge lasts at least 2hrs at max volume, they sound great, much less visible than apple airpods with much lower 'wanker' factor, they're waterproof, you can load your own music in them and swim and/or leave your phone at home. Touch controls work great, fit (for me) is great.
The negatives are, the heartrate and O2 sensors that were promised are useless (software lets it down, not hardware), the case they fit in to recharge is giant and metal, and its fiddly to get them to sit flush with the case and recharge, unless you spend 20secs getting it right they might be flat the next time you go to use them.
However, no regrets, lost these for a year and still worked when I recharged them, great support, great longevity, no bluetooth pairing issues, would purchase again if I lost them.
I've had the earbuds in the past and I have a few words of advice: don't buy them. The connection drops constantly, even when the phone is in your back pocket. You can't get more that 6 feet away from your phone without them dropping out. Wait until the Dash Pro lower in price. They're everything that made the dash great, but with actually good connection.
Don't buy these unless you want to be frustrated. The connection is extremely inconsistent, there's no interface for music on the devices in the app, and the health features are inaccurate. I haven't had an opportunity to compare to the Pro.
I should have read the reviews before buying these. The connection issue gave me a headache literally. The connection keep dropping on and off with the phone only 3 ft away in the pocket, how is this even legit. but ill just have to deal with it as it is, sigh! its a bad product, i wish they could fix this with software updates hopefully.
