surprised more havn't given their thoughts on these so far.
If i was to go and get the new S8 plus would be tempted by these as an air pods option for something different.

About a month since I got these, and I am still extremely happy with them. The comfort and stability of these in my ears is amazing. And love the physical controls.
glad you're still happy with them. guessing it's easy changing tracks and increasing the volume then on songs/podcasts e.t.c.
what phone do you use with them? wondered if android wear would let you increase the volume on a watch like the gear for example.
when you aren't using the headphone does it just switch off to avoid wasting battery life?
Dude they are ugly. I bet they're useful for the gym because of the hooks but I've never had that issue of earphones falling out anyway. If they can make them a bit more aesthetically appealing and lose the physical buttons they might have something.

They don't look any different than the 100 pairs of PowerBeats 2 I see at the gym each day. Only there is no cable in between... and you want them to lose the physical buttons? Why? That's pretty much the advantage they have over the AirPods, which I also own and like.
Have been using Bragi the Headphone for a month now and i am very satisfied. The sound is great and the fit in my ears is excellent. They stay put no matter what i'm trying to do. No issue with the max volume - i usually play at 75% of max volume. Love the design and you won't be feeling like the odd man out wearing these in public
. My previously headset was the Bose Soundsport wireless. The sound was excellent, but they were too big. Looked like a big bug attached to the ear. And the airpods? well the picture say more than thousand words

If I want to use these with two devices, will I need to go into Bluetooth settings and disconnect from one and then connect to the other? If yes, for me these would be a nonstarter b/c I am often switching between my iPad and iPhone and so I need either a set that connects to 2 devices simultaneously (many of the "wired" Bluetooth sets do this), or something like the AirPods that allow fast switching. Unfortunately the AirPods don't fit in my ears.

Loe how you use two photos of models with a very well posed shot, and then for AirPods you choose the geekiest, least flattering picture lol...
Please let's not let this thread go in this direction. Some like the look of AirPods, others do not. It's what makes the world go round. I remember when iPads first came out and some people thought it was the dumbest/silliest name ever. Now no one thinks twice. The same will likely happen with the look of AirPods.
I'm just glad we have options. Whether it is about look, or fit, or sound, options rule.

So strange. I can easily be 30 feet from my phone, through walls, and get uninterrupted music on my Bragi. I imagine people are having the same varied experiences with AirPods.
My house just has ridiculous interference. I have tried most of the sub 500$ headphones/earphones available in the market. Powerbeats3 is the only headphone that works perfectly. AirPods are passable with mild dropouts.
Owned both Bragi dash and headphone. Dash was simply useless and dropped out the moment I break line of sight. Headphone can track till I get down stairs and go silent after that. This is pretty much where most of the Bose/sennheiser headphones drop out. Some Chinese ones go little further but keep cutting in and out.
I think Apple has done a spectacular job with the reception.
I picked these up at Best Buy for $119.99 on sale.
So far so good, since sound quality is very subjective I will go only as far as saying I am quite pleased with what I am hearing from them.
The main reason I bought them, well I have the AirPods and they do not drain out any outside sound/noise whatsoever and I grew tried of cranking them. At least the Bragi have passive noise isolation, with the comply tips which come packaged I am also quite pleased to get more of the music than the AirPods could deliver without having to crank them. Trust me when I say any concern of low volume is not what I have experienced whatsoever with my set. One would go deaf cranking them.
Easy peasy to pair, one can have 4 devices connected and the Bragi will remember. Not necessary having to pair them again.
I liked the posts Paco made, he was kind enough to give unbiased viewpoints and his assessment of this product is spot on.
I wii not continue to crank the AirPods any longer, I will use them in a dead quiet environment but the Bragi’s are now my go to for pretty darn good isolation. There may be the slightest of hiss coming from them when no music is playing but that is totally gone even at low volumes.
