hey everyone this is Jimmy from Jim's review room welcome to another review today we'll be looking at the newly released Jabra rocks now there are wireless Bluetooth earbuds cut it in cord you can say that connects to your phone and always light earbuds just for the fact that they set right in your ear canal for direct sound they block out unwanted noise and of course the ease of portability now I recently reviewed the jaybird Blu bud X and they sounded amazing but there's a good handful of people including myself that have experienced poor fitment they kept falling out of my ear so with the Jabra Rocks they're priced at only $130 retail and we'll see if this more budget-friendly pair not only fits better but also determine its sound quality so without further adieu we'll get started so the first time you pick up the rocks you'll notice the metal construction right off the bat giving a feeling of durability and longevity the plastics are all lined with the slight silicone texture to give it a bit more grip and more of that rugged appearance now testing this in my pocket and also my gym bag has showed no signs of damage or wear over time in pur Jabra they're also dust and water resistant now one of the biggest improvements over Bluetooth ear monitors over the years is the battery has gotten a lot smaller the better is housed on the left earbud behind an enclosed metal cap a micro USB cord is provided for charging on any USB charger or computer granted in my opinion the cord was a bit short though nonetheless charging from a dead battery to fall took about two and a half hours and then testing the earbuds all day living it at about 50% value which was enough for comfortable listening less than me 6 hours as claimed by Jabra now one of the unique features of the job rose to put them on standby and save power you put the two earbuds together and they magnetized conveniently around your neck to prolong its usage and of course you can always turn them off altogether with the inline controller which also has your volume up and down buttons now you're able to skip tracks as well and one very worthy feature worth mentioning when not listening to audio you can tap the volume up and down button simultaneously and Java tells you how much battery is remaining something I wished was at all Bluetooth speakers and earbuds that I reviewed now Java right out the box provides not three but four silicon tips for fitment now only one set offers a flange design while all the others are the rounded tips Jabra also includes three sets of wings to put into the ball of your ear for additional support the Jaybirds which I just recently reviewed said a bit more forward and also the wings were a little bit more stiff which barely worked out for me there now the job rows on the other hand are much more pliable flexible and more importantly comfortable they sit in but sit a little bit more back compared to the Jay birds making this in the end fit amazingly well now I guess I have small ears but using these small wings with flange design tips prevented the Jabra rocks from moving at all now I went jogging with these things in weight lifted and mountain bikes and no issues personally very very impressed but can the same thing be said for the sound quality though now through my testing here the first thing that I noticed when I first put this on was the bass now if you're a bass lover low humming and resonating sub bass to the punchy upper bass levels are very apparent listening to songs from Drake little Wayne into pop artists like Katy Perry did very well the genres of pop hip hop and rap to drum and bass and dubstep you enjoy these very much it's a very satisfying response but for those who prefer a more balanced sound range the bass is a bit dominant though now mid-range levels where most sounds the human ear is most familiar with especially vocals are pronounced and does offer enough clarity to be enjoyed the upper mids and high frequencies were good but you can tell these ear monitors are a bit more focused on base where cymbals and snares are being hit isn't as pronounced or distinguished as much as I'd like or at least they didn't hit as high as the Jaybirds recently reviewed now EDM trance techno in the likes of my favorite cascade or black mill still sounded good due to the bass this may be more immersive in the beat but this is just my personal experience I wasn't as immersed you can say into the song if I can describe my experience there altogether the volume is very loud and mainly keeping this at about 52 possibly 60% loudness called for a very suitable experience now regarding the Dolby Digital Plus it's an app that's offered through either the App Store or Google Play Store whichever platform that you're on the app allows you to play your stored music and playlists or any video on YouTube with Dolby Digital price see now although it does enhance the sound quite a bit and does offer more depth and in my opinion clarity this feature is only exclusive within the app I can't apply this while I'm using Pandora or watching a movie for example I got Netflix which is quite a letdown though so overall I'd say these are still very good earbuds especially for those who enjoy bass now although mention the highs were not as pronounced but if you're not wearing the Jaybirds and then these draw bars right after like I did as the average consumer you probably won't notice the difference in those highs it really comes down to preference if you prefer bass though with these these are very good ear buds now if you prefer a more balanced approach but still sounding great overall consider some others but hands down these dropper racks is the best fitting ear buds I think for most people with some amazing features like the magnetized standby mode premium build quality and a battery indicator and although the Dolby Digital doesn't work in other online services it's not a deal-breaker so be sure to comment below and tell me what you think about these ear buds and as always be sure to subscribe to my channel for more content and like or follow me on my Facebook or Google+ pages this is
