Jays q-Jays

The q-Jays are a resurrected, new and improved version of what are in my mind one of the best pairs of headphones of the last decade. You may not have heard of the original Jays q-Jays, but they were quite special.

q-JAYS Dual Micro Armature Earphones review

A pair of earphones that redefine what's meant by punching above your weight

Great sound ; Lightweight ; Comfortable ; Ambient sound isolating ; Large accessory package

Expensive

Great sound with a broad range of music, but prohibitively expensive

Jays q-JAYS review

One of the smallest in-ear design around, the q-Jays are hugely effective, sounding good and weighing next to nothing

Tiny ; full-throated sound ; effective noise cancellation

Cheaper rivals

Hugely effective, the q-Jays sound good and weigh nothing. Only the premium price sounds a false note

The Jays q-Jays are excellent in-ear headphones that have sound quality equal to other high end established headphone brands. If you are interested in shelling out more than a hundred pounds on high quality portable in-ear headphones, these should be...

Jays q-JAYS Review

The q-JAYS headphones offer superb sound in a compact case.

Well built, tiny, excellent sound

Bass lacks a little depth, supplied case is very small

You'll be impressed with the sound quality and comfort offered by this tiny set of headphones. They're lightweight, so it's easy to fit inside even the smallest ear, and while they may not be the top choice for bassy playback, the quality of the...

Jays q-Jays in-ear headphones

Jays q-Jays review: These in-ear headphones have excellent sound quality

Tiny size, excellent sound quality and detail, wide variety of included eartips

We don't like the cord length, changing the eartips is fiddly work

If you've got a bit of money to spend on some high quality in-ear headphones, we'd definitely consider the Jays q-Jays to be a strong contender. They're on par with high-end performers from audio specialists like Ultimate Ears and have excellent sound...

Jays q-Jays Review

Jays has really created a set of unique earphones in the q-Jays that feel almost hand-crafted for a specific set of user.

Jays has really created a set of unique earphones in the q-Jays. They feel almost hand-crafted for a specific set of user, which is fine. But at a price tag close to $200 we feel that there are some better models to choose from for the...

Jays q-JAYS IEM review – a second shot at excellence

Apple's forced demise of the 3.5 mm headphone jack has ironically brought headphones and earphones into the spotlight, with many wondering whether wired audio accessories are still worth their salt. Audiophiles and audio professionals will...

Premium build quality ; Firm, tight bass ; Excellent mid-range and treble ; Good Isolation

High treble peaks ; High price tag

While the q-Jays themselves can work with almost any audio source, Jays also offers different cables for different devices. The Audio-only cable will get you a simple, straight, no fuss cable. But you can also take your pick from iOS, Android, and even...
