Bragi are known for their incredibly successful $3.4m Kickstarter campaign that launched their original dash wireless headphones back in 2014. however they are also known for over promising and under delivering with that product.
The Headphone
It looks like they’ve not learned much either judging by the release of their second line, the terribly named ‘The Headphone’. I originally ordered a pair on launch (5th September) for a promised November delivery. This came and went, but Bragi assured pre-order customers that they would have theirs in time for Christmas.
Then on the 19th of December Bragi announced that they would not meet this promised delivery either. The final insult was this crass PDF offered to people waiting to gift them which stated it “…can be printed, enclosed in an envelope and left under the tree”. hey Bragi, please print the picture below and put it in an envelope. Fique com o troco.
Anyway, they’re finally here so lets try and put my annoyance with the company aside for now and see if the ‘The Headphone’ is actually any good or not.
O que está na caixa?
The 2 units that make up ‘The Headphone’ (who on earth thought this was a good name) are completely wire free and come in a plastic box that serves as the charger and carry case (more on that in a bit). There’s a Micro USB cable included, but you’ll have to find your own USB charger.
There are 3 sets of tips for different sized ears, 2 silicon and 1 special ‘Comply’ foam set that are meant to mould to your ears best.
Recursos
I love the idea of tiny in-ear headphones like this and it’s easy to underestimate the freedom that wireless brings. It’s not hard to see a time when they might be so small they’ll become near invisible, almost like implants, where we’ll be able to hear our digital assistants talking to us without anyone else knowing.
The ‘Headphone’ is missing plenty of features from the Dash. All the fitness functionality has gone as is the built in 4GB storage for music plus the gyroscope, accelerometer and other sensors. but all that’s OK. The dash was trying to be too clever for its own good.
One of the things that’s also missing is more of a wrench though. Unlike a lot of the competition in this sector, the case does not include a built-in battery. You still need to put them in to this ‘charging case’ (they snap onto their contacts nicely with magnets) but you then need to plug the case into a power source. hopefully Bragi will produce a battery case accessory in the future.
Speaking of charging it takes a bit less than 2 hours to charge the built-in 100 mAh Lithium polymer battery from empty and this gives up to 6 hours in use (standby time 250 hours). The battery level is displayed on the top right of the iphone when connected.
They support any smartphone, tablets, computer or other device with the A2DP Bluetooth profile (A2DP v1.3, Hands free profile v1.6, Headset profile v1.2) and maintains a solid connection with my iPhone. You can only connect to 1 device at a time, although it can memorise the last 4.
Apple EarPods (and therefore AirPods) do not stay in my ears. I seem to be missing the required notch at the bottom of my lugs to hold them in and they just fall out, even when I’m standing still. The Headphone on the other hand do fit me well, stay in place and are pretty comfortable.
If you watch the video at the bottom of this page it shows the user tapping the controls on the right earpiece lightly, but this is misleading. You have to give either of the 3 tiny buttons a good push, meaning you are forcing the headphone into your ear which can be a little uncomfortable.
You use these controls to play/pause (single click of bottom button), switch between tracks (double click the bottom button for next track, triple click for previous) and to take phone calls.
You can summon Siri (GoogleNow, Cortana) for voice commands (play me the top hits from 1980), all without having to remove your device from your pocket.
You can also activate the ‘Audio Transparency’ feature which allows you to add in a little ambient noise to the mix to be better aware of your surroundings, especially useful if you are a runner or cyclists perhaps.
On windy days you hear a fair bit of rustling noise though as the air hits the auditory microphones. as well as these left and right external mics there’s an EarBone microphone too and callers say I sound a little ‘different’ but good.
Música?
So how do they sound for music?
With Knowles balanced Armature speakers (Frequency range:20 – 20.000Hz) A2DP profile, AAC and SBC audio codec, the Headphone delivers a rich, dynamic stereo experience anywhere, anytime.
That sounds terrific doesn’t it. but when I first listened to EDM and electronic music the Bragi’s bass was very disappointing.
However things got much better for me when I swapped over to those Comply memory foam tips. You can maximise the bass by ensuring they aestá bem em seus ouvidos e selado corretamente. A espuma definitivamente melhorou o baixo e o conforto para mim.
Com essas dicas ajustadas, elas são um pouco mais exigentes em se encaixar no carregador e geralmente exigem um empurrão para espremer a espuma para permitir que os contatos se sintam corretamente.
Eles não ficam tão altos quanto eu gosto e sei por experiência que esse tipo de fone de ouvido precisa ficar muito mais alto ao ouvir a palavra falada (como assistir a um filme) durante um voo. Felizmente, meu aplicativo de reprodução de vídeo de escolha pode aumentar o volume.

Nosso “fone de ouvido” custou US $ 119 em um especial de lançamento, mas agora é vendido por US $ 149. Mesmo a esse preço, eles ainda são praticamente os mais baratos da aula. Eles são um pouco mais baratos que os AirPods da Apple, têm melhor duração da bateria, controles indiscutivelmente melhores e talvez o melhor de tudo não faça você parecer idiota de Borg. Aqui estão algumas das competições mais próximas …
Apple AirPods (US $ 159)
Samsung Gear Iconx (US $ 199)
Motorola Verveones+ (US $ 250)
Jabra Elite Sport (US $ 250)
Bragi Dash (US $ 299)
O veredito
Apesar do nome bobo e do lançamento errado, eles não são ruins então. Acabei reescrevendo partes desta revisão, pois quase as devolvi para um reembolso antes de mudar para as dicas de atendimento.
Eu ainda gostaria de mais baixo e que eles fiquem um pouco mais altos. No entanto, eu já os estou usando o suficiente (geralmente apenas a orelha direita para assistir ao YouTube etc.) para justificar os 100 libras que paguei por eles no especial de lançamento, para mantê -los.
Qual é o próximo?
Talvez não seja realista esperar que modelos minimalistas como esse possam parecer tão bons quanto os fones de ouvido “adequados”. Depois de alguns anos, eu ainda recomendo o Jabra Revo Wireless com preços iguais (leia minha resenha aqui) quanto mais fones de ouvido eu ouço mais, acho que os Jabras são sem dúvida a maior pechincha de Bluetooth sem fio.
Existem três fones de ouvido Bluetooth relativamente novos que estão fazendo muitas ondas. O Bose QuietComfort 35, o Sennheiser PXC 550 e o Sony MDR-1000X. Talvez seja hora de morder a bala, levantar meu orçamento e experimentar um deles. Minha caçada pelos fones de ouvido sem fio melhor continua.
