The q-Jays earbuds are reborn, but are they worth $320?
When spending big on audiophile headphones, folks may look at over-ear models like Masters & Dynamic's MH40 or open cans from the likes of Ultrasone. But earbuds? I doubt those are topping many people's sonic bucket lists. With that in mind, it's rare to see products like Swedish company Jays' new q-Jays unveiled for $320 -- on sale, no less. Yet, quality earphones can sound just as good as high-end headphones, as companies like Shure have proved. And I believe Jays has put enough style, engineering and sound quality into its next-gen 'buds to justify that lofty price.
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.
JAYS unveils miniscule q-JAYS earbuds
It's been far too long since our ears could listen to a new pair of JAYS, but the company is finally introducing a brand new set dubbed q-JAYS. Deemed the "smallest earphones on the market," these diminutive buds boast dual micro armatures, the bass-enhancing AirBooster, silicon sleeves in a variety of sizes, and a flexible cable setup to boot. Additionally, the q-JAYS arrive with a white leather case, two extension cords, a flight / stereo adapter, and seven total pairs of sleeves. The price? Just $180 -- and those in the UK can look forward to a probable release in the not-too-distant future. Click on for a couple closeups.[Thanks, Adam]
