Rock Jaw Alfa Genus

 

The Alfa Genus headphones are Rock Jaw's attempt to bring audio versatility to budget in-ear headphones. They come with three discrete screw-in tuning filters, each carrying their own distinct sound.

Versatile sound ; Slick, premium design ; Great value for money

Not very secure fit ; Tips/filters need better storage ; Unimpressive noise isolation

The Rock Jaw Alfa Genus is perfect for those who want more bang for their buck from in-ear headphones, but don’t want to break the bank with more premium cans. The design is classy, the sound is on point, and the filters – however fiddly – make them a...

Rock Jaw Alfa Genus review

 

Even the lure of interchangeable filters can't rescue these disappointing in-ears...

Decent balance ; Relatively smooth sound

Poor sense of timing ; Unexceptional dynamics ; Lack of sensitivity

The Rock Jaw Alpha Genus are simply too far off the pace of the class leaders for us to recommend them

Rock Jaw Alfa Genus review

 

You probably haven't heard of British company RockJaw, but that doesn't matter one jot. What matters is the quality of the headphones it produces, and the Alfa Genus in-ear buds are truly astonishing for this price.

If you want great-quality sound at an affordable price, and don’t need a headset and remote control, the Alfa Genus are the in-ear headphones for you.

Rock Jaw Alfa Genus Review: British Engineering at a Killer Price

 

Three different tuning filters give you distinct sonic signatures Sound that varies from punchy and exciting to open and immersive Soundstaging and sonic signatures can be set to your liking Comfortable, well-built and decent looking

Cheap-looking cable, plug and in-line remote Sound isolation with included ear tips is average at best

Yet again, a small company has managed to surprise us. Rock Jaw has produced an affordable gem in the Alfa Genus in-ears. Interchangeable filters aren't new, but the sonic signatures are much more distinct in each case. As such, you're getting three...

Versatile and Effective - The Rock Jaw Alfa Genus

 

Hello Head-Fi! ROCK JAW audio was kind enough to ask me to review their Alfa Genus IEM, so here is my honest opinion of the product that they provided. I'll be touching on several different aspects of the IEMs, including the build quality, packaging,...

Quite versatile because of the filter system, very cost effective

No cable cinch, L/R markings are hard to read

Very Impressive Performance & Price Ratio.

 

Firstly, I'd like to thank Rock Jaw for the Alfa Genus sample. Only a few weeks ago I hadn't heard of the company Rock Jaw, however through a friend was offered to sample one of their new products. Being more than interested in the filter adjustment...

Natural timbre, Detail, 3 Adjustable tuning filters, Cable, Packaging

L/R Markings far too small, no cable cinch, Treble filters too bright

A Fantastic Entry Into the IEM Scene

 

RockJaw is an up and coming headphone company from Great Britain starting strong with a huge lineup. The Alfa Genus is one of their midrange offerings and offers a certain special something that is rarely seen in the IEM world other than a few OEM's....

Customizable sound, great bass timbre with the bassy filter, great value

Treble-heavy filter can be a bit too bright
