Description

Award winning sound, sleek shape and flat tangle-free cords have always been features of the a-JAYS headphone range. When developing the a-JAYS Five Headphones, the company wanted to set a new standard for in-ear headphones. Something long-lasting that would be the most durable they have made so far. Designed and engineered to match your iOS, Windows or Android device, a-JAYS Five are the only specifically designed, multi-platform headphones, with a fully-functional three-button remote on the market.

Key Features
and/or Benefits

Designed and engineered full-feature models for iOS, Android and Windows devices, a first for the Australian market.

a-JAYS Five come in three different full-feature models for your iOS, Windows or Android phone. The three-button remotes are each designed to match your smartphone and support all features such as answer/ end calls, play/ pause music and videos, skip songs, change volume, and voice control etc. By selecting the model made for your phone's operating system an abundance of features can be tailored for the user and their device.

By redesigning the entire earphones from scratch, the designer selected and combined materials with specific characteristics to create a unique, immensely durable and functional body.

Covering precision turned aluminium with a flexible thermoplastic form made it possible to manufacture durable yet soft and flexible earphones with great acoustic properties in an extremely compact format.

Ergonomically designed to fit the complex geometry of human ears, the earphone is formed in a single piece ensuring long-wearing comfort, strength and durability.

The angled form factor makes a-JAYS Five headphones fit comfortably inside the ear canal. The soft outer body makes them flexible so they follow the movements of the wearer and prevent cable stress on their ears.

Inside the earphones, the custom driver has been redesigned to provide powerful and precise bass with a wide dynamic range, and detailed midrange and highs.

Whatever genre of music is played, the listener is provided with an authentic audio experience, exactly as the artist intended.

Utilising the latest top-of-the-line, 360 degree, high-performance, low power, top-port silicon microphone for perfect speech quality across the range.

The high performance MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology microphone consists of an acoustic sensor, a low noise input buffer, and an output amplifier. The built-in echo cancellation makes the audio perfect in nearly all situations. It reduces surrounding noise and does not degrade over time as it recharges the mic-magnets each time the earphones are connected to the phone.
