Tiny q-Jays earphones hit your neighborhood

Like small things? Really small things? Things that are so small you might lose them easily? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then we've got the totally ill-riffic earphones for you. Those tiny (but not tinny, apparently) q-Jays earbuds we told you about back in August have officially hit the scene -- so all that money saving you've been doing can be put to good use. The buds may be small, but apparently their sound is anything but, touting dual micro armatures, JAYS Sound Isolating System, a sensitivity of 95 dB @ 1 kHz, impedance of 39 Ohms @ 1 kHz, and a frequency response from 20Hz to 20,000 Hz. The earbuds come with a slew of accessories, including an I- and L-shaped connector, seven silicon ear sleeves, four canal filters, an airline adapter, a stereo splitter (for two-person use), and a carrying case. The tiny wonders can be yours in black or white right now, for the low, low price of $179.

just how 'isolating' are they?

[John M @ Sep 17th 2007 10:12AM]

Why couldnt they include something like this with the iphone

[sir.keekles @ Sep 17th 2007 10:16AM]

I ask myself the same question. Iphone/ipod headphones are utter crap. It would be nice if apple actually improved the quality of the headphones to compliment their products. I guess that would cut into their accessory sales too much...

@ Sir Kek

No Doubt...I cant keep those apple headphones in my ear for more than about 10 minutes....It would be one thing if the iphone speaker had any clarity then maybe it could actually be used

Damn you apple, next time force me to pay $179 more for something that I might want! Don't give me options!

[Michael Tober @ Sep 17th 2007 1:11PM]

Wow... Your a smart one huh.

[Tom @ Sep 17th 2007 10:21AM]

I will ask the same question i always ask about earphones now:

do they fit in the iphone?

[John M @ Sep 17th 2007 10:27AM]

Way past that...about 5% of earphones actually fit in the recessed hole...Buy that adapter from Apple...its the only thing that I can play my iphone over my car stero with

Where are these available again? Not Audio Cubes, not Headroom. Not in the U.S. as far as I can tell?

the white ones look small, but the black model is huge! /sarcasm

[KazSur @ Sep 18th 2007 9:07AM]

"low,low price"?? That better be sarcasm.

Last I checked $179 was still a little high for me (and assuming most "normal people") to pay for earphones.. I know they are noise-isolating and what not.. but come on..

Anyone backing me up on this??
