There are benefits to choosing in-ear headphones. You can workout with them easier, they are better for transport, and they keep your hair game in check (sue us, we like to look good). With the new a-JAYS Five, you've got even more reasons to ditch those bulky over-ear cans. With three different models, each designed for your specific device (Android, iOS, or Windows), the new offering from the popular a-JAYS series feature a soft and durable flexible thermoplastic body so they're super easy to take on the go.

The cables are tangle free (huge plus) and the custom drivers handle lows, mids, and highs beautifully.
