Headphones come in all shapes and sizes, in-ear, over the ear, on-ear, Bluetooth, and so on, but for the most part, headphones are basically designed to pipe music from our media devices, like our phones or tablets, and straight into our ears, nothing more, nothing less, at least until The Dash. These are a pair of in-ear headphones that have been making waves recently thanks to its Kickstarter project where its creators have managed to go beyond its $260,000 goal. As it stands at this point in time, The Dash headphones Kickstarter project is sitting well above $1,000,000. (more…)

Dash Wireless Headphones, Music Player, Headset & Fitness Tracker: Smart ‘phones
Posted in: Today's ChiliWearable technology is still at a very early stage, but we’re seeing more refined and truly useful examples every so often. Bragi’s Dash is the latest example. Calling this tiny pair of devices “headphones” is as fair as calling the iPhone a “phone.”
Yes, Dash is a pair of Bluetooth in-ear headphones. But it’s also a music player on its own, with 4GB of built-in storage for MP3 and AAC files. It also provides noise isolation, which can be adjusted if you want to listen in on your surroundings. Dash also has a microphone and can be used as a headset. But that’s not all.
Dash is also a fitness tracker. Together with its iOS app, it lets you keep an eye on things like your heart rate, calories burned and body temperature. The app also has a convenient Lost Device Tracker, which I’m sure future owners will eventually need.
It will also keep tabs on performance-related stats like the steps you’ve taken, your speed and even your altitude and drop rate.
While you’ll get the most out of Dash if you use its companion app, you’ll be able to control the device through its touch-sensitive surface.
Dash is also shock- and water-resistant, and it lasts up to 4 hours per charge.
Pledge at least $199 (USD) on Kickstarter by March 31 to get Dash as a reward. That’s not cheap, but assuming it can do all of its functions well then it’s a much better deal than most if not all of the fitness trackers that are currently available.
