Anyone tried the Bragi Dash?

I'm looking for Bluetooth earphones (can't say wireless apparently).

However there seems to be a major flaw from what I've read, the Bluetooth cuts out intermittently between the phone and the earphones when outdoors.

So as the title says anyone had any experience with these, and has the issue been resolved? Not expecting any/many replies but Ho hum, might get lucky.

Edit: removed the bit about te swimming as some people can't concentrate on the relevant question when any extra detail is added.

Plus spelt out the situation as simply saying Bluetooth drop out apparently is too vague.

Well unsurprisingly nada, I hope it's a case of no one that's tried them has seen this thread. And not the usual case of can't be bothered to reply.

Think it's more to do with people don't usually swim while listening to music..

Did you even read the op?
I'm NOT asking about the swimming part of it, the Bluetooth cutting out between the earphones and the smartphone when you're OUTSIDE in the REAL world NOT in a swimming pool.
Seriously do I have to SPELL EVERYTHING OUT? Same rubbish on my other thread where I said wireless instead of BLUETOOTH.

Use them indoors and dont go outside.. most people from ocuk don't go outside anyway so that's probably why they haven't replied

But there's a whole world out there, plus there's something called a job where you have to wonder out into the real world for a bit even if it's for a few seconds before you're back inside.

Is it really so bad to put some earphone wires up the inside of your shirt like you're at secondary school in a class you don't like?

Much wider selection, and better quality items available for less cost. And if they fall out they aren't going to hit the ground or go missing.

Sorry to post something which isn't exactly what you asked for but thats my 2 cents at least.

I honestly wish I was back in secondary school.
And like I originally said in the op before having to remove it as it seems people gravitate towards the extra/asides rather than the actual question, I'm also looking for waterproof MP3 player which these would provide so "2 birds, 1 stone" if the Bluetooth issue wasn't involved with normal outdoor usage.

Siliconslave has(had?) a pair, trust him a message.

He's the only person who has ever mentioned them on these forums. So unsurprisingly no, you wont get many replies.

I'm not even going there with the whole mr sarcasm thing. People arent going to help you much if you talk to them the way you have been.

Exactly why I didn't bother replying.

Well as I said I honestly wasn't expecting anyone/many people on here to have tried them, no one even put up a thread about its release. Didn't even get anything on search.

What else am I supposed to do when people ignore the actual question and pick out the non-relavent/a question I didn't even ask, I.e the guy mentioning the swimming. And in my previous thread someone saying I'd said wireless not Bluetooth(last I checked all wireless headphones/earphones for mobiles were Bluetooth), kind of gets annoying.

Simple internet maths

a)You're **** attitude
b)Sad cases with no life

a+b=c

c= internet drama

Jesus wept I see this thread went as well as the last one.

Leave all the "woe is me no one wants to help me" sarcasm out of your first posts and stop going full sarcastic edit every time someone doesn't stick to the exact rigid framework of what you want to know.

This is a discussion forum, anything you mention may get discussed, if you don't want it to be discussed then don't bother adding it in in the first place instead of putting it in your OP then getting all bent out of shape when someone mentions it.

Basically see my reply to the last thread you posted. People aren't here to bow to your beck and call and people will be even less inclined to even bother trying to help when all they get in return is a sarcastic strop.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The Bragi dash is a seriously niche product, I'm not surprised that of the few regulars to this thread, nobody within the 48 hours between posts had anything to say about them!

Yet again I WASN'T expecting a million and one replies to this like I already said, how many time do I have to say it?

But reply #3 was well off the mark as to why.

The saying, "pot, kettle, black" comes to mind.

Expect things I mentioned to be discussed? Sure I do, but having it as the reason as to why no one has replied when that "reason" wasn't a) the question and more importantly b) well off the mark as to why people haven't replied I.e

And as for the other thread, it's one thing not having used an iPhone. But seriously "you mentioned wireless NOT Bluetooth in the op" is a load of rubbish. Especially when the very first reply mentioned "the Airpods use Bluetooth" or words to that effect.

So even if I wrongly assumed people on here would be smart enough to figure out wireless = Bluetooth, I don't control the laziness/stupidity of others not reading the other replies. It'd be one thing if there were numerous replies or something, how difficult is it to read when there is only a handful of replies or even to just read the first couple of replies? Even when I'm in a hurry I try to read the first few replies/skim the replies before I post a reply.

And again you someone else has still to show me any wireless headphones for mobile phones that use anything but Bluetooth. So until you do keep your "Jesus wept" and other condescending rubbish to yourself.

So yes I will continue my sarcasm as long as people give me a reason to.

There's no helping you, tbh.

And then you shall continue to receive nothing but my "condescending rubbish" and silence from others in return.

I'm actually trying to point out why you're not getting the answers you expect and that going off on one isn't going to get you anywhere if you see that as condescending then so be it, you'll notice very few other people seem to have any issues getting answers to the questions they ask so the common denominator is your posting style.

Just take a deep breath, relax and ignore any replies you think are totally irrelevant to be honest (including mine I'd imagine), you'll live longer.

And yet you still fail to show me any non-Bluetooth wireless headphones/earphones.

And also ignoring the fact I wasn't really expecting any answers in this thread, well got one useful answer with the name of one user who may have used these.
