Ditch the wannabe earmuffs and grab a pair of these powerful welterweight champs.


Highs: Lightweight, comfortable fit; clean, punchy bass; sharp highs and midrange; sturdy build quality

Lows: Nearly worthless without included headphone extension; no slider to adjust left/right cord split

Introduction

From the same icy lands that bring us flat-packed particle-board furniture, savory meatballs, and chewy candy fish, a company by the name of Jays set up shop in 2006 producing premium headphones. (We’re talking about Sweden, by the way.) Though Jays began carving out a name for itself with an extensive line of in-ear headphones, 2009 ushered in the very first on-ear models: including the bass-loaded v-Jays, which retail for £60, or about $98 with current exchange rates. Despite a rather unassuming design, the v-Jays impressed us with their comfortable fit, clean highs, and uncharacteristically skull-rattling bass.
