I’ve always liked the sound of Rock Jaw ear buds and now it seems they’ve brought out a wireless version. Don’t need another pair but hard to resist at this price?

My goodness these are impressive. Very well made, come with a choice of tips including the default foam ones that act a bit like ear plugs. Also 3 different types of filters to suit the music you listen to. I have the default gold filters in place and the bass is taught with really detailed sound at the top end. Very impressive sound for any headphones I’ve tried, notwithstanding they go in your ears. At the price you’d be a fool not to get some. Really happy but given myself a headache playing music too loud!

I'd be interested but they aren't properlywireless in my view.

Wireless ear buds shouldn't have a wire between them imho

I see it as a bonus as it stops me losing one of them! Besides, with the wire around the back of my neck I cannot tell it's there.

Can you post some pictures? The ones on their website aren't particularly good, more of the wire between them would be useful.
Sure







The drivers are made out of aluminium, they are also magnetic.

So how do you charge them? I'm tempted but the info on their website is sadly lacking.
Usual arrangement, there's a dust cover with a USB C socket underneath in the battery. Battery life is 11 hours. Oh and there's a mic for receiving/making phone calls.

I've had several different pairs like this, including some Bose sound sport and these blow them out of the water. They're comfy and sound simply brilliant to my ears.

I’ve had a bit of trouble getting the tips to fit my huge ears so I went to their support page to ask advice/options. Within 15 minutes they’d called me to explain they come fitted with medium size foam tips and there were large and small options in the box if you lift up the foam bit. I hadn’t seen this so 100% my fault.

He said any trouble I should call back and they’ll send me new ones. He also asked how I liked my new earphones and told me they’d worked really hard to get them right. They are only a small family business so he was genuinely pleased when I said they were great. Definitely worth supporting a small British business imho.

I’m not getting that much out of them but I’m playing mine too loud. They sound excellent at high volume but I think I’m going to end up deaf. They are superb, and the noise isolation from the comply tips is excellent. Highly recommended.

Weird. Mine arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Have you tried calling them?

I think that maybe down to the couriers they use?

They finally turned up yesterday. No courier, just regular royal mail.
Good news. Mine were delivered by a courier I’d never heard of so perhaps they’ve had a few problems?

I was surprised to find Rock Jaw are a small family business. Their customer care is really good as a result and worth supporting imho.

10% off again. Are these worth getting? My only concern is how flimsy the cable might be?
They're great, get some.

I’ve found the (robust) wire is quite stiff to start off with but with a bit of use it’s more pliable and the sound has improved with use. Very happy with these, don’t forget the additional foam tips in the box, under the card board. By default they are fitted with medium size but there’s a large and small size included in the box if you know where to look for them.

Forget the silicone tips and use the foam ones. Roll them between your finger and thumb before jamming them in your ear like ear plugs. Small and Large tips are under the cardboard. Try large.

The wire does soften up with a bit of use.

The stuff falling out the box thing isn’t because it’s a return, mine did that as well! Yours might have been spot checked for quality control. If everything is there, don’t worry about it.

Now I’ve had these for a few months I have to say I’m so pleased with them, comfy with foam tips, good noise isolation, lovely detailed sound and now the wire has softened, they are easy to wear. I’d think they were a bargain at twice the price. Highly recommended.

Anyone else notice small holes starting to appear in the foam earbuds?
No but to be fair the ear buds are standard items sold by Comply. I got a pack from Amazon
