Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Jays X Five Wireless

  • Lightweight and comfortable design, often forgotten while being worn
  • Detailed, balanced, and natural sound quality for its price range
  • Impressive battery life of approximately 16–20 hours on a single charge
  • Portable and convenient foldable design with rotating ear cups
  • Affordable price point, offering great value for money
  • Good Bluetooth connectivity with support for AAC and SBC codecs

What customers don't like about Jays X Five Wireless

  • Average microphone quality that often struggles with background noise during calls
  • Uses an outdated micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C
  • Bass may feel underwhelming or lack punch for 'bass lovers'
  • Physical control buttons can be small and difficult to identify by feel
  • Lacks a dedicated mobile app for customising audio profiles or settings
  • Average sound isolation and mild sound leakage at higher volumes

Verdict

The Jays x-Five Wireless are lightweight (150g) on-ear headphones featuring 40mm dynamic drivers and a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. They offer a foldable design with memory foam ear cushions for portability and comfort, providing up to 20 hours of playtime on a single 2-hour charge via a micro-USB port. Connectivity is handled through Bluetooth 4.1 with support for SBC and AAC codecs, alongside a detachable 3.5mm cable for wired use. Main pros include their highly comfortable, ultra-light build and a balanced sound profile with punchy bass and clear mids. However, notable cons include the use of dated micro-USB charging rather than USB-C, small control buttons that can be difficult to navigate, and the lack of a dedicated mobile app for custom audio settings.
