hi everybody this is Sean with the Virg and I'm here at the Venetian in Las Vegas here at CES 2016 to speak to nikolai vide the CEO of bracket company that makes that wireless year but that everybody seems to want called the dash so the most basic description of these is they are bluetooth wireless earbuds now the important distinction here is that's not bluetooth between the earbuds the chose bluetooth connect to your phone Bragi - used to use bluetooth between the earbuds but that was part of the reason the production was delayed last year the company decided to ditch bluetooth between the earbuds and go with something different called near-field magnetic induction what it does is it's better for communicating between the two earbuds without losing signal quality but forget about all that let's talk about the experience of using them a lot was promised when we first met up with Bragi last year at CES and we've had a lot of ideas about what it's like and you'd think that with troubles and production and all these delays that it would be hard to realize some of those promises but it's actually that much fun to use not only do they sound great but the accelerometers the JavaScript inside lend themselves really nicely to some motion gestures that aren't really crazy once you have these in your ear using this pretty simple they have touch sensitive sections on each ear bug one is more for like your music and volume controls and things like that the other is more for activities there's a personal assistant inside that helps guide you through sort of the menus that kind of exists within the software here but a lot of that sounds really complicated and it's really not as complicated as you think but probably the most impressive thing is what they call the audio pass-through with just a swipe on the Left earbud you can actually bring up the room mix and it's not only now in your audio mix that you it is directional the microphones on here can pick up what you're hearing in the room and give you a sense of space on there you go wow that's that's extremely strange it's pretty cool isn't it yeah it's very cool it's just an experience that you really have a hard time finding and are probably hard-pressed to find at all in any other earbud whether is wire or not that's some of that stuff that's inside here like the audio pass-through and the directional microphones are really what Bragi is trying to say is going to be used and much bigger in broader ways as they go forward with the - and maybe other products there's more built into these that really change the experience of like how you listen to music how you use headphones and how you use wireless earbuds somethingö and the best thing about it when you're done with them you throw them back in a charging case you've got five more charges in here and keep this with you at all times you're not going to lose it you're not going to lose the charge of these and it's that simple that's the braggy - we're going to see more from these guys and we're definitely going to see more about this particular product when the rest of these ship this year and when we get our hands on them back in New York for more from Las Vegas here at CES 2016 head to the verge comm and head to youtube.com slash the Virg click Subscribe
