ClieOS: really big, may be bigger than with q-JAYS, funny about D2 is that you will never use highest volume but there is "force" inside

Kees: right decision i think. and let them to burn in, i think i hear little differences. and dont use smallest pads, there is something in their sound that makes me feel strange

Can you give us your initial impressions in terms of sound characteristics?

The thing is, the RRP is nearly twice the price as the Grado SR60 (129.99USD). Would you recommend them over the SR60's?

i bought these jays for 100 bucks, i've heard grados, but it is long time ago, and with different player. sound of grados was perfectly airy but something was missing, everytime i put c-jays on my ears i am satisfied

for that characteristics: i use medium pads, so part of sound depends on them, the style of sound is partly like PortaPro, only in the way that they plays every tone like it could be the last one in their life(rest of sound characteristics of portapro isn't there, fortunately), dynamics is perfect, i was using last six month q-JAYS, really good IEMs, i think c-JAYS are even better, with "q" some kind of music, like nightwish, wasn't really pleasant to my ears, with "c" everything fine. "c" have bass as it is thought, sometimes tight, sometimes wide and soft. middles are fine, interesting, i don't know how to describe it, highs are not as crisp as with largest pads, but they are still really good. unfortunately you almost can't use these JAYS with iphone or something like that, you hear every small difference between mp3players, it is same feeling as was when i tried to use sennheiser cx300 after two months of using q-JAYS, feeling that you have to turn it off, cause it is really pain for your ears and mind.

so you'd say that these are a serious consideration, unlike headphones like the Ultrasone icans, akg k450 (ridiculously priced!) and other portable but expensive headphones?

how do the c-jays compare to ES7 and D1001 in terms of sound quality?

 

[M3NTAL]

I think these are absolutely brilliant from a marketing standpoint. The packaging is AMAZING!

I'd love to hear these someday! The Swedes know how to make a nice product

Clios:
Have you gotten your pair ?? and if so what do you think ??

 

[FYJX]

I love my c-jays XD, they are fantastic after burn in!

 

[analogbox]

I'll be getting mine in a few days. So, I'll be able to chim in on them also.

 

[kingbuzzo]

from owning Qjays, I'm quite convinced that Jays are capable of making some awesome gear. Very tempted to get these.

 

[analogbox]

I just got the c-jays today. Upon trying it on, I loved the way c-jays looked. It looks very clean and not bulky at all with the small foams. My initial impression is kind of a mixed bag but they need to be burned in before any assessments. I doubt that I'm going to see a huge change in sound after but only time will tell.

 

[shigzeo]

not the nicest looking phones but im sure they sound good. but for over 100usd, i would expect some more metal in the design: they look all plastic

 

[kingbuzzo]

there are a couple reviews up at various sites. Not sure if they should be taken seriously at all. But they aren't exactly glowing reviews.
