Brainwavz Jive Review!

Thanks to the solid metal casing, the build quality is fantastic. The Jive earphones are available in different colour options such as: Black, White, Green, Red, and our Blue review sample which looked rather like purple than blue but it was still nice. The cable, the silicone ear tips as well as the in-line remote and microphone are all colour-matched. The plastic in line remote is decent enough, with a three-button layout. The volume buttons work with iOS, while Android devices will only be able to use the center button for answering calls and playing or pausing music. The cable is ordinary rubber-wrapped all throughout which makes it fairly durable, but it's extremely tangle-prone as a result.
As with most in ear headphones, the Jive features an extended earpiece that sits deep inside your ear canal. This gives it excellent noise isolation. Additionally, the sales package includes a pair of foam ear tips, which ensure top-notch fit and improved isolation, as well as 3 different sized silicone ear tips. If you would like to see what came in the box I will leave the video below.

Something that was immediately clear is that the Jive is not built for bassheads, and lacks any real attack or punch. We found the excitement missing in the earphones. I found that the Jive offers an unbelievably clean and sharp sound. Every individual element of the track resonated clearly, with crisp responses in the mid-range. The mids tend to sound flat and equal all through the lower and upper mid-range, which helps in achieving this level of clarity. Finally, we found that the Brainwavz Jive can leak some sound when listening at high volumes, but it isn't too bothersome, but can occasionally sting.

At $25 USD, the Brainwavz Jive is a great purchase. It's built well, comfortable, comes with lots of useful add-ons and accessories, and offers a decent sonic signature. With a focus on clarity and crispness, the Jive is good for all kinds of music. However, the lack of bass might fall short of the expectations of a lot of bass-oriented listeners.
While lacking in sheer excitement and attack, it more than makes up in the clarity department, and can be incredibly immersive with the right kind of music. If you're looking for a sharp pair of earphones under $30 USD, this should be on your list.
