In December I was sent another pair earphones to review by Brainwavz. Over a month later I have finally found the time to have my say about their quality and comfort (blame strange exam dates). This time I am reviewing Brainwavz' M100 earphones.

These earphones come equipped with a microphone and remote attached to the wire leading down to the jack. The microphone is including within the small remote which had 3 buttons. 2 being the volume controls and the other being an "action" button which can answer calls, play/pause music and videos and even tell your phone to start listening to your voice for a search. This remote would be extremely useful at times where you can't use your hands easily, such as when exercising. The remote is so small in size that it rarely gets in the way of tasks you are performing and sometimes you can forget it's even there. Saying that, the remote isn't too small that you struggle to male use of the in-built buttons and functions.

This time I believe Brainwavz got it spot on this time with the sound quality, obviously the most important aspect you look for in a pair of earphones. The sound is sharp, clear, precise and smooth. No hint of audio fuzz and no struggling to make out sounds, it is just so easy to hear everything.
The specifications of the set is as follows:

• Drivers : Dynamic, 8 mm
• Rated Impedance : 32 Ω
• Frequency Range : 12 Hz ~ 22 kHz
• Sensitivity : 110 dB @ 1 mW
• Plug : 3.5 mm, Gold-Plated
• Cable : Braided 1.3 m OFC Copper
• Remote & Mic: 3 Button, Apple & most Android phones compatible

As always along with the earphones you also receive a hard carrying case plus many extra earbuds you can make use of depending on what fits most comfortably in your ear and what you're using the earphones for at that time. The earphones plus the extra accessories will cost you £74 on the Brainwavz site which you will pay the price for as an audiophile for since the sound quality is at it's pinnicle. If you just use earphones for the occasional late night YouTube video or for a walk down the shops then maybe a more mid-range set of earphones would be applicable. That being said, £74 for a great sounding set of technology plus all the extras you receive (including a 2 year warranty) is a decent price if you're going to be using them all the time.

Brainwavz have asked me again to review their new range of earphones. This time I am reviewing the Jive series of earphones.

The Jive set is a model of wired earphones that are available in 5 different colours: Black, Blue, Green, Red and White. I have been sent the green set to review. The earphones come with an in-built volume control on the wire complete with a microphone and call/play button so you can make hands-free calls without the need to invest in the more expensive Bluetooth alternative. I tried out using the microphone on Skype and the quality was abysmal. This may be due Skype but have never had the problem before.

The earphones cost $28 so what do you get for you money? Well of course you get the earphones their self but you also receive the standard Brainwavz hard case to protect them. In addition you receive a Velcro cable tie, 3 silicone tips (S,M,L) and a set of comfy Comply foam tips. This is all the standard stuff from the company. But this is the first time I have noticed a shirt clip included in the pack which will help with concealing the wire and protecting it from being tangled and damaged when performing physical activities like running.

Now let's get down to the important stuff. The sound quality. This is a slighty improved quality of sound from the BLU-200 I reviewed last week but that may be down to the wired connection as opposed to the wireless. I used these whilst walking around for about an hour capturing Pokemon (I know, my life's great). They served me well and don't show any signs of damage what so ever but do seem slightly less durable that the previous models by looking at their build but only time will tell.

Again, since you receive multiple different sizes and shapes of ear tips the comfort isn't really an as you can change how you please. I used the already attached ones (medium) as they fit and feel best. This model has been kept light-weight and minimalist so it doesn't pull or drag your ears to the point of discomfort. The earphones come with a huge 24 month warranty so Brainwavz must be confident in the durability and strength of their product.
