v-JAYS Headphones

iCreate - 5/5

July 2009, United Kingdom

"Jays is a company that just doesn’t know how to do things badly. Every single time we get a pair of headphones through the letterbox we think that they can’t possibly be as good as the last set. And each time we are proved wrong by yet another set of great headphones. […]We can’t emphasise just how good these headphones are."

Wired - 7/10

September 2009, USA

"Surprisingly deep bass. Capable of ear-thrashing loud volumes. Lighter than a bag of helium. Somewhat portable."

Touch My Apps - Kiss it

"Grab ‘em! The v-Jays is priced attractively enough that it warrants a buy. Is it the best-sounding headphone in the world? No, but for the price, it is certainly among the very best in a competitive class, and considering the market, one of the most balanced hardware releases. If you like bass, the v-Jays will satisfy unless your tastes drop to subwoofer levels, or you prefer less lean and more flab. Mid and high frequencies are also very good and only slightly recessed in comparison; indeed, the v-Jays may be one of the most realistic listens in the sub 100$ market. It is also made better than most of its competitors, giving it an edge or two on offerings from Sennheiser, Koss, and Ultrasone. What it lacks is a carrying case – an item which would make this headphone one of the easiest kisses at TMA. As it is, the v-Jays is too strong a contender to sit happily with its many peers in the Grab category, but it perfect. Good on ya Jays!"

Lyd & Bilde - 5/6 - Best in Test

September 2009, Norway

"Jays tiny headphones are really cheap and really great. They are the smallest headphones in the test, but sound far better than you would imagine. For the price the v-JAYS are excellent and have a living and engaging dynamic sound. With these on your head it never becomes boring."

"The v-JAYS deliver rich and open sound, with lots of punchy bass and smooth sound all over the frequency range. You can turn up the volume really loud and it still delivers a great sound experience. They are a great catch, and I don’t say that just because I’m a Swede (Jays is a Swedish brand you know). Highly recommended. You can get them in a shop near you for around $100."

Digital Trends - 8/10

July 2009, USA

"Ditch the wannabe earmuffs and grab a pair of these powerful welterweight champs."

HiFi & Musik- Most Portable

July 2009, Sweden

"The most beautiful and functional headphone we have seen in days and years, almost innovative in its own simplicity. Everything is reproduced very fast and tight and the bass is dead dry and extremely well articulated. They come delivered in a no-nonsens gift box."

iGizmo - 4/5, Recommended

June 2009, United Kingdom

"For the money, we have no complaints. You have little right to expect this much power from headphones this small and light, and without any compromises in subtlety and balance."
