I have just gotten my sweaty little hands on the newest JAYS phones the c-JAYS..

This is not an inear phone but a phone a bit like the px100/200 in size an use.

They come with 3 sets of pads a big GS1000 style bowl, the middle one is about the size of a pad for RS2, the smallest one only covers the drivers.

The drivers are of a new type that is elastic, according to the booklet that is laid in the package..

The 3 types of foam pads make is possible to change the signature of the phones, which in my opinion is kind of cool..

The big pads give details up the wazoo and a huge soundstage, the middle ones gives a more neutral phone with less soundstage, the smallest ones gives tons of bass..

The details and soundstage goes down with the padsize and the amount of bass goes up..

I will have further impressions in the days to come...

No I am not allowed, but in some weeks there will be an official press release from JAYS.

 

[BloodSugar00]

Ah ok. Well, look forward to the press release then!

Looking forward to hear more! Hard to imagine a PX100 sized headphone with GS1000 bowls.

Yeah, they look a bit funny with the big bowls, they are not as big as the Grado ones, but it is close and they sound amazing, for a budget phone..

 

[4saken]

Alright squeeze more details out of this guy! Are they open or closed?

Guessing they're open

This is epic news people!

A little more info regarding the size of the pads..
the big one is the same size as a dt880 pad..
The middle one has the size of a bear/sodacan.
the smal one is apr. 3,5 cm * 3,5 cm.

and yes they are alle squares..

Comfortwise they are very light and does not clamp your ears, they are not the most comfortable phones I have tried, but I have no problems using them for 3-5 hours and compared to a lot of phones they are quite comfortable, about the same level as a dt880..

What's the build quality on these babies? Are they made out of plastic or metal?

 

[Claus-DK]

I really can not tell, I have only had them for a couple of days, but they feels sturdy and looks like a luxery portable phone, they do look special because of the square driverenclosere..

Can't wait to hear/see more about these! Are you aware of and at liberty to discuss potential release dates and prices, Claus-DK?
