What are /r/thedash's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I bought these a few years ago and they seem to still be in stock.

I missed this response, but I'll keep the thread going. (Sorry)

When looking on Amazon, I noticed that the "Comply Truly Wireless" tips for Jabra 65t looked identical in the product picture to the old ones that were compatible with The Dash. Nowhere on the page does it mention The Dash, and I think in one of the comments on Comply's site they responded and said it wasn't compatible with The Dash.

Since the photo looked identical to the old ones, I ordered them anyway just to give it a try. I can confirm that yes, they are the exact same tips they sold before and they work fine with The Dash. They just removed all references to Bragi compatibility from the product and continued selling the same thing.https://www.amazon.com/Comply-Truly-Wireless-Jabra-Active/dp/B07Q6PGG3V/
To clarify more, these are NOT the same as the official comply branded ones that Bragi sold directly through their store for a while. These are the same as the ones Comply sold prior to partnering with Bragi for official ones.

I'm going through one last pack of those comply tips with my Dash. I have an AirPods Pro on order and will be switching in about a month. Maybe I'll stop back here after I switch because I'm sure someone might want spare parts.

Found this, should be perfect once I strip it.

I lost the spring while trying to get it back in but it's good that doesnt matter. I'll order this and I believe I have a stripper at work and I'll search for a smaller wire cutter that might work.

Thanks for the good luck!

The Comply Truly Wireless tips are trash. If you manage to never get them wet they still need to be replaced about once per month, which works out to over $100/yr for the privilege of using your $350 ear buds... If you DO get them wet, they immediately shred. After much trial and error trying to find a comfortable and affordable alternative that gave my misshapen ears perfect seal (and, thus, detectable bass levels), I landed on these for the low low price of $7:

2 pairs of 3 different sizes, you can mix and match (not everyone has symmetrical ear canals) and experiment with the required surgery to get them to fit in the charging case. As they come in the box, they are a hair too long, so you'll find that you'll need to shave the inside connecting tube (or whatever the colored bit is called) a few millimeters with an exacto knife/razor blade to get them to fit inside the charging case. But once you do the operation, you'll find that the seal is amazing, the audio quality sublime, and it will be a impervious to sweat because they're rubber instead of crappy foam. HTH.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XYHC2MD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 are the tips I'm using.

FWIW, I have the original/kickstarter version for the last 18 months or so, no body noises. I've been using earbuds/in-ear-monitors for about 10 years so I may just not notice it anymore.

With the new software the Dash sounds better, though sometimes a bit artificial.

If I put in the Headphone after 5 minutes I forget the difference and appreciate the good sound of those anyway. Plus I prefer the Headphone to listen for a longer period, lighter + longer battery.

Again, this is with perfect fit. Majority of users probably never test/use those products with suiteable eartips and never realise how good the sound they make 'can' be.

I use the SS of this set because they ended up be the best I can get for my ears: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Replacement-Rubber-Headphones-Black/dp/B001UE6PBI/

BT 5 promises better range and higher bitrates. This leads to new wireless HD audio codecs, better audio quality/products and zero range issues like every BT 4.x product on the market today has in some form (even the Dash Pro).

Might add the stuff one can do with Viper4Android, options viperDCC, convolver and others greatly help to find your personal sweet spot :)

I have The Dash and i just bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3QV9WT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . They work great and the ear buds fit the magna snap without any issues too. No cutting needed and i get a full seal in my ears. Hope this helps

I got these which fit almost perfectly (if you can shave like a millimeter off the back, they'd be perfect, but are fine without any cutting): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001UE6PBI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

check to see if they are the same size if you are dead set on bluecell's

These are the tips I use. I used to use the silicone sleeves, but they didn't seal 100%. Took a bit to get these to fit right and still have the heart rate sensor work, but they're great now. If you're outside, keep your phone in your right pocket, preferable if you have a jacket on, in your upper jacket pocket on the right to help with the BT reception (receiver is in right dash).

Also, if you can, bring the charger pack with you. I've had instances of the left / right go nuts and be out of headphones until I was able to put them back in the charger to "restart" them.

hi,

Hmm I bought these: https://www.amazon.de/Oval-Komfortabel-Klipsch-Image-Serie/dp/B00FW10UEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466067700&sr=8-1&keywords=Klipsch+Oval

And the hole in the middle is far too small. It can be that its not OEM or different model than yours.

Link is malformed on that other page so I'm posting it here for ease. Pretty sure these are the ones.

Just got these today. They work perfectly, don't have to take them off to charge, and no trimming required. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062CH422?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

I wanted some foam Tips, so I ordered the whoomp Tips from "Comply". It seems that Apple In Ear compatible Tips also kinda works for the Dash, I had to cut a little though and the inner circle is minimal too small but with a little side-to-side push they will fit. When they're finally sit, the comfort is much better, also the noise canceling is more effective. They also fit in the Charger.

I use whoomp foam Tips from "Comply" without the FitSleeves. Had to cut a little though. Now my Dash fit even better than with Fit Sleeves on (I have relatively small Ears, so even the S Sleeves where a little bit to big for me) also the noise canceling is much better.

this is a really good idea. I was able to separate the foam away from the inner core of the shure tips and trim it down a bit. foam is still the same size, but now the dash nozzle fits deeper in reducing the overall length.

the downside is that now the tips are slipping off when I take the dash out. I'm going to try and notch out a space for the lip on the dash nozzle to grab on to later tonight.

I also ordered some comply tips and some sugru, so i'll hopefully get something together in the next few days.

The Radians Custom Molded Earplugs kit looks really interesting, but dont think there is anyway to get something like this to work with the case.

These 2mm tips look promising:

My top request:

• Get rid of the white noise when idle with transparency off. ISTM it shouldn't be hard to shut off the audio path the same way the Dash does when it thinks it's out of the user's ear. I wear my Dash idle a lot just for the noise reduction and love the ability to switch transparency, and removing the white noise when idle would be a big improvement for this use case. I imagine it would also reduce power consumption.

Two other "nice to haves":

• An "automatic" transparency mode that is opaque while audio of any kind is playing and transparent otherwise. (Similar to the existing behavior where calls temporarily turn the right side opaque.)
• Reduce the number of steps needed to toggle transparency on Android (I'm not familiar with the status on iOS). An option to add a quick settings tile would be ideal (this application suggests it is possible), but an option to add a persistent notification would be almost as good.

I'm late to the party and don't know if anyone will read this, but I still believe in posting things in the canonical place. I'll ask Bragi about setting up a real feature tracking site.
