My sync 50 just died. Ugh they were great. Sweat proof also. May look into these. Are these sweat proof?

These are indeed sweat proof. And the reviews so far from both Engadget and the verge say these are the best truly wireless earbuds on the market. And they come in at an affordable price too. Under cutting a lot of others while still being quality

Here's some reading for ya

Fyi latest news on Bragi Headphone is that orders made before 12/1 will ship around mid December and should arrive by Xmas. Orders made after 12/1 will ship later and not arrive until January.

Supposedly the Headphone is still on track to ship this week. Quite excited, but keeping expectations low. Not typically a fan of being an early adopter of a new product, but at least reviews of it make it seem promising.

Headphone looks good and maybe has fixed the issues dash had
The reviews all over the place are surprisingly good. It's unanimous that if you want truly wireless earbuds, these are the best by far. A little tempted. Only thing holding me back is no charging case

Agreed reviews are better than expected. I'm optimistic. The case is an unfortunate limitation, but it helps with the price. I may use one of my mini battery packs with it. Hope mine ships this week.

Upside is that if reviews from us preorder people are bad, you have time to cancel

indeed, will look forward to the reviews of the headphone from those who get it this month and see if it's worth getting or not. obviously i don't want to get too many wireless devices as wouldn't use them enough but there will times to use one or the other. hell even carrying more than one means battery life won't be an issue.

Just like with cell phones, can't make everyone happy with regards to battery life. But for me, if it gets solid 5 hours I'll be satisfied.

I am a customer. That quote comes from the email they sent out to those that pre-ordered. I thought others would find it useful.

Still waiting to even have mine shipped. Sigh. At least reviews of customers that have received them seen positive.

Should have arrived last Friday, but got this from UPS instead:
"We've incorrectly sorted the package at our facility. This may cause at least one business day delay."
