Comparison with something in its price range? Delta maybe.

My other in ears are the Brainwavz S5, S0, Vsonic GR01, and the HiFi-Man RE-Zero. When I do my review these will be the others I compare these to. I will say that I like these better than the S5 and S0. I just prefer the frequency response of these better. These sound somewhat similar to the GR01 and the RE-Zero. They aren't as good as the GR01 or the RE-Zero, but these cost a fraction of what those cost. They do share a similar overall sound though. Neutral, detailed, and mostly flat.

The GR01 used to go for around $200, and I think the RE-Zero went for around $100. So against those it would be an unfair comparison. Again, the tuning is similar, so if you wanted something that sounds neutral, detailed, and pretty flat these would be a very good option if your budget was $50 or less.

These Jives really have no huge glaring fault my, at least not that I have noticed yet. I will try to use these as my only portable earphone for the next few days, maybe a week and then ill write my actual review. But so far, these are great for the price if this is the kind of sound signature you are after.

Also, isolation with the right tips is pretty impressive with these as well. I have a fairly loud window air conditioner running only 8 feet or so from my and with music playing I don't hear it at all, even paused with no music I can barely hear it. These appear to be sealed, I have not found a port/vent hole anywhere on them.

I assumed that most people will go for the ink blue and chose the army green for a change.

[suman134]

Yeah, its like ink from our ball pen. More Purplish than blue.

wonder how the green version would be, im having one on its way =P

 

[hurr]

Wondering how these compare against the Xiaomi Piston 2’s or 3’s. If anyone who has / will get Jives has Pistons as well, I'd love to hear a comparison.

Received The Jive today for my reviews (my German audio blog and Head-Fi), more to come in the next two weeks.

Here are some first impression pics:

ooo the green looks very nice! I opted for the ink blue and I quite like its rich color as well!

How would this compare to the M2?

 I dont have the M2 and Jive is not with me yet, but i can tell you that Jive wont be as bassy as M2.

 

[shiris]

I should read better.
 
The brainwavz B2 has been my favorite IEM since I've received them.  I've been looking for cheaper alternatives when I'm out and about, would I be correct in assuming these are like the cheaper/lower version of the B2 that I don't have to worry about babying when I'm out and about?
