JAYS launches Jens' latest: j-JAYS, m-JAYS

by Ryan Block, posted Nov 23rd 2006 at 4:59PM

We were wondering when Jens Nylander would be back to announce more JAYS products, and here we are, sitting on j-JAYS, and m-JAYS. So let's break this down, shall we? The j-JAYS (shown right, above, compared to JAYS' current d-JAYS), are actually aimed at Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, with the the m-JAYS (shown after the break with white j-JAYS) serve as a cord extender with mic and answering phone (in case you wanted to do more than just listen to music on your mobile); the d-JAYS are full-size device (i.e. 3.5mm) headphones, aimed at more regular use. j-JAYS, m-JAYS will set you back 495 SEK (listed in here for $50), 295 SEK (~$30), and will be sold through Swedish 3 stores in December before eventually making their way to the US -- sorry, no firm dates for Stateside launch just yet, but their US site says December as well.

Hey Mr. Reviewer -- you missed the point. These are sound isolation headphones. (understandably -- their website is as confusing as their name.) They have a closed back and a silicon rubber earpiece to accousstically isolate the ear canal. As far as I know this was started by Sony a few years back with their "Nude" series. Now it seems everyone in Akihabara has a copy. Is this type available in USA yet? The Sony ones work great. I travel a lot and they are way better than the Bose active isolation headphones.
