Nah...there is still 22 mins Eastern Standard Time.

Sorry for taknig so long to respond.

I haven't really spent enough time to really get a good grasp on the M5s, so I can't comment on that. The Super.fis on the other hand I find have overpronounced treble and bass, which is a good thing for rock, but doesn't share the same neutral frequency distribution as the q-JAYS.

Price-wise, I'm pretty sure that JAYS doesn't do the 1:1 pricing arrangement. You'd have to ask a JAYS representative that question.

I've taken white cords around a bit and I haven't noticed any colour changes or marks. It's a kelvar covered cable which will resist a good part of the damages as kevlar stays fairly clean.

Just for some clarification, apparantly the coloured d-JAYS aren't supposed to be shown yet. Thus, I've cut them out of the video and will put another one up. Even if it was very low quality video, I won't take the chance. Check back some time in the future for some pictures of it.

 

[Aevum]

just one question, the colored d-JAYS are d-JAYS or are prototype casings ?

 

[jorgillo]

I´ve just received an email from Jays announcing q-JAYS pre-release!

The web site is now updated and you can also see the colored d-JAYS!!

absolutly unfair, US price is 179 dollars, which is 131 euros, and EU price is 183 euros ? 249 dollars ?

unless you can point out some EU tax to make them almost 40% more expencive, i think im going to strech a bit and go for a pair of triple.fi

Yeah I'm in the Netherlands, it's kind of strange that I can order the d-jays in the U.S. from Audiocubes and including shipping they are much cheaper than ordering directly from Jays website which is inside EU.

 

[jinx20001]

strange pricing,america is always cheaper tho,itunes store is another example of that,no disrespect to americans tho they just luckier i spose lol

 

[jinx20001]

the blue is nice,the line really could do with a nice crimson red or something tho,bring a bit of warmth to the colour,seems a bit washed out at the moment

yep i think this pricing also is fatal and will reduce sales,should do anyway,i am not paying that price id rather stretch like you and get what is inevitably going to be much better

 

[Aevum]

im sorry, this is totaly unfair, were getting a 40% surcharge from a european company, if it was an american company or a chinese company, i would understand, but this is a company which is based and operates inside the EU, and its creating a 40% increase in price for european costumers, the price of someone living in europe is incremented in 50 euros compared to someone living in the US, its cheaper, i dont get it,

taxes on electronics in europe range between 12 and 21%, here in spain its 16%, so can someone please explain to me a 40% differance in price ?

 

[ajmiarka]

Yeah, but shipping from Jays to the US is $40 USD for DHL service. Might as well wait until they are available at AudioCubes.

 

[Aevum]

if im ordering from the states and risking customs, ill go for the triple.fi insted, 260 euros with the 10% discount on headphone solutions
