These vs the Bragi Headphones?
PtomertyHi, The Bragi Headphones are larger in size and do have some control features built into the earbud. As far as sound performance in my opinion the I am Sound have a strong bass as well as overall sound. The price point on the I am Sound is much better than others in the marketplace. In addition, the price the Massdrop is offering I am Sound is superior to any other retailer on the market.

PtomertyBragi "The Headphone" headphones had a really low max volume in my experience , they are bigger and a little less comfortable, and when you put the headphones back in the case they did not turn off or dissconnect from the phone, an issue that tripped me up many times. But it had its good sides too, the transparent audio (or whatever the mode is called that allows outside audio to be played over the speaker) was awesome and the charging case held a much better charge.
These headphones (or rather, the rowkins I have that are the same from what it seems) have more volume, but are a little unbalanced sounding, their connection to one another is sometimes a little wonky (a problem that does not impact the bragis because they use a different technology to connect with one another, these ones use bluetooth. I hear this earpeace disconnecting and reconnecting from time to time issue is much worse for folks who keep their phones in their pockets, I have very few issues with keeping my phone in my purse though and rarely wear pants with pockets :/ so I cant speak to it all that much). Some very real things that do bother me about these involve how it charges. Its charger gets split open to plug in, and one half can go behind the other half, (thus going over one of the ear pieces, and while the battery of the charger is charging, that internal ear piece is charging, but the other ear piece does not charge until you take it off the charger, and re-attach the two halves back together at the center, allowing the batteries power to pass to the second ear piece (this may just be a defect in mine though). Also, now that I have had them a bit, the chargers battery has weakened enough to not be able to signal that the ear pieces should be shut off when placed on the charger.... though up until about a month ago, this feature always worked fine. OH! And, when you start playing music/sound/whatever from these ones, they make the sound fade in, presumably to not suddenly blast super loud music into your ear if you arnt expecting it. This is fine for normal music and such, but in some apps that play short sounds (in my case, memrise for learning another language) it does not get up to an audible volume until the short sound clip is already over, so I cant use it with these headphones.
Overall, I like these more though, to the point where I am looking at the ones that come with the larger rowkin charger which will hopefully help me get past the only issues I currently really have.
