So my search began for a new set. I wanted something with good sound quality, has a microphone I can use it for phone calls, and be less than $100. Most of the earbuds that met my criteria for sound quality and a decent mic at the Apple store were over the price point I wanted to pay.
I didn't want to spend too much as I'm saving up for the new iPhone later this year. And knowing Apple could conceivably make changes to the headphone jack, I didn't want to take the chance that the earbuds I bought wouldn't work with the new iPhone. So I expanded my search and started looking on Amazon and various other forums that I frequent.
Then as luck would have it, I stumbled onto the Jays a-JAYS Four earbuds. They looked decent and had some good reviews online. I found a seller selling a LNIB pair and I jumped on them. They arrived yesterday.
The packaging is quite nice. While the box itself appears to be plastic, it's actually covered in a rubber material. It's a good first impression.
The earbuds and mic had a simple, clean design. There were silicone sleeves in various sizes from XXS to L so that you can fit them for your ear size. Once I found the proper fitting ear sleeves, I tested them out with the iPhone. If you look closely, you'll see that the cables are flat and tangle free.
While I don't have the ability to share a sound clip with you, I can report that the sound quality of the a-JAYS Four is quite good. Compared to the standard Apple earbuds, the a-Jays Four provided enhanced sound with good amount of bass and mid. I can hear notes that I previously couldn't hear on songs that I've listened to for years.
The mic has a remote that can be used to play/pause music, answer/hang up phone calls, skip songs forward or back, and change volume up or down. It's a nifty control that mimics most of the functionality that I used with the Apple earbud remote.
I'm very glad that I got these and would recommend the a-JAYS Four.
