I auditioned these recently for a brief time. I found them to be warm, it may be a hair too warm for me, but I think these are good headphones. I'm not sure I like the tips though, as I'm not sure what the arsenal is and where you can get them in a pinch. If I needed foamies, like now, can I run to a store and buy some.

They are so tiny that I'm afraid to break something.

I wish it had more impact though (it has the armature bass impact if you've ever bass boosted an armature driver you'll know what I mean), and I too would love a direct comparison with the M5.

The tips are no problem at all, the nozzle fits an airtube (from aquarium) cut a small piece of, then buy a pair of foamplugs and drill holes insert tubes, mount it on the q-JAYS, and you are set...

Nice review. Been waiting for the production one so long. Comparo has its own pros and cons so, a stand-alone review is very useful too.

wait a sec, those white and metallic blue d-JAYS were the s-JAYS prototype ?

anyways, still havent answered my questions towards these headphones,

1) how are they compared to similar priced IEM´s, directly the UE super.fi 5 pro and the futuresonics atrio M5

2)will jays play the 1:1 game that most electronics manufacturers play, meaning that a $180 means a 180 euro price tag, which makes them 30% more expencive in the EU, or will they put a balanced price, making them cost around 135-140 euros,

excuse me if i seem a bit rude, but its probobly the 3rd time i make the same question, and i have yet to get a straight answer to both of them,

In this or next week I will try to find some time to listen to the s-JAYS and I will of course drop a line or two in here..

I have not heard any of the other IEMs you mentioned, so with this I can not help you..

last one is more up to Peter to know and reply on..

Nope..
I and others need a green light from JAYS first.

i must admit those d-jays did put a sting in the q-jays presentation,the q-jays look ok but theres a sense of fragility about them,im all up for those d-jays now they looked super cool in that improved electric blue colour

You schould see the other colours..... personally I like the pink one the most..

OHH I am such a tease...

The q-JAYS seems quite sturdy to me, not fragile at all..

Any word from JAYS yet kramer? I'd love to see those new colours and it is surely only a few days now till the September launch??

kramer, Claus, and others who have seen the new d-JAYS colours: would you say the new metallic colours look nicer than the older plain black/plain white? Would you say that you prefer the coloured ones over the plain ones?

 

[Claus-DK]

The coloured one every day all day long, would be my choice and it does not even matter which colour..

Judged by looks that is, I have not heard the new d-JAYS..

 

[Bigburger]

It is almost September

sooner rather than later in September I would hope...

Soundwise they are exactly the same. And the colors do look even better in real than on the pictures you've got Claus

They are not far away now.. Hang in there.

 

[kramer5150]

Sorry... I can't post pics of my metallic orange pair... IMHO they look much better than the plain-jane black / white versions. They look HOT, like getting passed up by one of these...

 

[Bigburger]

Well, its September! Keenly waiting. I hope these d-JAYS come out in the next week or so hopefully?

I have some concern about the white cord however: does it easily get marked/discoloured? Like when I used to take my iBuds to the gym, the white cord used to pick up some sweat/grit and become a little discoloured. The coating could be scratched off, but its not something I'd like to do to the d-JAYS cord.
