Rock Jaw Alfa Genus V2 Earphones 3x Tuning Filters - British Engineered

So i've been searching for some replacement in earphones for some time now. My trusty Sennheiser of 6/7 years were finally giving up the ghost and falling apart. A sad day, as they have done me proud. Sound is a very personal thing, and everyone has a different view on how they like their sound to, umm sound. I've tried many earphones that people raved about, and felt they were lacking compared to my trusty Sennheiser's. So always reverted back to them. They were like those trusty pair of shoes, or jeans, that you knew would one day be worn out, and secretly dreaded that day. I knew that day was approaching that they were no more. So i pursued my quest to replace them.I've always felt that Sennheiser had more bass compared to other manufactures, and i liked that. That's personal to me, and one of the criteria i use when listening to music. I first heard about the Rock Jaw Alfa Genus V2 Earphones from a review. What caught my attention was the review said these had good bass. I was intrigued, but equally skeptical, I had fallen for this trap before.The Rock Jaw Alfa Genus V2 Earphones arrived in modest box with easy to open packaging. One minor point i felt, was removing the earphone from the foam packaging. Why? Because you have to use the cable to lift earphone up, which then allows you to take hold and remove it. This puts a strain on the cable connecting to the earphone. A minor drawback. What was in the packaging though was the earphones, a cable clip, 3 pairs of tuning filters, which offer more treble should you want it, and a more natural sound. You also get a case and a range of sleeves. Not to shabby, but the real test is the sound.Again, skeptical of the bass, i instantly went for a track with bass. One that i felt other earphones would lack in. To my surprise, the bass was there. It wasn't over the top, and saturating the rest of the sound, but rich enough to make it's presence known. A good start, but one track doesn't mean they're a winner. So I tried other styles of music, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Mids and trebles were to my liking. Which means i might be onto a winner here.I still need to burn these in, but so far, i'm impressed. The build quality is equally good. They don't feel cheap, but feel well made. The cable is thick, but not to thick that it's annoying. Yes there is some cable noise, but seriously, you're going to get this with any earphone. I like the design, not outrageous, and not to minimalist that i should worry about them getting stuck in my ear. To me, these feel like a well designed set of earphones.So a quick run down of Pro's and Con's.ProsGood Bass!Actually good sound all roundWell madeNice designGood selection of sleeves and filtersGood priceWell packagedGood length cableConsminor niggle getting the earphone out of the packagingAs i said, sound is personal, and as such, what is right for one, might not be right for another. However, what i would say is, give them a try, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Bought a pair of RockJaw Alpha Genus V2 headphones after reading a review on Techadvisor. For a pair of headphones that cost just over £30 these are truly amazing. Thsese are probably the best in-ear headphones I have owed so far. The sound is excellent even straight out of the packaging where some meodels owned previously needed to be "broken in" before the sound improved, it's not the case with these, although it does say that they require upwards of 20 hours of usage for best results (will update the review after). RockJaws were a replacement for my Sennheiser CX3.00 which cost around £60, and I must say its like day and night in terms of sound and build quality (the cable on Senheisers just below the earbud just turned into gum and started to come away from the core).One other thing I was impressed by is a presence of interchangeable filters, this is the first time I come across this technology, and I must say it is mindblowing. In the box there are 3 sets of filters Silver - for bass lovers, Gold - natural sound and Black - for increased treble. All of them have a rubber seal to protect the drivers from any moisture. Also you get 3 different types of tips; standard silicone tips in 4 different sizes, double layered, and memory foam in 2 sizes. Must say that memory foam tips are very good, they are comfortable and block out external sound.As to anything there are few bad points. 1 - I feel that the cable could be just a little bit longer and less bulkier (but then i suppose it adds to durability), maybe RockJaw engineers can consider a slightly thinner braided cables. 2 - The filters are skrewed in a bit too tight to be removed by hand and might require a pair of plyers to aid (maybe it's jut on my pair). But these are just minor engineering issues and they do not in any shape or form affect the amazing sound of these headphones.So if you are looking for a pair of inexpensive headphones these are in my opinion are the best choice. Hope we'll see more audio equipment from these guys.

Having used Sennheiser CX3.00's for the past year or so, I thought it would be hard to top the quality of sound combined with comfort and build quality offered by the Sennheiser's. After losing mine, I looked into highly-rated earphones under £50, which is where multiple websites recommended these earphones.The sound quality is incredible for an earphone. The lows and the highs are both crisp and don't suffer from muddiness nor clipping. They come well packaged with a plethora of different earbuds for all types of ear sizes and shapes. Changing the tuning speaker is incredibly easy - it simply screws in and out. The earphones themselves feel sturdy but remain light comfortable - the build quality is stellar and they look good to boot.The different tuning filters have a clear difference in sound. The bass one comes fitted as standard - the bass is deep but doesn't sound muddy and isn't overdone like other brands such as Skullcandy. The treble filter tends to be a little too high for my taste and music taste, but the difference again, is noticeable. The natural filter strikes a solid balance of the two, and works extremely well with a device that offers a custom equaliser setting.Will definitely be recommending these to anyone looking for earphones around £50.
