Also in the package is the new J-Jays which I can't wait to put up against my V-moda bass freqs as they're in the same ~50USD price range. I also can't wait to see if the q-Jays can become a "budget" UM2 from what I've read. It's too bad there's a publication ban on these babies because they really are the smallest damn IEM I've ever seen. Imagine ER-4s minified to the max. You'll have to let us know Peter when we can leak pictures :q-JAYSsmile:.

I sure will

The retail version will be such an improvment in finish so it's not fair to show these buddys public yet. I hope you all understand that decision even if it's hard

Hi Peter please sign me up for a pair of q-JAYS, as soon as they hit the stores....

BTW it is much easier to write Q-jays than q-JAYS, but I will try to comply....

Peter, are you hoping to improve availability to North American customers pretty soon? Or do you plan to just distrubute to few North Americna based resellers??

I can't find the Djays anywhere besides your site and headphone.com.

 

[kite7]

So will these come with foamies , triple flanges or single?

We have two retailers in Canada and one in the US right now but there will more in US, Europe and so on, but we have to have control too. We are a relative small company still and we want to keep the quality between customers and JAYS number one so one step in time

kite7: We are trying different types out so it's not definite what will be in the retail package yet.

The clip we talked about. It will come Cheers!

Aah... I'll have to go back and edit my typos... Sorry about that

I re-worded that entire paragraph so it makes more sense.

I think you guys are at an interesting cross-roads. I think the Grado fans are going to want more aggressive mids (900-4500 Hz), yet the sennheiser and AKG crowd would probably prefer them just the way they are.

Personally I think they sound very good just the way they are. One of the q-JAYS strengths is its sense of ambience and soundstage separation. Which I think you should try and do everything you can to retain (BIG plus here!!). If you tweek things to push forward the midrange tones (like a Grado) then you run the risk of collapsing in the sound-stage image.

Just to throw one out there for you Peter, what colour options are we looking at for the q-JAYS?

. To start with it's just a black version but we'll see what comes later

Kramer5150: The retail version will not change in the mids.

PetCed: Hmm, how about you asking Jens Nylander himself about the possibility of a surprise showing of the q-Jays at my university (in the small too-quiet town of Skövde, Sweden) where he de facto will be a guest lecturer the day after tomorrow (on entrepreneurship amongst other things)? Oh, well, at least I tried... ;D Anyhow, I'll definitely be there to listen to him!

Wha...!?

And I'll bring my Headphonia, my er4 and a pair of judicious ears!

Nah, even if we won't be allowed to try them out, at least I'll be able to see them in all their tiny glory, it seems, which is far better than I expected anyway, yay!

 

[joze7205]

I hope you make them as comfy as the d-JAYS.

 

[epithetless]

I hope they're terribly uncomfortable...

If you like the d-JAYS, then you'll love the q-JAYS

. At least in my ear they fit better and are more easy to get there. Earcanals are individuel but I think I talk for the big crowd in this case.

 

[kite7]

Can these been worn over the ear?
