I'm not in to doing online transactions, it's just that the store I'm buying from happens to have an online store. I'll be driving personally to the location anyways so anything else other than the store I linked will not work out for me.

So from what I've been reading, I'm leaning towards the Jays. I have a question though. How does it stack up against the ATH-CKM55 which I heard from a friend saying it sounds phenomenal??

Go to a local audio shop and try both out. In my experience of going to audio shops and trying out different earphones, nothing beat the a-JAYS three. But each person's preferences are different, so your best bet is to try out your friend's CKM55 and the a-J3.

Design-wise, the a-J3 is prettier in my eyes.

Thanks for the tip. I won't be buying until next year's February anyways, so I still have plenty of time to make decision. Who knows by the time something better will come out.

Keep the recommendations coming guys.

I'm really leaning towards the Jays now that I saw the cable on the AT. It's so fine!

Something weird though. It's more expensive than my M20, yet I feel that it doesn't sound as full. Does it have something to do with the phones themselves?? Is it because my M20 is a circumaural and the a-Jays Three is an in ear??
