Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Jays V Jays

  • Extremely lightweight and portable design (approx. 2 ounces)
  • Collapsible arms for compact storage
  • Detailed and balanced audio performance for the price point
  • Solid bass response that is punchy without being bloated
  • Spacious soundstage with good instrument separation
  • Includes helpful accessories like a 27.5-inch extension cable and extra earpads

What customers don't like about Jays V Jays

  • Noticeable sound leakage due to open-back design
  • Build quality feels somewhat 'plasticky' and lacks long-term durability
  • Foam earpads are thin and can feel flimsy or wear down easily
  • Clamping pressure may cause ear fatigue during long listening sessions
  • Lacks modern features like an inline remote, microphone, or carrying pouch
  • Short native cable length (approx. 23.5 inches) without the extension

Verdict

The Jays v-Jays are ultra-lightweight, open-back on-ear headphones designed for high portability, weighing just 59g and featuring a collapsible, folding headband for compact storage. Technically, they are equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers utilizing neodymium magnets, offering a frequency response of 25 Hz to 20,000 Hz, an impedance of 24 Ohms, and a high sensitivity of 113dB, making them exceptionally easy to drive from mobile devices. Main characteristics include their distinct square-shaped earpieces with replaceable foam pads and a dual-sided 0.6m cable that includes a 0.7m extension in the box. Their primary pros are a punchy, detailed sound with well-tempered bass and crisp highs, alongside a comfortable, low-clamping fit that feels stable even during movement. However, notable cons include an lack of sub-bass depth, a slight 'graininess' or coarseness in the high frequencies, and a lack of isolation due to their open-back design, which makes them less ideal for noisy commutes.
