Tech Review – Dottir Sports headphones.

Over the last while I have been testing out the Dottir Sports headphones which have had features specifically selected by two training partners and competitors — both two-time winners of the title “World’s Fittest Woman” at the CrossFit Games Katrin Davidsdottir and Annie Thorisdottir, On first appearance many said they look like Apple rivals but then realised by the branding they are not and again they are cheaper than said rival product which many still pay a hefty price for in my book. If you missed the first look see the video here 

Design Build and Fit

These are probably the best fitting hooked headphones I have tried in some time , they fit really well they give a good seal and will not fall off no matter what exercise you do and you can take that to the bank. They are not heavy you would almost forget they are there after a while and overall comfortable to wear too even for long periods.

They are well built and I do like the colour however the longevity of it holding up is another matter but they are easy to clean,on each side you have buttons which are raised and easy to use even blindly but when putting the headphones on you may accidently hit on them which is no huge deal to be honest but it does take two hands to fit them right but after a while the one handed approach is good if you are a user of such styled headphones which there is plenty of out there in the market aimed at fitness folk.

The housing is plastic with a matt finish to them and looks well in the colour we tested which is White and there is an Ash Grey option too which is nice, more colours would be nice and we might see that change down the road as we do with many brands out there now.

Controls

The controls are simple to use as mentioned and you also have a touch area too that you tap to execute play and pause and your voice controls, all of this we demonstrate in the video review below so do check it out, you have all the usual features there too such as volume control and skip/reverse tracks etc.

Sound

These unfortunately do not have an app to change the EQ but you can use one on your phone if you wish but they tend to be via third party apps and are not great but the thing is they sound pretty good out of the box as is with nice bass and volume and all testing that I normally do came back to be fine across the board, they also have auto play and pause, you have also got ANC whilst not the best I have heard it is fine and you also have transparency mode if you want to hear what is going on around you especially if you are out jogging on dark evenings etc.. Calls are fine and clear for the few I took whilst testing and that was both ends.

They do a great job overall to be fair and they are ideal for the fitness type and gym gurus and also come with an IPX7 rating with decent battery and the charge case is really cool to and also their choice of packaging is nice to see going forward with the environment in mind.

Dóttir introduces its new line of sports-focused true wireless headphones, expressly designed to withstand the rigors of elite sports competition. The new headphones take the sport headphone market to new heights, boasting innovative features specifically selected by two training partners and competitors — both two-time winners of the title “World’s Fittest Woman” at the CrossFit Games Katrin Davidsdottir and Annie Thorisdottir.

Music That Will Move You

Dóttir began as an idea between longtime friends Katrin Davidsdottir and Annie Thorisdottir, both of whom are two-time female champions and regular top contenders at the Crossfit Games. Their goal with Dóttir was to create a pair of headphones that would allow athletes to train freely without distraction, while remaining inspired by the music they love.

With a packed feature set in a rugged form factor, Dóttir features Active Noise Canceling technology, a fully waterproof construction and an ergonomic, wraparound design that ensures the headphone stays in place, add to this a total playtime of up to 72 hours with a wireless charging case that provides up to five additional charges, and you have a clear winner and dependable companion.

“The brand started out as an idea between two best friends who push each other to be some of the top performing athletes in the world. We are proud to bring a brand to market that supports female empowerment and equality as an extension of its founders’ personal values,” said Gisli Gudmundsson, Dóttir Product Manager. “Their Icelandic roots have had a large influence on their core values and the Dóttir brand as a whole. Both Katrin and Annie have fought to reach the top of their respective field, and Dóttir Freedom On-Grid earphones are designed by athletes, for anyone striving to stay ahead of their own game.”

Having both received the title of “World’s Fittest Woman” during both of their repeat consecutive wins at the CrossFit Games Women’s Championship, Katrin Davidsdottir and Annie Thorisdottir are an inspiration to countless women around the world.

“In 2011, Annie won the CrossFit Games, and CrossFit blew up in Iceland,” Katrin said.

“Suddenly everyone is doing CrossFit. It’s all over the news, and all over the media, and they’re showing you at the CrossFit Games. I didn’t want to go back to track and decided ‘I want to do that.’ So, I went to boot camp where Annie used to train, because I just wanted to do what Annie had done. When I showed up to my first foundation class, Annie walked in to teach it! It’s fun to look back, now, because I looked up to Annie, and now we’re best friends.”

“As Katrin continued on with CrossFit, I could see that she was competitive and driven,” Annie said. “I could see myself in her, a little. Then I remember seeing her do a training workout, and she being super aggressive, and deciding: I need to push her to compete. I need to see what she can do.”

“We have been looking for a headphone to withstand the demands of our training schedule for some time. We haven’t found one yet that has the battery life, waterproofing or fit that complements our training style and so we decided to design and launch our own. Dóttir Freedom On Grid has all the features and considerations that we feel will complement anyone who is active, no matter what your sport,” comments Katrin and Annie.

Their relationship founded on inspiration, mutual admiration and a competitive spirit, Katrin and Annie have continued to push one another to meet their training goals and achieve their best performance each year they compete in the CrossFit games. With Dóttir, the CrossFit champions extend these core values of their mutual friendship to empower females across the globe to devote their time, focus and willpower to the attainment of their dreams.
