14 DAY TRIAL // If you're looking for a headset that will match almost perfectly your iPhone 4, design-wise, while in the same delivering a very good level of functionality and versatility, then the newly-introduced A-JAYS Four headphones should certainly make it on your short list. In order to keep size at a minimum, a-JAYS newly-developed flat cable technology that delivers precise, full-bodied sound with minimum tangle, while the all-black design will certainly match the predominant color in all iDevices.
Moreover, the headphones' built-in remote uses the latest available microphone technology out there, its digital, active surface-mounted MEMS silicon microphone removing GSM/TDMA burst noise and provides wide-band RF noise suppression.
Plus, the MEMS microphone also works in 360 degrees meaning it will effectively pick up your speech in any position.
The remote and mic of the a-JAYS Four are only supported by iPod nano (4th generation and later), iPod classic (120 GB, 160 GB), iPod touch (2nd generation and later), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad.
The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation and later), while audio is supported by all iPod models.
a-JAYS are also compatible with Macbook, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro (2009), while the remote and mic are also compatible with most applications such as VOIP, Skype, iChat and other recording applications such as voice memo.
Now, moving on to the tech specs, it's important to mention that the a-JAYS headphones sport a 8.6 mm Dynamic Speaker, delivering a sensitivity level of 96dB @ 1kHz, as well as an impedance level of 16 Ohm @ 1kHz.
Moreover, frequency response is set in the 20 Hz – 21 000 Hz interval, while the whole package is relatively small and lightweight, measuring 18.3 x 11.8 x 13.8 mm and weighing just 14 grams (0.49 oz).
a-JAYS Four comes with up to 5 pairs of silicone sleeves ranging in size from XXS to L, this choice meaning that all a-JAYS users can achieve a natural, comfortable fit, and maximum external sound insulation.
Despite of the very interesting features they provide, the a-JAYS Four headphones are actually rather affordable, since they'll be shipping in the US at some point in January 2011 for just around $69.99.
