Sorry for the delay, the Q-Jays just came in yesterday, and I was driving all day, so I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet. I'm on my second hour of testing with 'em right now, and I just switched to Shure olive foamies for better isolation. The stock tips were okay, but I'm not a big fan of the no-flange rubber tips.

Initial impressions are that they have Ety kind of clarity with better bass. I'm not sure whether I like them better than my Atrios or not, I think I'll have to listen to them for a while to give a real chance. The bass definitely doesn't have the impact that the Atrio bass does, but I thought the M5s were almost a little too strong at times in the early testing with those. It might be that my ears need to come down from being accustomed to that before I can really evaluate the Q-Jays.
