Jays a-Jays Three
For
Smart design; decent bass control
Against
Fall far short of class-leaders with dynamics and treble
The a-Jays Threes make an impressive impression with their unfussy, smart-looking matt-black earpieces and flat, tangle-resistant cable.
Pop them in your ears, though and you'll find that the cable carries far too much friction noise (but you can wrap it over your ear to reduce that).
The thing is, though perfectly respectable with decent bass control, the Jays fall far short of the detail and dynamics of Sennheiser's CX 300-IIs, and get rather flustered in the treble.
