Testurteil: "9 out of 10"
Test: Einzeltest: Jays c-Jays
Zitat: Pros: + Foldable funky design, very portable
Cons: - Loss of noise reduction with small pads
I enjoyed listening to most of these headphones, some of which were really comfortable. If this is a major factor for you I would swerve towards the Jays, the Creatives or the Sennheisers as they all are very easily worn with the Jays and the Sennheiser PX100 having the added benefit of being ultra portable. I particularly took a shine to the toughness of the Jays design - pop them in the supplied bag and they are good to go. Sound quality was a different matter with several of the headphones suffering from noise leakage due to their open back design or else poor noise isolation. I found the best for this were the Creative AURVANA Live! by a country mile as the cans fit well around the whole of the ear, however this leads to the Creatives being larger and heavier than the others in the test. I would recommend the c-Jays as they come with the a choice of different sized pads which will allow you to adjust them for different situations. They also seem to weigh next to nothing and can all be squeezed into the handy carry bag. Sound quality was best on the c-Jays and on the Creatives. The fact that the latter are closed back with ear-surrounding cans means that even the lowest noise can have the same chance of being audible in noisy locations. I really noticed better vocals and a crisper all-round sound which maybe was slightly overpowered by bass at some points but all in all a very good pair of cans. I would have to say however that my top pair within this test are the Jays c-Jays they are on a practical par on most points with the Creative AURVANA Live! but they have the benefit of being much more transportable and when not being used can easily fit away into a pocket or backpack with no fear of breaking them. So for an iPod upgrade and ideal next step, it´s the Jays c-Jays.
