Bragi's Wireless Earbuds Don't Have The Best Sound. So What? It's Trying To Be Much More

More than two and half years before Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller "courageously" announced the Cupertino tech giant's take on the true wireless earbuds this past September, a small company in Munich had already planted the idea in people's heads: earbuds that are truly free of cords and dongles -- just two little nubs in your ear that play music. But when the Bragi Dash finally hit the market -- funded through a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign -- in early 2016, reviewers were left in awe and disappointment. They gushed about the Dash's build quality and feel, but lamented that the audio connectivity was unstable. "Wireless earbuds are still an unfinished dream," declared Sean O'Kane at the Verge during his testing of the Dash. That was nine months ago -- basically half a lifetime in tech circles -- and the Dash today has improved its Bluetooth connectivity significantly.
