JAYS T00075 Report


JAYS T00075 Review by WPM

Walk away...

The good:
- Solid inline remote - easy to find function buttons.
- No-tangle cable is nice.
- Responsive customer service (but cannot make up for poor product quality...)

The bad:
- Build quality. Mic has now failed on both pairs I've owned. First pair lasted 4 months, together with inline remote signals (stop, play etc) failing soon after. Sent them back to JAYS and they honored the warrantee and sent a replacement set (but I paid for my shipping). Second pair failed within just 1 month. All under normal daily use conditions conducted with care. I could send this pair back and I'm sure they'd send out a third pair but what for - more of the same?
- As other reviews state - poor ear fit, with sharp edges that hurt. They leave your ears sore.
- Headphone jack is also poor. When it moves around in the [iPhone] socket (which it does a lot as it's got a silly 90o bend design), you get nasty static noise through the head phones.

Bottom line: I wanted to like them, especially with the genuine customer service they offer. But too many negatives, not least of which is that they reliably break. I'm sorry Jays, but I'll never be a return customer.


JAYS T00075 Review by ADC

Decided to write a review as this is a bit coincidental for it not to be a reportable issue.

When I looked at reviews myself before purchasing these, the only thing close to a common complaint were a few people saying one bud stopped functioning after a period. Simply based on this only being a few reports against quite a good number of positive ones, I decided to buy.

Also, the one thing with these buds is they collect a lot of wax, and the speaker grill can become clogged. So some of these failure reports may have come from people who didn't expect that and didn't read the cleaning instructions.

About 2 months after purchasing my first pair, the left earbud became very quiet compared to the right, until it eventually stopped working. Cleaning did not help, so I took them back and a replacement was issued (which are my current ones).

About 6 months on into my second set, the left bud started playing up again. (note the left bud is the one without the control). Sometimes it would work until I pushed it into my ear. Again, cleaning did not help. The bud was either off or on intermittently, but definitely related to movement. (E.G. it wouldn't just shut down while in my ear).

Now the the left bud is dead and it's not even intermittent anymore.

It's a shame. I like these units otherwise. The design is outstanding. The sound quality is great (when they work :-D). However they do appear to suffer from a build quality issue. I had a pair of shures for 3 years without a single issue before they finally fell apart.


JAYS T00075 Review by Matt Saunders (San Francisco, CA)

I received these headphones as a gift and was looking forward to using them as a headset for phone and Skype calls. The flat cable does seem to prevent tangles, but unlike other "earplug" style headphones I've worn these ones really start to hurt my ears if I wear them for more than about 10-15 minutes. They do work fine as a headset on Skype calls with a Mac laptop, but not with an HTC Android phone--I could hear the other person, but they couldn't hear me.

I was hoping I could use these for regular headphones as well as for a headset, but because they're so uncomfortable for me I only use them for the occasional Skype call and keep my old headphones around for music.
