Marshall Major Headphones Review

marshall major headphones reviewThe good: to remove a receiver easier, more attractive Marshall noise outside and have a great platform that adapts to any style of music.
The bad: The vinyl cushions and keep warm on the ear design can be uncomfortable after several hours of continuous use.
In short: the helmet a solid legacy of Marshall Major Marshall, with a familiar and a good sound to match its line of A.


Presentation
Porter closed ear noise canceling feature Marshall Majors to go to work, school and everywhere. Priced at $ 100, offer an excellent and detailed functional design of the main elements as a band and wrapped in a Tolex inch jack cable that is synonymous with the name of Marshall. With a few complaints, and questions of form and ears warm after prolonged listening, earphones offer the clothing style and the ability of its most brilliant and Marshall would be an attractive purchase for your next pair of headphones.
Design and functionality
It is difficult to compare the main Marshall headphones any listening devices in the market with its line of Marshall Amps sound. All black and wears a similar aesthetic aware of Marshall amplifiers, and businesses take the position of the signal in the white left and right external ears.
In fact, the band covered with soft leather and vinyl is a flexible material Tolex Marshall, Fender electric guitar and guitar case Coffin case since 1960 has wrapped. This acts as an extra layer of protection against the elements while they spend.
The rest of the structure is the same attention and - hidden in 40 mm headphone Dual Driver behind a nonwoven fabric in a grid, and the external receiver is covered in black leather, which feels good when you use head. In addition, the bread can adjust the height of the metal cage and folds in the end zone for conservation organizations.
Marshall curiously omits a plastic bag from the contents of the pack, but we give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it is necessary, taking into account the plastic lines and rubber gaskets and thick headphones headphones. In any case, the new headphones with a big Marshall one-year warranty.
The unilateral 6-foot cable connects the left ear and includes part of several inches in a downward spiral, and added that additional clearance is useful if you want to use the music player in a backpack or bag. The 3.5 mm connector is unique and is based on the design of the guitar with extra strong spring strain relief and a son additional quarter-inch adapter included.
Although no functional use, headphones, we expect that even small details like gold leaf mark custom connection ear Marshall and drummer Jim Marshall signature on the ribbon that adds a personal element, the printed cans.
Performance
More technically Marshall helmet-shaped ear, style, closed an excellent choice for those hoping to drown out the noise. Our anecdotal evidence have shown that little world of music out of its loss, so it's good for plane rides on public transport, where privacy is crucial.
Musically, the old Marshall in the same level as same price range Sennheiser PX 100-III, with the exception of the majors to play a bigger sound, "more alive" than the PX-100 Open Back III seems low end and focus on the fight with a light jazz and classical harmonies.
Marshall tried to keep the race in a week and listen to almost all types of music, and even though we are surprised with their dynamic sound quality of the rooms of the leather feel the heat and can cause fatigue After a couple of hours of operation not a big deal, but you should know if you want to use headphones for a full day of work.
Conclusions
Marshall Main headphones are suitable for anyone shopping for the isolation of headphones passive noise and the noise contours of the demand for 40 mm driver almost any receiver, regardless of gender. Until we offer for the year, most of Marshall is an attractive purchase for the next hearing.

Etymotic er-4 pt micropro Headphones Review

Etymotic ER-4 PT MicroPro Headphones reviewThe good: The Etymotic ER-4 MicroPro headphones points are accurate and balanced. Clarity and precision of high out detail in the shooting, and have a balance richer and more satisfying than the Etymotic HF5s low-and middle. The ER-4 points are solidly constructed, and include a case and airplane adapter.
The bad: The plastic cap thickness around the points of ER-4 "may be able to restrict access to certain smart phones and cases of audio If you really like the weak points of the ER-4. is a short "bit. Full sound insulation and son in connection with the vibrations may interfere with on-the-go listening.
Conclusion: Although the Etymotic ER-4 headphones points is less dark low-end as some of its competitors in this price range that offer great sound in highly accurate tonal balance.


First, a little light. If you do not realize that you have four versions of earphones Etymotic ER-4 MicroPro series, each of which sells for $ 299. According to the company in order to break the differences:
The Etymotic ER-4B MicroPro is "binaural recording and control used in a professional environment."
The Etymotic ER-4S MicroPro, the company is "stereo headphone jack and adapted to control the public through a newspaper or power" versus "control panel" of the house.
The Etymotic ER-4P MicroPro is the mainstream of the federal government, designed for those with a portable audio device, such as the home key.
The Etymotic MicroPro ER-4PT, discussed here, is the latest version of the 4P. Etymotic says the mobile professional who uses his headphones on airplanes and the job is done.
To be clear, the ER-4P and ER-4 points essentially the same products, but in a different format. The ER-4PT used various types of adapters for airplanes and is also a table that explains the channel according to its owner who had ER-4PT all accuracy tests, and each channel has voted and approved by certified the 2 dB within a defined range.
(If you're still confused, please visit the website for a detailed explanation of the Etymotic ER-4 MicroPro series the way. Here are the model numbers too numerous to four very similar products, seems to suggest the number of Etymotic. SKUs to make things as simple as possible for the buyer.)
Well, now under consideration. The first thing you will notice that Etymotic, the handset has also long been a bit "thin cylinder that feels almost like jam sticks in his ears, not a bad thing to do in this case. Etymotic models are made of this way, and there is a point from the aesthetic point of view, these guys stand out from your ears "a little over a pair of headphones.
They have two "Accu-fit" design olives insulation (foam and silicone rubber) to seal the ear from the outside world completely. You can also create their own "custom fit" cap to provide $ 100 Etymotic.
In general, the earphones ER-4PT well designed with a main metal body of the helmet is divided into two twisted son strengthened for each listener. (ER-4PT is guaranteed for two years.) One complaint: the plastic around the headphone jack of a right angle through the thickness, and when a case is not in the portable audio device or smartphone (like a iPod Touch) you may be able to get the plug into the audio jack (the examiner could not include in your iPhone without removing the case).
It is also interesting to note that, because so closely with these headphones, you can really hear much of the outside world, which can be dangerous if you are in the city on foot and must be aware of this sound is happening around. We also noted that the line of clothes when we went to listen. So ideally, these headphones are perfect for stationary listening. (These two issues are common to these headphones.)
What is the sound quality we love. The ER-4PT is more rational - the tonal balance of the majority of in-ear headphones in its class - and you can tell. It is, lack of maturity very low in many high-end headphones. The clarity and precision ER-4PT high you feel exactly what is happening in the recording.
We began our comparison of ER-4PT public with cheaper HF5 Etymotic in-ear headphones, while the new Gregg Allman "Low Blues" album. Both headsets have a similar sound, but the points ER-4 "has a low average balance of bass and richer and more satisfying. The vaccine has very seriously, and we feel we lack HF5s about it.
That is, if you really like the low points ER-4 is too short. It is certainly less dark than the monster low end of the turbine Pro Gold-ear headphones. While listening to "Green Onions" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "The Live Anthology" CD, we believe that one of the most dynamic and powerful guitars and drums really cut the ER-4PT. The weight of gold turbine Pro and adds strength to the bass, but softened the battery of attack against ER-4PT. The turbine is still good professional gold helmet, not as accurate as the ER-4PT.
The accuracy of the ER-4PT, it is easy for the difference in sound quality between the two CD live from Bob Marley, who recently released "Live Forever:. Live at the Stanley Theatre, "" Live at the Roxy "Stanley and listen to the album as a slightly distorted, so that the plates diffuses the sound of drums. Songs of Roxy are bright and clear, and feels that the public is really a great time. The ER-4PT give more music you have a helmet, and if the music sounds good it feels - it's what you need headphones, will cost $ 300.

Sennheiser HD 201 headphones Review

Sennheiser HD 201 headphones ReviewThe good: The Sennheiser HD 201 is very comfortable to use and rugged construction will last a long time. Loss of noise to a minimum, and the overall sound is well balanced.
The bad: The HD 201 headphone cable is too long for portable use, and the expression does not come with a protected nature conservation there, and the maximum volume is lower than the market price of the helmet in its class.
Conclusion: Despite the ultra-cheap headphones Sennheiser HD 201 provide a natural sound and capable of a performance, you can change the problem of low volume when listening to music in environments with heavy traffic.


The $ 30 Sennheiser HD 201 are of great value to the user is simply looking for a quality headset that the few bad storage without spending a ton of updates. The 201S HD is far from audiophile quality, rather than low-end, the determination of the headphones more expensive than the competition, but we have to build a casual listener, the satisfaction of his pleasant, balanced and may recommend a discount market.
Design and functionality
HD 201 headphones are a pair of size, which is a circumaural design features (the ear) and includes an adapter gold plated 1/4-inch, which seems simple 1/8-inch plug. A limited swivel design is done in the hinge of the plot, and each ear pin slightly to the side and let sit still while the other.
Elongated black pads, interchangeable and, especially, a material of synthetic leather and foam padding with a soft inside-inch left and right ear pointing 20 degrees forward and sutured to its original position, in spite of us we expected the advantage that it can work, as well as its ability to develop a variety of head shapes and sizes. The exterior of the helmet are oval is black with silver and black with touches of design, and the rest of the plot.
The adjustable headband is padded hard plastic in the crown of light materials and services, such as offering a bit of pressure placed on the head, but at the end of your weight tends to a small patch which affects the skull Discussion . As a result, the headphones tend to return often. The HD 201S feel a little "deceptively easy, but it survived our case, several tests to prove its durability.
The traditional two-sided, non-detachable cable 10 feet directly from the two plastic boxes and ends at the 1/8-inch sheet - not exactly ideal for riding trip, however, and it's a big problem. The cables inside the cups are comfortable and safe.
Performance
We heard the hard drive with a Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q880 laptop 201S (with Dolby Home Theater), a receiver Onkyo TX-L5 and the Apple iPod Classic, Creative Zen Vision M and HD Zune MP3 player. With an impedance of 24 ohms, it takes little energy to drive these headphones is that the batteries in portable devices, but require a lot of energy (which is a strong or a headphone amplifier) ​​for the best sound, especially when it comes to up and down.
In our test of his, we compared the HD 201 with one of the favorites in the category budget, PortaPros Koss. Instead, the bass is clean and the rest of the soundstage, but do not have the strength and momentum of PortaPros, despite the good armor helps a bit "in this sense. If you have a preference for Sennheiser and I want to continue under a provision of $ 100, a Sennheiser HD 205 II low, but it will cost you three or four times the HD 201S and less than twice the PortaPros.
The response of mid-range and avoids all the bass sounds natural, but there is a slight peak in the sound, do little to offend the ears, but the guitars tend to play or go too light or completely lost in the mixture. Voice of scale are also irregular, some notes are a bit exaggerated in some songs, but in another understatement.
The heights to give a slight emphasis on sibilants, or words that an s-sound is a harsh hiss can be annoying at times, including, but not a big problem. Scope and detail are pretty decent, and the sound is typical of a closed headphone, but a "little better than what is expected for the price.
Headphone closed, the 201S HD no shield against environmental noise as well. Are sufficient to block the noise of the house, but disappointing for most mobile applications. The HD 201S also has a very low sensitivity, so we want to increase the volume to normal levels of happiness or volume. This can not be a problem for the home theater receiver, MP3 player, but with quantitative restrictions can be frustrating to use, if you like listening to loud music. There is no leakage of noise in MP3 players and a minimum of AV receivers available, you can keep fans Beiber closet.
Completion
The Sennheiser HD 201 are not revolutionary doses were ever created, but its price and tonal balance that is a benefit to the casual listener. It may seem disappointing in comparison with the rise of the headset with several drivers, but they deserve high marks for a cleaner sound in general, at a price so low, not to mention his position comfortable for long listening sessions . We recommend these headphones if you have an amplifier or listening at home. Otherwise, you can see something more commuter friendly.

Sennheiser PX 100 headphones review

Sennheiser PX 100-IIi headphonesThe good: The Sennheiser PX100-III slight improvement on a previous project, the hinges are reinforced for durability, a line distance and cable clutter transport and storage in one-sided event, including transportation.
The bad: A few clouds bump woofer common low-end of the spectrum, and adds weight supported by the homophonic music with melodies, like classical and jazz.
Conclusion: Despite its lightweight construction are Sennheiser PX100-III with astonishing strength, and we recommend it for travelers, students and all other purchases for the new open back headphones.


Presentation
The Sennheiser PX 100 headphones are a III-modern version of the PX 100 in the conventional circumaural (covering the ear) header with a more robust online three-button remote control to increase the digital music player that the cable headset connected to the left. The $ 89 PX 100-III remains the top-shelf sound quality for the price range, and most listeners will appreciate the low energy range, even if the woofers are harmonies of jazz classics and heavy very heavy. These headphones are the ideal combination of comfort, travel light, and sound design of two-year warranty backed Sennheiser they can, so we have little reason not to give PX-100-III of our recommendation its entirety. think
Design and functionality
The PX 100-III helmet to keep the same form as the previous version, but with a profile of black to look more conservative than the original palette of black and silver. It supports rather than a star-shaped design on the outside of the helmet twice, the PX-100 IIIS seems a simple horizontal bar across the strip of plastic reinforced with steel. Soft foam pads hearing set for each, and have not noticed any real movement, even during active use. Our only criticism of the project is that the PX 100-III 4-meter cable to a vertical grip ends - we prefer L cap that will last longer because they are constantly pulling the point of connection cables stores.
The joints in the halls are also available with the band through a thin plastic edge, the most likely location of future fractures, even if the Sennheiser supported by a two-year warranty that covers the lack of compatible hardware. In any case, we are the physical improvements in the design to ensure a long life impressed if you keep your bending, cutting and contain all the protection the bag soft vinyl.
To make things even easier for the listener, Sennheiser PX100 series connected to a single 4-foot cable of this generation to keep organized and easy to wrap around the band, while docking. The single-sided cable reduces cable bulk and also includes a button to three inches from the left atrium control of several remote, you can browse your music on an IOS device.
The headphone remote control acts as a microphone for hands-free calling via a compatible smartphone, like most remote controls for headphones, you can double-click on the middle of a song in your music player - should also be noted that two volume buttons on any iPhone 3G came out before the job is a symptom of non-Apple hardware, Sennheiser. We have also had success with it occasionally with an Android phone, so your mileage may vary with non-IOS devices. If you own an iPhone, but you can save $ 20 by purchasing the remoteless version called PX-100 II.
Performance
After tests and properties of PX-100 headphones, Sennheiser, we are grateful, not far from the original sound quality. The sub-$ 100 price seems to be the limit of what most consumers are willing to spend on replacement headphones, and the PX-100IIi not disappoint.
The headphones work of drivers and neodymium dynamic to operate the audio stream and create a warm sound profile, which varies greatly in the direction of low-end. Light jazz and classical music listeners may consider an alternative to the headphones, the Koss Porta Pro, maybe. Most of the population, but mostly rock, R & B and hip-hop is the additional boost to a welcome addition to the sound configuration, adding a touch of richness to the definition and detailed.
We compared the PX 100-Koss Porta Pro IIIS with cheaper headphones, which began production in 1984 and was a favorite among music fans for its breadth and depth of being. We revolutionary Michael Jackson "Off the Wall", an album of Quincy Jones as a litmus test generates, and Koss PortaPro is a brilliant, natural sound with a frequency range from 15000 to 25000 Hz for a clearer separation of the instrument compared the PX 100 - IIIS.
That is, the Sennheiser PX100-III is bad - even a little bit "They provide a powerful bass, while the Porta-Pro are a bit" sharper and more defined .. Whichever model you choose, if the purchase decision can be reduced to a matter of aesthetics or price, such as Porta-Pro for less than $ 30 could be in line with a lifetime warranty, and had cut ear to listen.
Completion
The Sennheiser PX-100IIi is a perfect complement to any music lovers, and reinforced by a new dimension of acoustic music with a heavy bass track. Its simple design allows easy folding to safely transport and the new remote control adds additional features to an already impressive range. Finally, the generous two-year warranty for a manufacturer of headphones, and even if you do not confuse with the support of political life by Koss, the PX-100IIis was upside down, head and PortaPros can do more for those who want a modern look for the call.

AKG K 830 BT Wireless Headphones Review

AKG K 830 BT Wireless Headphones reviewThe good: Simple, headphones AKG K 830 BT with any Bluetooth device and the battery can last several days of normal use before the last.
The bad: The sound of expensive headphones can not exceed the limits of Bluetooth technology in its current form.
Conclusion: The AKG K 830 headphones offer a simple solution, BT Wireless music fans tired of tangled headphone son, but the disappointing Bluetooth audio fidelity is not worth the price ambitious.


Despite its ease of use and convenience, we hesitate, the AKG K 830 Wireless Headset BT $ 250, without recommending a sharp drop in prices. How many Bluetooth devices such doses do not lose a significant amount of sound quality due to compression of the file, and connectivity with little to offer, and wireless, are difficult to maintain. If you're in the market for a pair of wireless headphones, WR700s TDK is an effective alternative for less than half the price of the AKG K 830 BT headset.
Design
The AKG K 830 BT's ear so the ear soft vinyl and sit on top of the ears, instead of "his" in-ear cans like Sennheiser HD 201S, the temple.
AKG has a strip of thin plastic layer of vinyl quilted understood that the voltage decreases with a helmet as part of a day. The adjustable headband and swivel 180 degrees rooms can accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes head, and I personally had no problems with the ease of use for a period of two weeks, sometimes more than 4 hours.
AKG reduced to cover the weight of these headphones with a glossy black plastic on the controls on board, but makes the material is cheap and offers a noise reduction unit, which is not to inspire confidence in the long term. They are too thin to throw in a bag is probably why AKG includes a protective case to keep your driving time.
In any case, would not be comfortable that you are free unprotected, beaten around in a backpack, and we will notify you of small sections of plaster that emerges from the ear.
Half of the receivers on the left are all the buttons you need to call and music playback functions, including pause / play button at the top, back on the right and left remote, and two Address button at the bottom of the circle to adjust the volume.
There is also a large multifunction button in the middle of a phone you choose to accept and end calls and redial the last number with the number of clicks you have selected. If you remember all the controls, you can also use the microphone and disable the control panel complete with a different set of models of push buttons. We tested all the controls in a couple of weeks, and our only complaint about the keyboard layout is that the change in the amount invested, while the "Volume" is sitting in front of and behind the "volume". It ignores the problem, you can expect an adjustment period (which lasted about a week) to get used to the return key.
With the headphones, the AKG K 830 BT package also includes a small USB connector to charge the bottom of the cup in his left ear, and said the stock market.
Characteristic
AKG provides detailed instructions on how the AKG K 830 BT is compatible with any A2DP device and torque clutch is very simple: just hold down the multifunction button flashes quickly to the bottom of the green LED and blue to show pairing mode unit.
This should find the headset to be visible in a single device for the music player, and the two must match the phone to call when a listening device. After establishing a connection, the headset will remember and connect the next time you turn in the neighborhood.
We were able to make calls and listen to music without interruption of the line talking about 33 meters from the access point before the sound started to cut. The distance is the modern standard of Bluetooth, but unfortunately, so it's audio compression, which leads to a reduction in the value of the AKG K 830 BT headset.
Our tests also check AKG, said that the battery life can last up to 8 hours of continuous playback before fleeing. With just the USB power cable and a laptop, we were also able to earn a couple of days from the device over several listening sessions before the LCD is the need for a fee. Until we forget, the multifunction button long enough to be among the applications, you will be satisfied with the performance of the battery.
Performance
It is logical that the two smartphones with a Bluetooth headset, like most mobile phones and Bluetooth, but all Bluetooth audio accessories to suffer the same problems, you can send an audio signal path from source to the device loses half serious about audio compression quality stereo.
These Bluetooth headsets are AKG otherwise. The production quality is far from what is heard from a headphone jack, but still a step off the field with headphones MP3 players and smartphones today. Compressed audio files, stop the music defined a sound, it is difficult to separate the instruments individually and harmonies. The sound of all significantly towards the end of the spectrum of mud bad, and every song seems to be a dark edge, which is "a little unfair to artists and their expected production.
Completion
Although generally ignored the limits of the transmission of audio signals via Bluetooth to facilitate the operation of the cord for comfort, inflated the AKG K 830 price tag of $ 250 BT's disappointing, especially when alternative technologies such as TDK headphones WR700 Kleer wireless audio quality provide a much cleaner and universal connectivity to any device with an audio jack 3.55 mm, at a fraction of the price. AKG to find a way to get quality sound through the headphones AKG K 830 BT to increase, may take more money from TDK.

Sennheiser HD205 II Headphones Review

Sennheiser HD205 II DJ HeadphonesThe good: The Sennheiser HD 205 II DJ headphones are comfortable to wear even for long-term commitment and exceptional low-budget headphones. Scattering noise is minimal, and protect the sound environment is very effective. The price is affordable and a protective case included.
The bad: The mid-range response is low. The design of hard plastic cracks after moderate use and the headset folds for storage. The side that comes with the cable is too long for portable use, and no way to replace the cable.
Conclusion: Although Sennheiser HD 205 II headphones DJ in good, natural sound and able to deliver the performance, listeners critical lack of charm.


Sennheiser is usually with words like "elite" and "face", but now you can "price conscious" in this list. The Sennheiser HD 205 II DJ (list price $ 80 $ 49 to $ 59 online) are part of the company's online budget HD 200 Series, and for use by DJs and musicians.
The HD 205 II headphones is a medium-sized circumaural design includes a semi-closed and Sennheiser is a two-year warranty. Including a major case of transport of vinyl is thick and 1/4-inch adapter gold plated 1/8-inch screws. The building is beautiful, but it bends a little. "Longevity may be a problem, but the amount of wear is added, ultimately, to the user. After moderate use, but we have a clear indication of breaking the sound from the left edge of the helmet when adjusting the volume.
The company logo is small sample of the money on the wing, as its emblem embossed in silver and high on the hinges of the left and right. The pads are removable and round, and especially black vinyl fabric sewn inside the right earpiece turns slightly upward at 40 degrees in either direction, to supervise an ear and help from the headphones. The exterior of the cup with a circular design with silver accents, while the rest of the chassis is black.
Hard plastic, adjustable headband has a framework that is sufficiently damped inside the ring and offers exceptional comfort in the long run, reducing ear fatigue. (Note that comfort may vary depending on the size of the head, because the legacy of a problem for some and not others.)
The non-detachable face, 10 feet long, straight cable outlet in the left ear and ends in the 1/8-inch sheet - roll is not exactly ideal for travel, however, and it's a big problem. The swivel cord on the inside of the glass raises questions about how to protect the cable is connected and how long the device over time.
Semi-closed design guards against HD 205 II environmental noise - be it underground in the street or in the office - so beautiful that I could not hear a conversation between two colleagues who are 8 feet away from the area test. Therefore, there was minimal loss of sound through the headphones, even at high volume, the only way people heard music headphones when he was under the foot were removed.
We took advantage of HD 205 II headphones combined with a Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q880 laptop (with Dolby Home Theater), an Onkyo TX-L5 receiver and the iPod Classic, Creative Zen Vision M MP3 and Zune HD. With an impedance of 32 ohms, it takes very little energy to drive these headphones, so that the batteries in portable devices with ease.
As far as sound goes, the lower is less pronounced than seven years detailed HD 212 Pro, but the HD 205 II, and is much better than the Shure SRH440 professional studio that was not low enough. High frequencies are a bit "on the choice of HD 205 II, but the highs and lows are balanced, as is the 212 ° The bass is solid, dense and surprisingly deep without being too aggressive - more than enough to keep jump to the head.
Mediums are well integrated into the overall mix. The top is high control pretty well, managing to avoid the mortal sin of the hardness of the cutting edge. This may be important for the use of portable digital audio sources, which tend to be brittle sound in high frequencies.
The heights of the Major Lazer is "Guns do not kill people ... Lazers Do "album sounds fresh and clean, while the bottom was good, but soft Marvin" Midnight Love "album Gaye. The sound of a variety of genres ranging from the great, just okay. More electronic music and instrumental n is not the importance of the DJ or artist wants to achieve, while the broad band tried to create the atmosphere Stomp. Dub Step and hard-rock sound a bit "confused and not as strong signals.
The HD 205 II bass level met the powerful and dynamic, if observed, "Inception" look - one after the next explosion was heard and broken glass was loud and clear. However, the accuracy and clarity seemed to weave in and out - the sound of a gun is stressed or dead Cobbs is spinning, but the people whispered and background noise, such as transport, were "a little weak.
Adjusting the EQ settings on the device or the addition of a headphone amplifier increases the power and clarity, but do not expect miracles, like Sennheiser HD 205 DJ headphones II doses of the budget, after all . Expect a professional sound would be too much to ask, but to play well to listen every day and occasionally for the DJ in training.

c-Jays Headphones Review

Jays c-Jays headphone reviewThe good: The Jays c-Jays earphones with an open architecture design and includes three interchangeable ear cleaning solution and the best sound quality to your liking.
The bad: the most is the smallest platform to its appeal, but also produced the least comfortable of the three options.
In short: Jay is a good sound in the headset that allows you to customize your listening experience three ears. Although not cheap, the c-Jays are worth the investment, if you mount a pair of post-sale lifestyle purchases mobile headset.


Almost all helmets many tips for choosing the best solution for your ears. Blue Jays C-Jays on the ear that includes three sizes of pavilions, each offers a different experience in terms of comfort and sound quality. We tested all three break-in period of one week, and c-Jays continue their sharp, clear sound and it mixes with an Apple iPhone to impress. $ 120 headphones are not cheap, and we expect the C-Jays is considered the most difficult market for its portable cans, but we recommend them to their frequencies balanced and comfort options.
Design and functionality
C-Jays The Blue Jays gave us memories of the simple black plastic cover that comes with the Walkman in the last decades. If you want to make a fashion statement has to do with the headphones, the d-Jays are probably bored with its simplicity, but in reality to find the option attractive black and white for the same reasons. Also appears to function-oriented design, the aesthetic credo of the Blue Jays, who are also tiles tiles utility to four handsets. If you are really looking for a couple with a call back, check PortaPros Koss, one of our favorites, which sells for $ 50 with a lifetime warranty.
The group and the two speakers are 1.75 inches in nylon with a hinge at the base dimensions of adjustment, the two trophies that folds into the handle for storage in your case can be made. The material makes the headphones very easily, is available at only 2.6 ounces - certainly can not be said in reverse.
Tiles ensures that the nylon fiber strong enough to handle all day immersed in a bag or briefcase, but we are more comfortable with the slide in a padded package. The bow must be flexible to accommodate a wide range of head sizes and in all directions, and we can imagine how adequate a couple of semi-active earphones to the gym.
C-The Blue Jays no shortage of accessories and soft drawstring bag for transport. It is also a double column, 3.5 mm adapter for air, listening to a stereo splitter for the group and listen to a 6.4 mm stereo adapter for the home. Jay also has an additional wire which extends the original Y cable is 23.5 inches 27.5 inches additional one. If you want your music player in your pocket, then you are definitely connected permanently to maintain the extension cable. The cable has a thermoplastic rubber that holds its shape and does not seem prone to wound complications.
Performance
The three interchangeable ear c-Jays make it unique from other headphones. In addition to small, medium and large buds of the three different foam densities, which were more frequent for any format.
The smallest amount of diluent upholstery, most sounds can penetrate through the membrane can do to make this pair is ideal if you are looking for bass and treble. At the same time, thin pads allow direct contact with material management, you may have to suspend or modify the helmet every half hour. However, our platform of choice for use in terms of sound quality - you get a good balance of rich bass, and support in spite of its design allows the top felt close to what you hear.
The bearings are next on the average density of the stock market and covers Sony Walkman headphones allow this, and (if you're old enough to understand the comparison) is still trying to sift enough clay, although the sound quality good is evident in these dimensions.
