Video review: The Dash Pro, SoundLink Revolve + and Mstick raise spirits outdoors this summer
We sort through the myriad gadgets on the market to enhance your enjoyment of the outdoors this summer, and pick three of the best
There are hundreds of gadgets available out there that aim to elevate your outdoors experience. Here are three of the best.
Bragi The Dash Pro
If you’re a music lover who takes to the outdoors, you’ve undoubtedly been searching for the perfect pair of wireless earphones. The Dash Pro, Bragi’s latest model, is a good choice.
Turn-ons: The Dash Pro offers good sound and comfort. We like the new waterproof model as it can be used for water sports, and outdoors regardless of rain.
The Dash Pro’s 4GB internal storage allows users to save their favourite playlists, so joggers can enjoy music without the need for an external device. The earphones can also track your workout, noting duration, distance and heart rate.
Turn-offs: The battery doesn’t last long – it can play music for only four to five hours on one charge. That being said, the stylish metal case, which doubles as a charger, can now recharge the earphones up to five times after it’s fully charged.
The features aren’t that intuitive. To understand how all the functions work, you need to study the menu or watch the tutorial videos before use.
Bose SoundLink Revolve +
Not many portable bluetooth speakers offer great sound. In an open space, you can usually forget about decent sound. Bose’s SoundLink Revolve + is one of the few that didn’t disappoint us.
