t-JAYS Four let you listen to your iOS device, look cool while doing it
The latest headphones from Sweden's Jays don't stray too far from the design that defined their predecessors -- but hey, if it ain't broke... The slick earbuds were built to work with iPhones, iPads and iPods, offering up 10mm drivers, a 360 MEMS microphone and a three button controller. The t-JAYS Four are available, as always, in black, and will be begin shipping in November -- or, as the company puts it "when [they're] ready" -- for $129 a pop. Press information can be located just behind the break.
Jays aims for long-term comfort with stylish t-Jays earbuds
We heard that Jays was gearing up to ship a baker's half-dozen of new headphones this year, and we've got to say -- the t-Jays ain't a bad way to get things rolling. Designed with a "warm and wide soundstage," these 'buds boast an angled sound chamber optimized for delivering deep bass, and Jays proclaims that these might be the best earphones yet for extended listening sessions. They can be worn over the ear or straight in, and the cord has been designed to sit closer to the body in order to reduce burden placed on the ear. As with some of the outfit's other offerings, these too will ship in One, Two or Three flavors -- each will boast the same speaker size, but the frequency response and amount of bundled extras increases with each level. They'll be lookin' to take on Sleek Audio's SA1 and Klipsch's Image S4 when they land in May for $79, $89 and $99 in order of mention. [Thanks, Tommy]
Jays to ship seven new earbuds this year, prestige x-JAYS included
We hate to point out the obvious, but it's been a hot minute (or two, actually) since we've seen any new gear from Sweden's own Jays. Evidently the company's been hoarding up its wares for a mass introduction, as seven new products were brought to the public's attention this week. The new a-JAYS and t-JAYS are both slated to hit the market in Q1 of this year, with each series being available in three different styles with different sound features. Each will ship with a protective travel case, and for those with extra coin to spend, a gaggle of accessories should also be available. The x-JAYS (citing as the "prestige" model) will ship in Q2, and these are described as being the planet's smallest in-ear headphones with a quadro armature. Mum's the word on pricing, but we're guessing they'll be somewhere between "reasonable" and "are you kidding me?" [Thanks, Anders]
