I
use a V-Moda Crossfade LP as my primary headphones when listening to
music from my phone. Fantastic sound quality but the wires they include
are rather long and as such I do end up in a tangled mess at times. I
was recently sent the a-Jays One+ to test out. Promise of tangle-free
flat cords? I was pretty excited to try it out.
The
box they came in was oval-shaped and seemed to be made of sturdy
plastic. Definitely gave off a sense of quality and premium feel.
Opening it was pretty fun. I tried looking around for a spot to push the
inner contents out or maybe clip open the box on the side but this box
wasn’t meant to opened that way. There is a note on the bottom that says
to ‘remove the sticker to open’. Don’t see that very often!
There’s a one button remote having a mic built in which enables the user to either talk or listen to the music on the device.
So
lets start off with how the One+ fit and feels. They come with five
pairs of silicone ranging in increasing sizes. I found the xs and s
sizes to be good fits for me. I also tried shuffling the wires around to
see if they tangled but no I was wrong! Even stuffing them into a bag
and bringing them out repeatedly did not cause issues. A little shake,
and they would straighten out.
Sound
quality on the One+ were great. I tried them with music ranging from
soft rock to heavy metal and the sound carries well across them. Calls
were also good, loud and clear with no static that is present in a lot
of earphones. Personally I am not a huge fan of using in-ear earphones
(which is why I main the V-Moda Crossfades) due to my ears getting sore
after having them be plugged in for a long time. When you first start
using the One+, they are comfortable but I personally would not enjoy
using them for hours at an end. I have heard that getting separate
softer cones help but I have yet to try that option out.
The
One+ is also marketed as being Android optimized and you have the
option of installing an app for it. The app does a nifty job reminding
you of the different button combinations to change songs, volume or take
or reject calls.
The a-Jays One+ was sent to me by mobilefun.com. They also have a fantastic collection of
