This article was first published on: Feb 13, 2014

If you’re someone who enjoys working out, you probably know that music is often a crucial part of the experience. Even top-tier athletes have their go-to playlists. However, traditional headphones can be cumbersome and inconvenient.

Imagine a world where you don’t have to deal with tangled cables, carry a separate music player, or wear an additional fitness tracker. That’s where Bragi’s The Dash comes in.

Meet The Dash

The Dash isn’t just another pair of headphones; it’s a fully wireless, Bluetooth-enabled in-ear system. Not only does it stream music via Bluetooth, but it also has 4GB of internal storage for up to 1000 songs.

Your Personal Fitness Tracker

The Dash is equipped with a variety of sensors to monitor your performance and vital signs. It can track metrics like cadence, G-force, and distance, as well as heart rate, body temperature, and calories burned.

Moreover, The Dash helps you stay on track with your fitness goals, alerting you if you’re not meeting your set parameters.

Switch Seamlessly Between Tracking and Music

While fitness is its primary focus, The Dash is also a versatile everyday headphone. It doubles as a Bluetooth headset and offers passive sound isolation, making it ideal for noisy environments.

Control is at your fingertips with The Dash’s touch interface. The left earphone manages fitness tracking, while the right one controls music and transparent audio features.

Although The Dash can operate independently, pairing it with Bragi’s official app maximizes its capabilities. The app is free for Android and iOS and also supports third-party applications.

The Dash has already surpassed its Kickstarter goal of $260,000. A pledge of $199 will secure one for you if you’re in the U.S. Additional shipping and VAT charges apply for international backers.

Production is set to commence in November 2014.
