You’ll also get five hours of battery life on a single charge using the carrying case that can charge the earphones up to 5 times, for about 30 hours of battery life. There is also 4GB of internal storage in the Dash Pro.

The Dash PRO contains more than 150 micro-components, a 32-bit processor, artificial intelligence powered by Dash AI and 27 sensors, all in a package about the size of your fingertip. Those sensors help ignite Bragi’s unique Kinetic User Interface, which enables users to literally turn their body into the device with a tap of the cheek or a nod of the head through the Virtual 4-D menu.

Setting up the Dash Pro is much easier, with one-touch setup with Android, Apple or Windows devices within seconds. There is also a new audio transparency feature that will allow you to hear your surroundings or cancel it all out. You can also expect stronger bass, a new advanced audio codec and new foam tips.

The Starkey version of the Dash Pro is “the world’s first custom-made wireless ear computer.” Basically, the Starkey model is custom-molded to better fit in your ears and uses the same process that audiologists use for hearing aids and in-ear monitors. The Starkey version of the Dash Pro will only be available on of 5,000 audiologists across Canada and the US. They will retail for $500 USD and come with a special case with a Starkey gold leather inlay inside.
